And look, I’ll say this: I have met very wealthy people who are perfectly lovely. Liberal money does exist.
But money is power. And too much of it in the hands of a few people is very dangerous.
It’s anti-democratic. It’s unsustainable. And we have to do something about it.

I learned this lesson early on, growing up in an area where a seasonal influx of extreme wealth created extreme upward economic pressure.
Some folks look at wealth as aspirational. I’ve always viewed it as destructive, hollow, entitled…detached.

Reducing everything to dollars means nothing is sacred.
The level of wealth inequality we see in the U.S. is completely unsustainable. It’s destroying *everything* — including the planet we all share.
Billionaires are parasites hollowing us out from the inside. Surprise! They don’t like democracy.

What we’re seeing with WaPo is part of a larger trend.
If it’s not clear by now, there is nothing big money gets its hands on that does not dirty and destroy.

What we call “enshittification” is really the capitalization of everything.

Now would be a good time for Democrats to explain the “crime” these people are being punished for. Crossing the border is a civil offense. It’s not even a misdemeanor in some cases. Why such severe inhumane treatment? Democrats should say it’s because are not white. Their crime is their color.
Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

What a disgrace.
ICE may have handed a suspect in the largest jewelry heist in American history a free pass by deporting him before he ever faced trial.
This is the result of Stephen Miller’s chaos. Reckless mismanagement that undermines public safety and makes a mockery of the justice system.
