What a choice; a defining photo for the new gilded age. An inauguration that makes clearer than ever the triumph of oligarchy - one that isn’t incidental but intrinsic to the politics and policies that we’re seeing set out.

Here a great thread from @Rebecca_Riddell on the headlines of the report which breaks down how so much billionaire wealth is in fact taken, not earned.
Huge kudos to the people who worked on this report and all those who fight extreme inequality. We’ve got our work cut out.

Billionaire wealth surges to 'unimaginable' levels in 2024 as Oxfam predicts emergence of five trillionaires within a decade

Respect for human rights means no one should go hungry or unhoused.
That's why this human rights day, we're looking at transformative economic policies that reduce inequality and fulfill rights.
