I propose a minimum tax of 25% for billionaires.
Just 25%.
That would raise $500 billion over the next 10 years.
Imagine what that could do for America.
A major embarrassment for NYT's @gettleman
and his story on "How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence."
Gal Abdush is the Oct. 7th victim whose story leads and is featured throughout the NYT article. Her family is even featured as the cover image. NYT describes her as a "symbol" of Oct. 7th sexual violence.
But Abdush's sister says "there is no proof that there was rape." She also accuses the NYT of manipulating their family. They didn't know that she would be presented as a rape victim.
In other words, NYT weaponized both a dead woman and sexual violence to spread propaganda in the service of a genocide.
“#RankedChoiceVoting is the ‘it’ reform at this moment,” according to @MilesParks in a recent conversation with our Research and Policy Director @DebTheOtis, on NPR’s @npratc. https://t.co/PZY9IZatME
Latest numbers from #Gaza are now coming in.
20,031 innocent civilians in #Gaza have been murdered by the Israel occupation forces.
Of those, 8,176 are children.
4,112 are women.
We are witnessing an unprecedented ethnic cleansing operation in full view. This is #Genocide.

@clownworld Maybe Amerikkka should stop decimating the socioeconomies of the global south. This is called migration, not invasion, unless you're racist. This is human survival.
@ianmiles "Suspected" shoplifter.
How about "move out of the way and follow/arrest in your cruiser"?
Nope. Shoot her.
Always the same story when their training indoctrinates them into assuming we're all suspects, even more so if you're melanated.
Our dysfunctional, single-choice voting system rewards politicians who appeal to a tiny fraction of voters at the expense of the majority. #RankedChoiceVoting could flip those incentives around. https://t.co/aikvVP3IQb
More proof that US sees Ukrainians as cannon fodder:
US-UK helped formulate a battle plan that "anticipated" Ukraine taking heavy losses. US-UK officials "envisioned Kyiv accepting the casualties as the cost of piercing through Russia’s main defensive line."
Instead, after suffering "major casualties... Ukraine chose to stem the losses on the battlefield."
US-UK "vision" requires Ukrainians to sacrifice themselves.
An Ohio initiative that would legalize marijuana for recreational use officially qualified for this November's ballot yesterday.

McCarthyite NYT hit piece on leftist groups in the US including @codepink, suggesting they’re Chinese assets, prompts Marco Rubio to call for investigating them. Neocon attacks on dissenting voices are bipartisan.
So many of the horrible things happening in America right now, like teaching our children slaves were lucky to learn skills, or allowing women to bleed out in hospital parking lots, or pushing migrants into rivers to drown, could be stopped by the women who look exactly like me.
