“If you kick us out, others will leave too.”
That kind of message is what some people are calling out as pressure tactics — and it’s sparking debate.
Critics say this is what happens when decisions are driven by political narratives instead of clear, consistent standards. Supporters argue it’s about standing firm on values, even if there are consequences.
At the center of it all is a bigger question:
Should decisions be influenced by the threat of backlash… or made regardless of who stays or goes?
👇 What do you think — legitimate concern, or pressure tactic?

@michaelyo @AlexDonno Honestly if you don't wanna compete....that will be an issue.....Miami isn't for everyone 🤷🏼♂️

Realistically serious competition for him to see the field in the next two years at Miami. If you wanna play right away and not compete, A&M is the move.

In the early 1960s, the top marginal federal income tax rate was 91% (on income over ~$400k, or millions today adjusted for inflation). But the **effective** tax rate (ETR) for the top 1% was only ~16.9% due to deductions, exemptions, and preferential capital gains rates.
Today, the top marginal rate is 37% (+3.8% NIIT on some investment income). The ETR for the top 1% is ~25-26%—higher than in the 1960s—per IRS/CBO/Tax Foundation data. The top 1% now pay ~40% of all federal income taxes (vs. under 20% back then).
Effective rates matter more than marginal ones.

This is the federal income tax play all over again.
It started in 1913 as a “class tax” on the rich, hitting less than 1% of the population with a 1% rate above $3,000.
It expanded during WWII into a mass tax on most workers through withholding, skyrocketing rates, base broadening, and bracket creep to fund wars and spending.
The wealth tax will follow the same trajectory.

On page twenty-six of “The Billionaire Tax” proposal in California, it explains how the state legislature can convert from a Billionaire Tax to an Everyone Tax without voter approval. They can also adjust the tax to be a yearly tax, not just one time…again, without your approval. Intelligence test for you: if this was meant to just target Billionaires, why did they write this in?

I'm just not the same person that I was before my brother died. I don't get the same amount of joy from things like I used to. No matter how hard I try, nothing feels that important to me anymore. I keep thinking the spark will come back but it never does. It's not supposed to be like this. I hate it.

I believe in the power of prayer. Please join me in praying for Maddox. Dear Jesus, please heal him and help his family get through this difficult time 🙏✝️🙏
Last night Maddox Graser had two hits and helped his Wooster High School baseball team win 10 to 0.
He was perfectly fine.
By 8 pm he was throwing up at home. It got worse fast. He was rushed to the hospital in Wooster and then life flighted to the Pediatric ICU at Akron Children’s Hospital this morning.
Maddox is a sophomore. A second baseman. A teammate. A son.
Right now he has no brain activity.
From a baseball field celebrating a win to a pediatric ICU fighting for his life in less than twelve hours. His family never saw this coming. Nobody did.
His mom and dad are sitting in that hospital right now needing every prayer they can get.
If you believe in miracles please stop scrolling right now and say one for Maddox. His family is pleading for them.
Please share this post. The wider this reaches the more people are praying over this young man tonight.
Maddox Graser. Remember that name and lift it up.
