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 now been 30 days with NO humanitarian aid getting into Gaza.
No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel.
That is barbaric. The U.S. must end our complicity in these atrocities.

Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are working with Trump for one very simple reason:
They understand that Trump's policies are designed to make the wealthiest Americans even richer.
These three men have become $232 billion richer since November.
Not bad in a couple of months time!

When millions of struggling workers want to join unions, Trump's decision to neuter the NLRB is blatantly illegal. It is also a huge gift to Musk, Bezos & other billionaires who want to abolish the only federal agency that can stop their union busting.

Trump firings at labor board threaten union win at Whole Foods – and beyond
Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia voted to unionize early this week but may be stuck in limbo due to President Donald Trump firing leaders at a federal labor regulator.

This is what we mean when we talk about corporate greed: Starbucks gave its CEO $96 million for just 4 months of work. Meanwhile, Starbucks is refusing to offer a raise of more than 50 cents an hour to 12,000 union workers.
That's unacceptable. Starbucks must end their greed.

In the new Trump presidency, we have got to remain focused. We can’t panic.
No matter how many executive orders he signs or statements he issues, our goal is the same:
We must fight to create an America based on economic, social & environmental justice.

A welcome change. A more nuanced definition as proposed (DEXA, measuring of excess adipose tissue) in addition to BMI won't actually complicate our treatments, but allow more informative and trusting relationships with our patients.
An international committee of scientists has proposed changing the way obesity is defined and diagnosed. The proposal adds more ways to measure body composition and fat.
Move aside, BMI: There's a better way to define obesity, commission finds

A ceasefire-hostage deal in Gaza has been reached. This is welcome, long-overdue news. Both sides must honor it.
The killing must stop. The hostages must be released. The UN must be allowed to provide humanitarian aid. There must be accountability for war crimes by both sides.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.
But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.
