Father, husband, climate change worrier, support Ukraine, sick of all the unnecessary war, violence and suffering, wishing people would be nicer to each other, worried about inequality and hyper-rich exerting an undue influence over society.

So the USA is stealing Venezuelan oil and entrenching a new dictator in power to oppress the Venezuelan people. There needs to be a reckoning for all this.

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $20.5M in 2025 — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 958x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

It's amazing that this isn't front page news every day, and that the democrats aren't bringing this up in every conversation. MAGA and Trump don't care about Americans, they are enriching themselves over your backs! (And screwing up the world as a side effect)

Thomson Reuters, which owns news agency Reuters, has signed a $125M deal giving ICE access to its databases of personal data. USA Today has partnered with Palantir to gain "actionable intelligence" on its audiences. The media should be opponents of Trump's police state — not collaborators.

app.nos.nl/shorthand/is... The Dutch NOS news (centrist, non-partisan) wrote a Gaza reminder: Israel grabs more of Gaza (70%), builds fortifications and continues to bomb civilians in the wasteland which is Gaza. Direct violations of the ceasefire and international Law. No solution in sight.

I understand why you say that, after all, these groups disproportionately voted for Trump. But I think the media (X, FB, WP, etc) being owned by the rich, and the huge amount of money they poured into republican campaigns, was a. important factor in swinging these votes to the GOP.

Day 1619 of Ukraine being forced to fight for its freedom, its very existence. Of course the war had been going on for 12 years and, having been a very small part of EuroMaidan, I don't forget that. But only since 2022 has the threat become existential. Here's Friday's daily🧵

Belatedly, but I made it for the daily thread on Day 1613 of the war started by Russia, but hopefully to be finished by Ukraine, to restore the (more) peaceful order + balance. A succession of nights with little sleep kept me out of action for a few hours, but ready to go now!

Another example of the danger of inequality. In a true democracy all voices should count equally. However, this graph shows very clearly that selfish billionaire media tycoons have an oversized influence. Meanwhile the next heatwave has arrived. What world are we leaving for our children?

Day 1609 of the war in Ukraine - and Russia. The aggressor is increasingly getting a taste of its own medicine. It's regrettable Ukraine's allies didn't have the will to force Putin to step back earlier, so the only way is for Russia itself to suffer. Here's the daily thread:

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.
