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.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

Yup.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

As someone who grew up in NZ in the 1980s it's wild to find you're living in a country that is worse at recognising apartheid and genocide than... South Africa.

Can't wait for us to start being made the "baddie" characters in movies. Love that for us.

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

Now, more than ever, the world needs to help Ukraine drive out Putin’s army.

End the suffering.

Epstein victims' lawyer: While we have seen the documents, you haven't. When you see the documents, you're going to be appalled.

About this Florida vaccine story:

When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.

We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.

“Oh, they’d have died.”

The overall takeaway from the Epstein survivors’ press conference is that they are united and are no longer going to allow rich and powerful men to victimize, silence and intimidate them.

Including the ones in Congress and the perp in the Oval Office.

Netflix just stepped into California politics in a big way, giving Governor Gavin Newsom two million dollars to help with the fight over redistricting.

Netflix is willing to use its influence in ways that challenge right wing narratives and support a more inclusive vision for the future.
