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.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

The biggest takeaway from James Comey being indicted by a criminal fascist regime is that the Epstein Files continue to be hidden by the same treasonous criminals who are accusing him of a crime.

He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.
This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Gerrymandering is a form of voter suppression.
Voters in gerrymandered states find out quickly that their vote doesn’t count toward their representation, so they become apathetic.
