While working people get crushed by the cost of everything, we know where the money is—it’s stuck at the top.
We need a government with the courage to go and get some of it for all of us. A wealth tax of 1% on the 1% could raise as much as $40B a year.

A wealth tax of 1 per cent on anyone with $10M in net assets, and 3% on assets over $100M could raise more than $20B/yr. “The possible gains in terms of revenue for the federal govt are tremendous, and it would target a very [small] number of people.” www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...
Canada’s highest-paid CEOs made an average of $16.2-million in 2024, report says
Gap between their payout and average worker wages widened to a record 248 times more

Our grandparents bought homes on single incomes.
Today, you can’t even rent an apartment without two incomes.
That’s not a personal failure, it’s a system failure.

According to the new rules, if you and a few friends go to a defense contractor’s testing facility and you say “where are the missiles” and they don’t let you in then all federal funds for defense contractors will be frozen

The reason I don’t believe most journalists actually care about how awful Bari Weiss is ?
Not a single reflective piece about what did we miss
Or notation of her racism
They don’t want to save journalism they want to save the spaces that allow them to be the class of discourse

The @theatlantic.com accused Canadians of "treachery" because Global TV aired the documentary on Trump's crimes.
Fascism doesn't just happen, it is made possible because of the complicity of the media and intellectual class.
Canada isn't treacherous. We have backbone.

Moreover, anyone who does not realize that “pro-democracy” means “multiracial/intersectional democracy” at this point is a useless member of the team. That includes anyone who thinks someone like MTG can safely join with people she’s constantly targeted with political and structural violence.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

very hard to imagine trump protecting a friend, esp when it's not politically expedient. outside of his children, he's treated every relationship as disposable or transactional, in service of self-gain or self-preservation.

It was never really about cutting overall spending - that was the grift. It was destroying disliked programs, securing lucrative contracts, stealing valuable data, and further decreasing trust in government - all of which were quite successful

Unlike Trump & Witkoff, most Americans aren’t seeking “amazing business opportunities” for US billionaires in Russia. We just want them to stop indiscriminately bombing civilians & end their barbarian war of aggression with their horde of convicts, rapists & foreign mercenaries.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
