The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.
The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
😡😡
We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.
Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.
Make no mistake: the AI boom, and data center construction it requires, is nothing more than a massive giveaway to Big Tech oligarchs at the expense of our environment and our states’ public resources.
Our leaders should put communities before Big Tech's bottom lines.
President Biden: I stuttered when I was a kid. If I told you all earlier, when I was a kid, I had a cleft palate or a clubfoot, none of you would have laughed. But it's okay to laugh at stuttering. It's the one place where people think you're stupid.
"So much climate damage comes from assuming that Earth is simple, that it is easy to control and that it will bend to our will. Standing up against those simplifying assumptions is fundamentally a humanist thing to do."

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.
I have this cancer in remission (nearly 20 years now). I'm convinced the only reason I'm still alive is because I was (for a neuro knock-on catastrophe) treated with immunoglobulin donated by strangers. Their antibodies taught mine, got me out of a wheelchair.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
Since MSM isn't hammering this message daily... I will:
If. You. Don't. Have. A. Passport. Get. One. By. The. End. Of. March.
GET IT.
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
This was not an inevitability.
This is the result of decades of political choices that rig the system in favor of the wealthy and powerful while leaving workers behind.
It does not have to be this way.
