Lets be clear; changes to tax laws do not 'force' the wealthy to leave the country.

The wealthy are choosing not to increase their contribution to the country they are (currently at least) living in.

Sure that is a choice they are free to make, but its their choice; no-one is forcing them into anything.

They already have enough money, so refusing to pay higher taxes is a choice about what they wish to support in their (for now) home country!

They are not victims!

Although specific for the UK, I doubt these numbers differ much between countries. The market has always been an ideological construct, to benefit a small clique.

The image is a bar graph titled "Public ownership is popular," presenting data on public support for various public services. The background is dark blue, and the text is in white and yellow, with icons representing each service. The graph shows the percentage of people who want publicly owned water (82%), energy (71%), buses (66%), NHS (87%), rail (76%), and Royal Mail (75%). Each service is represented by a colored bar with a corresponding icon: a water droplet for water, a light bulb for energy, a bus for buses, the NHS logo for the National Health Service, a train for rail, and a post box for Royal Mail. The data is sourced from a YouGov poll conducted in June 2024. The bottom right corner features the text "we own it."

“Excuse me, but I cannot make it in, they might take me, we don’t know what can happen”

“For the last couple of weeks, there have not been any vendors, no eloteros, no paleteros, nothing,”

“All of our youth are Black and brown folks, and we are in Boyle Heights, which, from where I’m sitting, is ground zero for what has been happening in these ICE raids all week.”

With all the horrible news coming from Palestine, Iran, and Israel, it is easy to forget the context.

And the context is that Netanyahu is on trial for bribery in Israel:

But I'm sure this in no way influences his decisions that accidentally create a gigantic distraction and provide massive political cover for him.

California proposal to make it a misdemeanor for officers to cover their faces prompts federal criticism

Vance Boelter has shown us the true face of the R-party: murderous, violent, gun-addicted, rampaging, and deceptive.

His act of disguising himself as a police officer in order to deceive his victims makes it beyond necessary for police and other law enforcement to have clear, readable, and accurate identity tags, front and back, that can be read at a distance. And such officers must not hide their identity by wearing face covering masks.

It is critical to both know that a law enforcement officer is actually that, and we must be able to identify each officer.

Otherwise we are being attacked by mobs of secret goons and secret police.
