Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Yup—it’s good that the folks who praised Bhattacharya’s appointment now realize he’s an anti-vaxx MAGA/MAHA activist who embraces censorship (firing people whose views he doesn’t like; banning words; ending research he considers “woke”; censoring papers) But the writing was ALWAYS on the wall 🤦‍♂️

For generations, the American empire was the most powerful force on earth, and so we tended to assume that it was the most *durable* force on earth - surely anything so powerful *must* also be *eternal*? 1/

A detail from Dore's engraving depicting the drowning of the Leviathan - a great sea-serpent thrashing in a chaotic dark sea. The image has been altered: it has been hand-tinted. The sea serpent is wearing a MAGA hat. Drowning nearby are a beleagured Uncle Sam, an Android robot, and the Statue of Liberty.

Most California voters support the state’s newly proposed billionaire tax, according to new polling. Meanwhile, rich Californians are plotting a $500M slush fund to influence the state's politics. So they can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...
