The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

It's crucial to understand that what's bad about income inequality is not just that it enables elites to consume more; it enables them to *control production*. They decide how to use *our* labour and *our* resources, and shape *our* future. It is a dictatorship of the rich.

Well played John.

Councils are under a legal duty to divest their pension funds from companies enabling Israel's genocide in Gaza. Use PSC's online action to write to your councillors to demand they support divestment: palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/divestmentduty

Britain is not a country of racist bigots.

Time for the decent majority to "take back control".

Repost if you agree.

"If we want real democracy, we need to extend it to the economy. That means overcoming the capitalist law of value and redirecting production toward social and ecological needs."

SPLENDID PARODY OF THE PEDO-IN-CHIEF'S MORONICALLY DERANGED STYLE OF POSTING, DESPITE THE MISSED OPPORTUNITY OF REFERRING TO HIM AS DONALD CHUMP, GOVERNOR NEWSCUM.

4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

There's an obvious solution to this problem: nationalization. Spain should create a national solar energy company and undertake the necessary development directly, totally irrespective of profits.

This is likely to happen elsewhere too. As long we leave the energy transition in the hands of capital, we are hostage to its logic.

Remember, capital does not care about prices, it cares about profits. Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels, but they are not as profitable.

So, capitalists are slamming the brakes on new solar investments in Spain, potentially threatening the government's targets.

As a result, energy prices have dropped. The FT reports that, during some parts of the year, energy prices are negative.

This is great for citizens, and great for the planet, but bad for capitalist profits.

The story of solar energy development in Spain reveals something important about our current crisis and how to resolve it.

Spain has achieved a massive increase in solar capacity in recent years, outpacing the rest of the EU.

As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street.

This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history.

No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.

Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip.

It is not a threat.

It is an inalienable right of the Palestinian people.

Our demands on this shameful government remain the same: end all arms sales to Israel, impose widespread sanctions, and stop the genocide, now.

From today, our film The Invisible Doctrine is on general release.
Well, with the exception of Amazon, which has banned it. theinvisibledoctrine.com

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...
