"Indifference is the epitome of evil." / β€žWe must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented"

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

One thing I'll say to Democratic Party insiders...

Please stop listening to people who make all of their money selling TV ads. Just...every Monday for the next year, spend time imagining what you'd do if you couldn't spend money on TV and had to do other things with that money.

Pam Bondi has just announced charges against the alleged Tesla firebomber.

"We are seeking 20 YEARS IN PRISON."
β€” we’re cool with pardoning J6 defendants.

AG Pam Bondi seeks death penalty for Luigi Mangione
β€” school shootings are cool.

And, No, I’m not ok with firebombing Teslas or murder

Doctors call it the Physiology of Poverty:

The stress of trying to survive every day breaks the mind and the body.

That's why working class people in America live SEVEN years shorter than the very wealthy.

Big meeting of European leaders in Paris today.
Unlike previous such events EVERYONE is attending this time, with the notable exception of:
- Hungary and Slovakia (sorry Viktor)
- Austria and Switzerland (delusions of "neutrality")
- Malta (delusions of being an honest broker with Russia)

Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.

Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

so, see how bernie is passing the torch to the younger generation? see how he's creating space for AOC by using his name, then allowing her to lead? see how SOME older people act like caring elders, and others act like half-dead, out-of-touch narcissistic control freaks?

be more like bernie.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.

Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.

NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.Β 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

I’m old enough to certify that Robert Reich has been warning US for decades about wealth inequality, inequity, and iniquity. Bob warned US not to abandon education and job training and jobs in small town America. But we did. We let it get borged by Fox and fiends.

The massive income and wealth inequality that exists in America today is literally a matter of life and death.

People in wealthy counties live SEVEN years longer than people in poorer communities. That’s unacceptable.

EVERYONE has the right to a long, happy and productive life.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.

Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.

This is why we must fix the system.
