The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks.

The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Putin invaded a sovereign nation; targeted civilians & civilian infrastructure; kidnapped children. May he get everything in life that he deserves.
The truth value of Putin’s allegation Ukraine targeted his house with a drone was never much above zero.

It appears now to be zero.

They lie, then they lie again.

I knew Trump was giving tax handouts to giant corporations, but I wanted to find out just how big ONE tax handout really was.

It's shocking.
SHOCKING Trump tax handout.

What a disgrace. Volodymyr Zelensky is a heroic defender of democracy. The Trump regime is a poisonous blight on our nation’s history.
Zelensky lands in Miami. Not a single US official is on hand to greet him. In the language of diplomacy this send an unequivocal message of coldness and hostility. Compare it with the lavish pomp and red carpet shown to Putin when he landed in Alaska a few weeks ago.

"I had a good and very productive phone call with Führer Hitler of Germany prior to my meeting with Charles de Gaulle of France today. Führer Hitler was very clear about which parts of France not currently under Nazi control he wants. Thank you for your attention to this matter! Winston Churchill."

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

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.

At the start of 2025, some people questioned whether the resistance was dead. They doubted that Trump’s authoritarian agenda would be met with defiance and backlash.

Trump is at his lowest point of popularity. His sycophants and enablers are losing election after election. Some of his staunchest supporters are abandoning ship. The momentum is on our side and the regime knows it.

Pitch in if you can to power the nationwide organizing we need to win the midterms.

Just finished listening to @maddow.bsky.social new podcast Burn Order. History is repeating itself and we must all not allow that to continue.
My family and I, and the entire Japanese American community on the West Coast, were denied due process during our internment in WWII. It is a cherished, critical right for all people within the U.S.’s borders.

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.

When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
