The Trump administration will not provide any evidence because there is no evidence. They are guilty of carrying out extrajudicial killings.

It is important that we do not separate politics from economics.

Extreme wealth disparities undermine our democracy, increase political inequality & makes us vulnerable to the arbitrary power of oligarchs.

Here are a couple of graphs illustrating the extreme concentration of material resources 👇🏻

The case that the US carried out an extrajudicial killing and committed a war crime grows stronger.

The US 'did not even know if there were drugs on the boat' and the strike was designed to '[elicit] a response from Maduro and provoke him.'

Right now is the perfect time to trial balloon a millionaires' tax in both Texas and Florida.

The net migration of millionaires that both states received has not helped or benefited Texans or Floridians.

We need to hear from the pathetic clowns in this photo who naively thought the Epstein files were going to be released to the public.

This photo is the opposite of aging like fine wine 😂👎🏻

These unhinged tweets from Rep. Díaz-Balart make a lot more sense now that the Spanish newspaper El País revealed that he met with Álvaro Leyva to discuss the overthrow of Colombian President Gustavo Petro.

We need to ask the congressman if he supported Leyva's coup plot & attack on democracy?

Las políticas derechistas de Donald Trump hará que la economía estadounidense pierda más de 12.000 millones de dólares en el sector turístico, ampliando el déficit comercial del país.

Neoliberalism is responsible for creating (a) some of the most unequal societies in human history, (b) most of our socioeconomic problems, & (c) the conditions that gave rise to the far-right.

Neoliberalism needs to go where it belongs - into the dustbin of history.

Marco Rubio is a right-wing authoritarian who takes pride in circumventing the US Constitution and denying due process to residents who are legally entitled to it. He should resign.

Here is a quote I gave in 2021 about Jeff Bezos' ownership of The Washington Post.

It will always conspire against the public to protect and advance the interests of its owner and his social class.

Billionaire ownership of the media ≠ a free press.

Powerful quote by Prof Winters: "An oligarch is someone empowered by wealth & one thing they do politically is wealth defense.

In short, oligarchy is the politics of wealth defense.

There is nothing inherent about allowing people to vote that threatens power inequalities" & wealth disparities.

I am quoted in this article by @newsweek.com

The frenzy surrounding AI has caused the value of tech stocks to skyrocket, thus making tech billionaires even richer. This class of billionaires have even more material power, which they can convert into political power.

Musk wants to destroy all resources that are free and independent. This is why he is targeting Wikipedia. Musk's goal is to put it under his autocratic control, politicize knowledge production, and erode democratic accountability.

Right now is the perfect time to donate to Wikipedia.

Rest in peace to the greatest lead off hitter of all-time, Ricky Henderson.

His records for most stolen bases in a single-season and career will most likely never be broken.

Actualmente estoy en Berlín, Alemania, en un mercado navideño, probando por primera vez un vino caliente con un chorrito de amaretto, y tengo que decir que sí me gustó mucho!
