Not fleeing: New report shows more wealthy residents in Mass., 2 years into 'millionaire's tax'

Despite previous concerns, Massachusetts' "millionaire's tax" hasn't seemed to deter high-earners from continuing to live here, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.

@teenvogue.com I hope you see that you've shot yourself in the foot. People are starving for good journalism from different perspectives and experiences. Shame on you.

Ask any of your favorite Black women writers from a decade ago why their bylines stopped appearing, and you’ll likely hear the same response: There is no place for us in media. In TV. In publishing or academia. For the majority of us, there’s no place but gone.

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.

If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

Government policies reward and compensate too much corn that needs too much fertilizer which runs off into too many streams and rivers and eventually kills too many people.

The best part about the school voucher scam? Private religious schools use vouchers to recruit athletes.

They are defunding public schools to make their football teams better…

According to new NBC and ABC/Ipsos polls, Trump's approval ratings — especially on the economy and cost of living — are now in the negative double digits.

Remember: Trump is a failing president.

He is not all powerful.

I'm scared all the time and it's exhausting. The cruelty in my country toward the poverty class and the disabled still takes my breath away. So many people truly think I have SNAP because I'm too lazy to provide for myself. I'm a quadriplegic. I truly need help.

"Welfare queen" propaganda vs reality. My nails are ratty tonight. I haven't gotten them done in literal years. My phone is 6 years old. I buy clothes from Goodwill. I live in section 8 housing and I'm a quadriplegic. The SNAP propaganda works but I promise it's not true.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.
