Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% — a 1% that now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%.
We can respect innovation & entrepreneurship, but we cannot respect the extraordinary greed that now exists.
We need a wealth tax.

It has been 395 days of continuous demonstrations in Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi. Our citizens demand the resignation of Georgia's mostly illegitimate and pro-Russian government, the release of political prisoners, and the return to a pro-European course.

Is a New "New Deal" About to Wipe Out the Old Political Order?

Americans need to understand the atrocities being committed in our names. These inhumane acts bring shame on all of us. These so-called leaders have forfeited any share of the public good.

Identifying a common enemy or “folk devil” to blame for a social shift ... where have I seen that happen before?
That's the only way you could get me to go to a country show, amirite @docstar.bsky.social?
This country band is accused of performing a satanic ritual on stage and fans are furious
Some people are claiming the visuals are nothing short of a ritual in service of Lucifer himself.

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization.
He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship.
What a betrayal of American values!

‘Medicare for All’ still big. “In a survey of 1,207 likely voters [from] Nov. 14–17, 2025, ...65% of voters [supported] a Medicare for All system, described as a ‘national health insurance program... that would cover [everyone] & replace... private health insurance...’" jacobin.com/2025/11/medi...
Medicare for All Disappeared. Its Popularity Didn’t.
The demand for Medicare for All went from the center of the discourse to political exile in record time. But the policy's popularity never faded. A new poll finds strong majority support for the neglected idea among Americans across the political spectrum.
