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.

@LeslieStreeter
"Woke" was a term developed within the African-American community as a reminder to be aware and prepared. It was stolen to be directed at White people suspected of "virtue signaling" as a way to disarm its power and pervert it. Using it as a pejorative tells on yourself.

White people: please stop using the word “woke” as a pejorative. It has both a specific cultural and historical context predating the 21st century.

Change the narrative
We are all Antifa
If one is not, one is Pro-fascism. If you’re not against it you’re for it
Our Greatest Generation fought fascism and is the the counterpoint to the GOP inflammatory, anti-constitutional rhetoric intended to incite violence.

No Kings protests on 14 June 2025. Top left: St Paul, Minnesota; top right: San Francisco, California; bottom left: New York City; bottom right: Atlanta, Georgia. Composite: Getty, Zuma Press
The last #NoKings protest on June 14 was one of the largest in American history with a turnout between 4-6 million people, or 1.2-1.8% of the US population.
They want to suppress the next one on Oct 18 with as much fascist threat as they can, while exploiting it as an excuse for more oppression.

WGN-TV’s Debbie Brockman was dragged to the ground, cuffed and bundled into a van - which then rammed her vehicle to escape.

Here's the reality: On any given day the President might impose an effective embargo on trade with China. This is the second time he's done it *this year*. They may patch it up again, but the pattern has been set, and it will shape expectations for the rest of his term.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.
They make sure we have clean water.
They protect us from financial fraud.
They provide healthcare to our communities.
They make our government actually work for people.
Do not forget this.
