If we can find a way out of oligarchy, the first priority should be taxing billionaires at Eisenhower rates. Decades of US tax policy insufficiently taxing the wealthiest Americans has become a threat to democracy worldwide. Northern CA.

Billionaires' wealth and income need to be taxed to the extent they are no longer threats so society and democracy.

EMERGENCY PROTEST AGAINST ICE. Protestors gathered at Foley Square on Friday after an ICE agent shot Bronx man Oscar Belgal last night. Hundreds of New Yorkers took to the streets demanding ICE get out of NYC and out of our communities everywhere. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.

18% of voters pick 52 senators. Democrats won 7 of the last 9 presidential popular votes yet hold just 3 SCOTUS seats. Republicans have a tilted House map and a huge cash advantage, and they STILL want to suppress votes. Imagine having the casino rigged and being afraid to deal the cards.

Russian strikes killed over 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. Moreover, it has stepped up its hybrid attacks against Europe, both EU Member States and NATO Allies. Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues to wage war.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.
