Every day the case for taxing billionaires and multimillionaires out of existence grows stronger. We should set a maximum wealth ceiling of $50 million per person. Globally. That’s more than enough for anyone.

look, I may not agree with every decision our president makes, but he is our commander in chief and I will defend to the death his right to be impeached, removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and thrown straight the fuck into prison

I'm not sure this ends with anything less than a multinational force removing Trump from power given the fecklessness of the Democrats in opposing Trump.
Even if they win the midterms they'll do nothing and I'm not sure the world will wait.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.
Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

In one photo he captioned “Eagles going down!”, it’s actually a photo of a red kite from 2010 in Spain.
The other photo is from 2006 in Taiwan.
