First it was troops in L.A., sent to provoke and assault peaceful protesters under the banner of “immigration enforcement.” Now it’s troops in our capital to disappear the homeless. See the pattern? Sooner or later, the monster comes for us all.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.
I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Billionaires become sociopaths. Yes, we need to tax the rich to save the world: climate crisis, acidification, petro-wars, food and water shortages, universal healthcare, debt-free public education for all, housing for all…. Etc. etc… but we also should tax the rich for their own wellbeing.
