Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

A tweet by Robert Reich reads:
“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.”

That's a huge box!
Trubble is used to travelling. He is crazy about boats and bikes.
Trains are a problem as he has to wear a muzzle on German trains so we don't travel by train.
Enjoy your trip!

If Mike Johnson is refusing to call the House back into session during the shutdown, then we’ll do the work right here the Bronx.

The New York Essential plan is being eliminated entirely next year due to the GOP healthcare cuts. People’s lives are at stake.

And that’s why we’re fighting back.

Happy Birthday, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!
As a water protector at Standing Rock in 2016, her experience protesting against DAPL led to her wanting to do something more. In 2018, at age 29, AOC became the youngest woman to be elected to Congress. She serves the New York 14th congressional district.

Absolutely awful. Just the latest example of rising Christian Nationalism in the UK, much of which can be attributed to American influence and financing.

Even better is to reduce your consumption of electronic goods by not buying it. Alternatively buy secondhand goods, or fix broken devices.

Recycling e-waste not only reduces pollution but also helps recover essential raw materials needed for a clean energy future.

Better recycling and reuse could decrease the need for new mining by up to 10% by 2050.

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.
