In a budget season that seems filled with distraction and endless excuses for cuts to vital community programs, let this be a clarifying statement... #MathIsReal #njbudget

If we burned every math book and erased all knowledge of mathematics today...In 100 years? 1,000 years?Humanity would rediscover it all—theorems, proofs, primes, calculus—exactly the same. Because math isn't invented. It's discovered. Truths etched into the fabric of reality don't vanish when books do. Unlike fiction or ideology, which would never return the same.2 2=4 forever. Objective reality wins. #MathIsReal #Platonism

In such difficult times when everyday families struggle to afford the basics, the decisionmaking on display by NJ lawmakers - failing to address the childcare funding gap but directing 100s of millions to Netflix & Paramount - speaks volumes. #mathisreal newjerseymonitor.com/2025/11…

Trump: “We’re cutting it 1000%, 1200%, nobody’s ever seen anything like it.” Reality: That’s not how percentages—or facts—work. If math had feelings, it just filed a restraining order. 🟨 Flag on the fantasy. Truth matters. Always. #BullshitFlag #MathIsReal

"The increase S&P announced Monday is the eighth NJ has received since 2022 & only the 10th it’s seen since the 1960s...the state’s credit rating was downgraded 22 times between then & November 2020." See what progressive tax policies get you? #MathIsReal newjerseymonitor.com/briefs/…

Trump says he’ll cut drug prices by 1,400%. Cool—maybe next he’ll cure math. Voters deserve real solutions, not campaign delirium.#DrugPrices #MathIsReal #PolicyNotPunchlinesAsk

Ah yes, "Peak Trump" — where 43% is somehow the “highest ever.” For those proudly waving this headline like it’s a diploma, please remember: drugs are bad and delusions are not a substitute for reality. He’s the 47th President, not the second coming. Approval ratings below 50% don’t scream “mandate”—they whisper “barely tolerated.” #MathIsReal #Cult45 #CountryOverCult #TrumpFatigue #LowBarLeadership

It's the taxes, stupid. One party insists on implementing a post-neoliberal industrial policy while clinging to a 1980s trickle down tax regime (square peg round hole), and the other argues that lowering prices by crashing the economy is good. What are we even doing? #MathIsReal

If you think some of the governor's proposed revenue raisers are bad, fine. I certainly have my quibbles with sin taxes. But if you don't like them, what's your replacement? Every dollar you don't raise is a dollar that has to be cut from a worthy program. #MathIsReal

I was gonna say "better late than never" but that this is even considered something to still be discovered or understood at a high level is just supremely distressing to me... obligatory #mathisreal

I appreciate the expertise of economists, even those I disagree with (eg #MathIsReal) but I also remember many in the field dismissing Krueger's minimum wage research out of hand & thus preventing millions of workers from greater economic security for decades. So, it depends...

It's not a difficult thing to structure a property tax program so that it supports the folks who are struggling most to afford costs of homeownership. The fact that the program continues to have a regressive impact means it's purposeful. Equity has left the building. #MathIsReal

11th hr halting of the congestion pricing plan is the dictionary definition of fiscal irresponsibility, plunging the MTA and, by extension, broader budget into unnecessary peril & vulnerability. The credit impacts alone are maddening, let alone basic funding tactics. #MathIsReal

The equitable tax campaign volley from @Groundwork was so major that it got picked up by the state-based @NJMonitor! Making major waves, keep up the great work @owenslindsay1 et al! #MathIsReal newjerseymonitor.com/2024/05…

Live shot of me, patiently waiting for anyone to take this mapping at different intervals and cross reference with property values and property tax amounts in flooded areas to quantify municipal economic impact and potential tax revenue loss. #MathIsReal

I got the chance to explore how other states go about their budgeting & how NJ fares in relation & lemme tell ya, I've got some thoughts. Come hear me chat about it & much more (including the no-brainer of funding NJ Transit) in Trenton on 5/16, hosted by @NJPolicy! #MathIsReal

Now, to me, because #MathIsReal, providing a tax credit is functionally the same as providing an appropriation, even if the money "doesn't touch govt hands." They're literally called "tax expenditures" because they are functionally expenditures!
