I could add almost all the Covid profiteers; the estate owners granted legal immunity for the wildlife crimes their gamekeepers commit (by an estate owner!); the protesting farmers who can shut down the motorway network while green protesters are banged up for marching down the street ... etc etc

I wish it were true that "no one is above the law". But while the City of London acts as laundromat for the world's dirty money, as almost all fraud and waste crime go unprosecuted, as no one has gone to jail for the financial crash or the poisoning of our rivers, this is manifestly untrue.

At a time of massive income & wealth inequality Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” gave a $1 trillion tax break to the 1% while taking healthcare away from 15 million Americans. Working families will die so that the very rich get even richer.
Yes. We need a wealth tax on billionaires.

I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: If you believe you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

People like Donald get worse if they’re allowed to. His disgusting racism is increasingly blatant and dangerous because the Republicans, with their silence, encourage it. They are complicit in every awful thing they allow their hideous leader to do.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

This is what oligarchy looks like:
Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, spent $290 million to elect Trump.
Since Election Day, Musk became $548 billion richer while his companies (SpaceX & Tesla) paid $0 in federal income taxes last year after making $13.7 billion in profits.

How Hitler seized power:
— Demonize opponents.
— Create crises.
— Weaken the press.
— Declare a state of emergency.
— Undermine elections.
— Make the rule of law irrelevant.
— Rule by executive order.

Our billionaire Treasury Secretary called Denmark “irrelevant.” Hmm.
Unlike the US, in Denmark, health care & college are free, the starting wage is $22 an hour, paid parental leave is 1 year, paid vacation is 6 weeks & all workers get pensions.
That seems very relevant to me.

What makes this statement by Emmanuel Macron so unprecedented is, for the first time, a leading European ally is equating Trump with Putin.
“No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.”
