The 0.1% own 15% of all the wealth while 50% are basically broke. That is how societies die. www.wsj.com/economy/the-...
The Gap Between the Rich and the Very, Very Rich Is Getting Wider
The 0.1% are worth $28 trillion, or about 15% of the nation’s total wealth. The average wealth for a household in this group is over $200 million.

Trump invited his billionaire pals to the state dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping last night. Since he’s been back in office, the wealthiest households have gained 8,000 times more wealth per household than the bottom 50% of households. It’s clear who he governs for.
Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky describes the isolation she experienced and the realization that came from finally seeing the scope of the case: “It’s weirdly vindicating to sit here and see in the files like, ‘Oh no, I’m not crazy. This really happened and it happened to so many people.’”
I spent $80 to fill my gas tank, 5 qt of 50/50 synthetic oil at $36, $17 for an oil filter, $21 for antifreeze, & wiper fluid $12+/-. Changing my own oil, topping up fluids, & filling my tank cost me over $160, excluding the oil waste disposal fee I will pay. This is ridiculous.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
MAGA can now "legally" roll coal and it only cost them $6+/gallon diesel. Way to own the libs! 💪

I’m just glad Kushner and Witkoff weren’t around to negotiate a “win-win” for Germany and Japan in 1942.
The USPS whistleblower is a hero among heroes. Your initiative and courage are appreciated beyond words.
They just got back from 5 more weeks off, after multiple other very long vacations. They never work.

Those of us who professionally track U.S. political news will tell you that the Overton Window is moving faster and faster from normalcy and stability. Each day multiple members of the Trump regime are saying and doing things that would have been inconceivable even 24 months ago.
Jeffries and Schumer have no idea how the rage of the base will turn from Trump to them if the Dems take control and proceed to do nothing
It is just a matter of time... He will drain Lake Ontario, spray paint it with Insurrection Indigo rhino liner, then blame Biden & radical pro-Canadian Canadians when the failed coating destroys the lake ecosystem & surrounding areas. Sadly, this sounds plausible. Ugh... 😑
Since the SAVE act didn't pass, the illegal mail-in voting restrictions will be pivotal in their Election tampering & ultimately Election denial. If you are able, I highly recommend you make arrangements to early Vote in-person or Vote on Election Day. They are going to target the mail-in ballots.

Right?! I figured the continuous flyovers would usher us into unimaginable prosperity by now.

When HBO's Watchmen series premiered in 2019, the golden masks worn by the police force sparked mixed reactions. Many found the concept unrealistic, questioning the necessity & context of wearing masks... The question is no longer whether this could happen. It is what to do now that we are here.
Actually I believe the dem donor class is an absolutely asking for this. Jeffries and Schumer both have to go. They will try to take credit for any blue wave and then back to the same old playbook that landed us here in the first place. Kick them out of leadership!
