Elected officials who inform their constituents about federal and constitutional law are doing their jobs. That includes when they remind service members that they could be prosecuted for following unlawful orders because it's a violation of the Constitution. That is the law.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
In 1983, 50 companies controlled 90% of the U.S. media market. That number is now down to 5.

@bsky.app you gotta give us more than ❤️ as a response option. LOVE is often not what’s trying to be expressed, it could be sadness, anger, frustration, laughter, or just wanting to help spread awareness w/o condoning something.

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs.

We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives.
