Seeing people post about how unfair the “mob justice” against the Cornell rapists is doesn’t really move me when there is no justice for survivors. The system doesn’t work; it enacts further punishment on the victims. Society is even crueler. So spare me the “mob justice” rhetoric about the accused

In March, Washington State passed a tax on millionaires to fund public education, childcare, and expand its earned income tax credit. Now, special interest groups backed by the rich are trying to trick voters into repealing the tax by claiming it will apply to non-millionaires. Don't fall for it.

Washington Taxed Its Millionaires. Now the Rich Want It Repealed.
Washington State voters will get a chance to accept or reject the 9.9 percent income tax on millionaires approved by the Legislature, which broke the state’s taboo against levying income taxes.

ICE is days away from a $125 million contract to monitor 1 million people, flagging “potentially criminal” behavior before it even happens. Our investigation shows how far back this surveillance plan—now being weaponized by the Trump-Vance admin—goes.

ICE awards contested, controversial surveillance contract to Thomson Reuters
Documents shared exclusively with FedScoop offer insight into the initial contract awarded six years ago that acted as a critical building block in DHS’s current surveillance apparatus.

Hi, Norwegian here
In the USA, medical school tuition is
typically over $200,000.
In Norway: Nothing.
Students get government loans for living
costs. Each semester you pass, up to 40%
converts to a grant.
This is why a cashier's child can become a
