"Ms. Davis Gates recently memorialized black activist Assata Shakur who killed a New Jersey police officer in 1973 as a leader of freedom whose spirit continues to live in our struggle. But after her election to run the state union she said her goal is to show people how to practice democracy how to work across out differences how to create solidarity based on our collective needs. By solidarity she means more money for union dues"

"A 2023 paper by Stanford economist Joshua Rauh found that out-migration by California high earners accelerated after the 2012 hike. Reported taxable income by wealthy denizens who didnt leave also declined perhaps because they used other means to shield their income from higher taxes or reduced their business activity in the state. The tax hikes thus raised XX% less revenue than expected"

"Mr. Mamdani also wants to raise the city and states already astronomical income tax rate of XXXX% to XXXX% and raise the state corporate tax rate from XXXX% to 11.5%.

"💯 The biggest risk is a socialist takeover of the Democratic Party.
