Wealth tax is the abbreviated name that is used colloquially, where only incomes over a million dollars are taxed.

Yes, it's incredible!
Also free community college for residents, and money for transit improvements!

Sadly, it was such a close vote too. It only passed very narrowly. I hope more states follow suit with such strong data to support it!!

Also, let MA be proof that a wealth tax not only didn't cause a mass exodus of millionaires, there are more of them than before the tax was enacted, & it raised about 2 and a half billion dollars in 2023 alone

The white moderate who is more devoted to order than justice… who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action.”

The VAST majority of the violence seen from protesters is REACTIVE in response to STATE violence.
State violence is almost always unprovoked initially and disproportionate to any threat from protesters.
It is an assertion of the dominance of the state to which the people are expected to submit.

People participating in mass protests do not have to DO anything violent to be perceived as a threat by the state because—from the perspective of the state—a unified mass presence IS the threat.
State violence in response is often disproportionate because it’s a reassertion of dominance and power.

Wow, your username is accurate, because dang are your words failing you. Utter nonsense! Such typical liberal rose-colored glasses waxing nostalgic about democratic presidencies, under which citizens protesting were absolutely brutalized.

If they wanted people to leave they’d tell them and back them in that direction. But cops come from all sides. They’re corralling them like cattle that they’re gonna snuff out. They really can’t tell them to go home. It’s daytime. There’s no curfew. No one is breaking anything or even marching.

I have done this in a bike lane to a car parked there, totally straight faced to the driver: "this is the most humongous bicycle i have ever seen"

I said the same thing aloud when I read it. Such unnecessary death. And proof that we all have to fight back, because there's no just staying safe while they come for other marginalized groups. Our rights and our safety are all intertwined.

That shit drove me nuts during the George Floyd protests. There were so many incidents where police blatantly instigated violence through unlawful action, but legacy media just kept showing the same videos of looting and vandalism that came after.

As well as kettling protesters into untenable spaces & using crowd dispersal weapons improperly and purposefully in close range to kill and maim protesters, whether they're peaceful or not, many such weapons outlawed elsewhere.

Because increasingly more heavily militarized police are very open about inciting violence, not only infiltrating as undercover cops posing as violent protesters actively sabotaging the protests,
