The "Art of the Deal" guy who said he could end the #Ukraine War "on #DayOne" and is still at war with #Iran 6 months after saying it'd be over "in a few weeks", says it's time for Ukraine to "get a new president who can make a deal." We're working on it Ukraine. We're working on it.
Trump on Ukraine: "I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal. It’s time for Ukraine to get a new president."

I know this is a bit of a pipe dream, but just a few very simple policy changes could transform our entire society: 1. Tax the rich. A wealth tax that applies not just to income, but investments and capital gains as well. 2. No outside money in politics […] [Original post on shakedown.social]
Chart showing that the top 100 richest people in the US own more than the entire bottom 50% of the population combined. Let me remind you: payola is Amazon's single largest source of profits. When I was researching Enshittification, Amazon's take from payola was in the mid-$30 billion. A year later, when I did tour stops with Tim Wu (who was promoting his excellent book The Age of Extraction), I learned that this number had climbed to more than $50 billion. This year, it's on track to top $80 billion.

i'm sorry am i getting this right? NYC Mayor Mamdani taxed wealthy people on properties they own if they don't live in them, it balanced the city's multi-billion dollar budget immediately, and all the wealthy people are still wealthy?

am i getting this right? they're still wealthy, right? and no middle or lower financial earners saw any additional tax?

am i getting this correct?

A two-panel Charlie Brown comic.

In the first panel, three young children (Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Linus) stand outside. One of the children, Linus, approaches the other two children, holding a library card, and says:

"Look! Library card! I've taken out a library card!"

He stands proud, holding his library card to his chest, and continues:

"I have been given my citizenship in the land of knowledge!"
