Remember: 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.

Alex Jones’s world is collapsing all around him right now. He’s doing all the same media-bating lashouts he always does and since the media always covers him wrong (with few exceptions), you’re bound to see a lot of Alex Jones stuff show up soon. Here’s some context. 1/24

For some scientists fighting partisan attacks, the goal is to defend their work from political interference. But in retaliating, @katherinejwu.com reports, they also run the risk of advancing the narrative that they want to fight.
