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.

Kash Patel, Director of the FBI, finishes with a message to Charlie Kirk: ‘see you in Valhalla’.
The United States is so deep in a sort of violent cult, it’s difficult to see if they can get out.

It’s time to use the f-word. Trumpism is fascism.
The essence of fascism is in place. See the list 👇
All that’s needed to complete the fascist ascent are;
- territorial aggression
- the concentration of power in one individual or tight cabal.
And these are emerging by the day

Most key elements of fascism are evident in Trumpism;
- exploiting, not solving, grievances
- glorifying the leader
- targeting rivals and minorities as enemies
- attacking free media
- promoting division, racism, misogyny
- subverting the judiciary and the rule of law, domestic and international

It seems to me that most world leaders have not got a clue how to build peace. And for those who think we need to learn history so we do not make the mistakes of the past, well, I think that theory is blown to bits.

It is worrying that there are very few people on the media questioning the idea that war is inevitable. No one seems to think about deescalation.
