One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Yikes 😳
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Groceries are more expensive, air travel is less safe, infectious diseases are raging and inflation is higher than it’s been in months, but at least Trump was able to strong-arm a sovereign nation into releasing a couple of psychopathic sex traffickers.

At least there’s that.

Dear Modern Humans,

You thought you were so much smarter than people from the Middle Ages. But you're not.

Why do you think the dark ages lasted so long? It was because of greedy, insane despots who crushed progress and dangerous thoughts.

It won't end until you rise up and overthrow them all.

Shortly after Citizens United, Jimmy Carter issued a stark warning about the role of Big Money in politics. May we remember the truths that he told us — and act to remedy them. bit.ly/4j6N1cC

He was a truth-teller. We should remember what he said — and act on it.
