Combined wealth of 5 richest billionaires...

In 2020: $405 billion

Today: $869 billion

They got $14 million richer…every single hour.

Meanwhile, 60% of the global population has become poorer since 2020.

Inequality is eating the world alive.

This is Texas Supreme Court Justice John Devine—a man tasked w/ impartially upholding the law—bragging about breaking the law to harass women at abortion clinics.

He’s one of the justices who just blocked Kate Cox from getting a *legal* abortion.

He’s up for reelection in 2024.

The Supreme Court will soon hear what could be the most important tax case in decades.

Moore v. US could permanently shield billionaires from a wealth tax.

This is why billionaires give luxury gifts to Supreme Court justices. For this exact moment.

Never forget that the 25 richest people in America paid a true tax rate of just 3.4% between 2014 and 2018 on over $400 billion in wealth gains. The rest of America paid an average of 13.3% in 2018.

School vouchers are a scam to divert precious tax $$ away from your neighborhood school and into private schools that are unaccountable to taxpayers & are not required to serve ALL students. #TxLege

[Representative Mihaela E. Pleșa @plesafortexas]

Vouchers are a scam. Like any scam, they may sound good at first, but if you dig a little deeper, you realize they're ripping you off. Vouchers subsidize private education for the wealthy while pillaging money from the neighborhood schools that serve the vast majority of TX kids.

[Texas AFT @TexasAFT]

Poll after poll shows that the more Texans know about taxpayer-funded vouchers, the less they like them.

So who is exactly is this school voucher push for? A web of dark-money donors lobbying #TxLege. We dig deeper with help from @cjtackett ⤵️

On this day in 1963, 350 Black Selma residents attempting to register to vote faced officials using violence, stalling, and intimidation to deny them that right. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. https://t.co/guASS5G5RH

There were 3,362 instances of book bans in public schools & libraries during the past school year — a 33% increase.

Why the spike? Because nothing scares conservatives more than a multi-racial generation of young people who ask critical questions and speak truth to power.

Creating a new school police department and then buying an entire fleet of Teslas for it is some all-time Westlake shit

Republicans passed a ~$2 trillion tax cut for the rich and added over $7 trillion to the national debt under Trump.

And we're supposed to believe the GOP's cries over "fiscal responsibility"?

Hello?

[Gene Wu @GeneforTexas]

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. (And again, and again)

Vouchers are a scam to steal public money to benefit the wealthy.

I will NOT support any version of the bill to create this scam.

Period. The end. Full stop.

On this day in 1953, a Birmingham police commissioner banned an interracial All-Star baseball game organized by Jackie Robinson since it was a "mixed athletic event." To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. https://t.co/ghkK28eIRn

Why is it that when progressive policies that help the bottom 90 percent are proposed, the question always seems to be, "How will you pay for it?"

But when the top 1 percent ask for bailouts, tax cuts, and subsidies, the question always seems to be, "How much do you need?"

The Supreme Court is back in session this week, hearing a handful of incredibly important cases.

But there’s one in particular that’s flown under the radar and could have devastating consequences:
