The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Impunity Day: MFRR renews urgent call for justice for murdered journalists around Europe To mark the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists on November 2, the Media Freedom Rapid Response (MFRR) honours the memory of ...

#IDEI: In Europe, @coemediafreedom.bsky.social contains 32 impunity alerts about the murder or disappearance of 51 journalists in 14 countries. These tragedies are not isolated incidents but part of a global crisis of impunity for the killing of journalists, both in and outside of conflict zones.

Voters in California: Please vote YES on Prop 50, the temporary redistricting measure to fight fire with fire against cheating by the radical right in other states. Deadline to vote and to send in your ballot is Tuesday, Nov 4.

“Permanent Standard Time (not springing ahead in March) could prevent 300,000 cases of stroke per year and lower nationwide prevalence of obesity by 2.6 million.” #DitchDST

Newsom: "This is a historically unpopular president. His policies are even more unpopular than him. In every core category he's underwater. He who promised to make us healthier & wealthier & we're poorer and sicker ... He knows he's lose midterms so he's trying to rig it before 1 vote is cast"

What if Walmart turned its parking lots into solar farms? We asked experts to help crunch the numbers.

South Korea has mandated solar canopies for large parking lots. It's a no-brainer. We could offer firms incentives to do it here, or they could just friggin' do it! (H/t @assaadrazzouk.bsky.social)

Here's a little sumptin' I put together a while back...

Very true indeed, Presidential pardon 👇

It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession” Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

Soft secession. Blue states building parallel systems, withholding cooperation, and creating facts on the ground that render federal authority meaningless within their borders.

“Without state cooperation, much of the federal government’s agenda becomes unenforceable.”

I always wondered what was going through his mind as the word salad spews

Director of FDA drug evaluation unit placed on leave, NYT reports The director of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research was placed on administrative leave on Friday, The New York Times reported on Sunday.

July, Dr. Tidmarsh warned that the initiative risks injecting politics into what should be a strictly science-based review process. When experts raising red flags are silenced instead of heard, the public loses trust and patients lose protection. Science should lead, not politics.

“Permanent Standard Time gives your body a healthier rhythm. Energy, metabolism, and immune system stay more synchronized, lowering risks of chronic conditions.”

Reminder that Spotify has still not gotten rid of their ICE ads. They think they can just stay silent without answering to the public. Let’s show them how wrong they are, let’s hit them where it hurts! These corporations don’t understand anything unless it hurts their bottom line.

I’m rereading Liz Cheney’s book Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning. It occurs to me that Moses Mike Johnson is clearly guilty of treason. It also provides valuable insight on why he committed it. So he could personally benefit.

Congressman Joseph Neguse serving as the U.S. representative for Colorado's 2nd district put the Government Shutdown into perfect perspective. His statement here should resonate with American's from all walks of life.

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.

End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

It’s time for EVERY American to shed their politics and confront our grim reality.

Donald Trump is a mentally unhinged authoritarian.

He wants to burn down everything good and decent in our Republic for daring to hold him accountable.

He is a threat to America…and the world.

3/3
