Billionaires are using a loophole to avoid Medicare taxes.Closing it — and eliminating other ways around the tax for wealthy business owners — could raise more than $250 billion over 10 years for the program.(Published Dec. 2024)

Baltimore benches

Baltimore has put slogans on its public benches over the years. The two best known ones are “The City That Reads” and “The Greatest City In America”. When Baltimore led the US in teen pregnancy rates, some people said the slogan should be “The City That Breeds”.

Two local artists have made small bench replicas that I bought. (I’ll credit them if I can find the information.)

There’s an Instagram account with photos of the benches:


Posts on the Republican Nazi problem

The GOP has all kinds of bigots starting with Trump.

Not so long ago, hugging Hitler was one of those lines you just didn’t cross. But that’s what’s been happening with increasing regularity, revealed by a recent string of unhinged text chains among young Republicans.Read @johnavlon.bsky.social commentary: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol…

Like I've been saying, the present and future of the GOP is Nazi.

The GOP has a new candidate for Texas-23, Brandon Herrera. In addition to being a Mein Kampf-brandishing admirer of Adolf Hitler, Herrera is also well known for organizing a recreation of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr in which he gleefully pulled the trigger.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

Tom Nichols: “There are people in the Republican Party who think it’s a hoot to post Nazi memes and to use language from the Third Reich, and I wrote it because we can’t keep ignoring this and pretending that it’s normal. The Republicans in fact do have a Nazi problem.”@radiofreetom.bsky.social

Voter Fraud Is Rare

NEW: After accessing nearly half of the states’ full voter rolls, the DOJ's Harmeet Dhillon said it's only found “dozens” of instances of noncitizen voting.Though seemingly significant, 50 illegitimate votes would amount to ~0.000007% of roughly 680 million votes cast in the last five elections.

Democracy Docket (@democracydocket.com) 2026-03-11T16:00:15.134555407Z

Despite grand claims, a new report shows noncitizen voting hasn’t materialized

❇️ FACTS: The 2020 election was NOT rigged. Trump LOST both the popular vote AND the electoral college in 2020.The (bullshit) SAVE act is designed to disenfranchise voters. Republicans are on the WRONG side of history and they’re ANTI-American. Republicans can NOT win unless they CHEAT.
