The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.
These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.
If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

2 months ago: "since Trump's been in office the economy is spiraling towards recession and our allies hate us. Americans are less safe abroad, and we've seen the most incompetent blunders in modern American history. Congress needs to impeach and remove him from office" How is that working out?

Now, about the video: On Monday, federal agents smashed the window of a car in Massachusetts and arrested Juan Francisco Méndez, a Guatemalan immigrant with no criminal record.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

As the 14th Amendment clearly states: “Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Our government needs to remember that.

I fear we are reaching ‘outrage overload’ - maybe that is the goal? I’m just exhausted (and I don’t live in the US!).

This is a thought provoking read written in conversational style.
The underlying story is the frustration of an ER doctor during the war against covid, the writer weaves in other wars (personal, communal, national and global).
Not a call to arms. More a call to thought.
I’d recommend this book.

It is easy to confuse socialism with communism. Socialism encompasses a broader spectrum of political beliefs and embraces equal rights for all genders, races, ages and religions.
Socialism can comfortably exist alongside capitalism.
It’s maintaining the balance that makes a country truly great.

The N.I.H. — the largest public funder of biomedical and behavioral research in the world has lost a quarter of its staff. All just sacked? No! There have been a selected number of buyouts. I’m guessing the guy who saw potential in Telsla has seen a few ideas worth stealing at fire-sale prices.

This is a native Australian sulphur-crested cockatoo. He comes to my office window in the late afternoon to ask for seed.

Stay together. Stay calm. Stay safe.
The world knows any anarchy will be orchestrated (faked) - any excuse to impose martial law is the administration’s ultimate goal.
