I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

Democrats are getting the country closer to creating a filibuster proof majority to ban trans healthcare and sports for kids than the GOP ever could alone and they expect us to support them lol. reminder "surgeries" is a vague category that could easily include puberty blocker implants!

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

The shameless abuse and violence against trans people by these so-called "medical experts" continues to this day, unabated, because the vulnerability of the trans population is downplayed and the harms against us go unreported and unpunished. We are positioned as aggressors even as we are discarded.

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

@NYCMayor
The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

Together, we will ensure Jewish New Yorkers are safe and celebrated. We will invest in their protection, their history, and their future.

Our safety and our thriving are tied together.

@ADL_NYNJ
@NYCMayor Mamdani's antisemitism strategy finally landed
and only confirms what we already knew: this mayor does
not treat the hate facing Jewish New Yorkers as an
emergency and refuses to acknowledge the different shapes
it takes. Since he took office 271 days ago, ADL has recorded
hundreds of antisemitic incidents in NYC, nearly 40% of
which were related to Israel.
After throwing out the IHRA definition on his first day in
office, nine months later, his signature strategy still refuses
to replace it with any working definition of antisemitism. He
has looked the other way as flags glorifying terror groups
have been flown outside synagogues, a deliberate act meant
to intimidate families walking in to pray, and as crowds
gathered outside houses of worship voicing support for the
same groups. At the same time, he continues prioritizing his
anti-Israel agenda over the basic promises he made to
Jewish New Yorkers.
Our expectations have not changed: zero tolerance for
antisemitism and extremism in city government, real
protection for Jewish institutions, a clear and formal
definition of antisemitism that the city actually uses, and city
contracts, pensions and procurement kept free of ideological
boycotts. ADL will keep tracking and fighting antisemitism in
New York City and across the country, whether or not this
mayor is willing to do the same.
