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.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

Kathy, and the Preston and Steve show, have meant so much to me and other Philadelphians over the past two decades. Only soulless corporate shills would destroy the chemistry that they’ve created. Shame on Beasley media.

Let's say there's "waste" and "fraud" in the government.

Well that’s why every department had an inspector general to find and stop it.

But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics.

None of this is about waste and fraud.

Under Trump, the NLRB is dropping its opposition to a lawsuit filed by SpaceX and Amazon claiming the board itself is unconstitutional.

Amazon, Meta, GM, Google, and Microsoft have donated millions to Trump's inauguration.

America's largest corporations and wealthiest executives are showering Trump's inaugural with cash for one simple reason: to ensure they receive another round of trickle-down tax cuts.

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

Do I have this right?

Attorneys representing Amazon and SpaceX are in court this week arguing that the National Labor Relations Board is unconstitutional.

If they get their way, two of the richest people on the planet will have gutted the enforcement of labor laws designed to protect working people.
