Mayor Michelle Wu did not "fail to shift more of the tax burden onto commercial real estate." The proposal was approved by the house but didn't clear the senate. Is this a place where we just make stuff up now?

As Boston’s cost of living continues to climb, many residents are reeling from seeing their January property tax bills increase significantly; the first bills issued since Mayor Michelle Wu failed to shift more of the tax burden onto commercial real estate https://t.co/cp5cTvuiuy

Judith Love Cohen was an American aerospace engineer who helped create the Abort-Guidance System that rescued the Apollo 13 astronauts.

When she went into labor, she went to work.

She took a printout of a problem she was working on to the hospital. She called her boss and said she finished the problem and gave birth to Jack Black.

Elon & Vivek are just trying to get the white community to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and focus on hard work and education.

What’s so offensive about that?

5/ It's pretty much male victimhood, misogyny, casual racism, trans-bashing, and conspiracy theories about vaccines, globalism, etc. The manosphere targeted by MAGA is not discussing tax rates and Ag subsidies. They're bashing women, joking about rape, etc...

Trump will run his White House like a Medieval court. He'll pursue an agenda for only so long, until he either loses focus... or somebody else catches his attention and he pursues their agenda instead. /10

Biden should resign so Harris becomes 47 and Donald has to throw out all his 47 swag

We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.
