Wealth inequality is at the root of democratic decline. Tell your politicians who are playing dumb: “It’s the inequality, stupid!”. Support community, build power, demand more.

It has never been more clear that unaccountable systems of wealth are the PRIMARY destructive element of our politics, economy, and society as a whole. Unchecked abuse of all kinds. The current US admin is just the latest, purest personification of this trend.

The final proof that Trump’s USA is more of a white supremacist nation than a “christian nation” (as they claim) is that none of his supporters have been up in arms about him deporting hundreds of thousands of Christians.

The planet is literally burning, it's the super rich harming everyone. “If everyone had emitted like the bottom 50% of the global population, the world would have seen minimal additional warming since 1990,” Those doing the most harm need to be taxed to make the damage they are doing unaffordable.

Abdul El-Sayed on capitalism: “I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.”
We’ve spoken about capitalism versus socialism.

Do you want to talk about capitalism? Let’s talk about capitalism. Are you recording? Capitalism is about leveraging the laws of supply and demand to efficiently allocate capital expenditure to maximize value. When capitalism works, it’s because you have free entry and exit into markets. So if you believe in capitalism, you have to believe in government regulation to protect markets. In fact, right now, we have exactly the opposite. You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that you should be taxing billionaires their wealth. In fact, if you are a capitalist, you should believe in that. So, I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.

Why are billionaires so happy to spread climate change denial, but the average person is worried? Because the average person is used to trying to avoid living with the consequences of actions.

"The mere existence of trillionaires is a major political and economic problem, probably the defining issue of our time," writes @gabrielzucman.bsky.social. "When the power of wealth is wielded by sociopaths, the consequences are a matter of life and death."

Corporation: We made $5 billion but spent $4.9 billion to keep going, so our net taxable income is $100 million. Gov’t: That’s right. Worker: I made $50,000 but spent $45,000 to keep going, so my net taxable income is $5,000. Gov’t: That’s wrong.

Economic stress often gets redirected and expressed in racial tensions. Economic violence as racial violence. Racial violence has fed powderkegs that fuelled world wars and genocides. Economic justice isn’t a nice to have, it’s our entire future.

Don't call it "expanding" SCOTUS. And, for God's sake, don't call it "court-packing." Call it **right-sizing** the Court. (There are 13 circuits now -- not the 9 circuits there were when it was set at 9 justices 157 effing yrs ago!) Or call it *modernizing* the Court. Thank you.
