Since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1% — a 1% that now owns more wealth than the bottom 93%.
We can respect innovation & entrepreneurship, but we cannot respect the extraordinary greed that now exists.
We need a wealth tax.
Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela?
60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable.
Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.
Our health care system is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. 60% of people are living paycheck to paycheck.
Instead of trying to "run" Venezuela, Trump might try to do a better job running the United States.
The Trump administration froze billions of dollars in child care assistance for nearly 340,000 children.
At a time when our child care system is already struggling, this will be a disaster for working parents and their kids.
This illegal order must be rescinded.
Trump has:
- Illegally & unconstitutionally attacked Venezuela
- Provided Netanyahu with $12B in arms sales
- Given Argentina's president a $40B bailout
- Approved the sale of jets & tanks to Saudi Arabia
- Given Qatar an Air Force facility in Idaho
America first? Really?
Maduro was a dictator.
But let's not pretend Trump cares about democracy.
He cozies up to dictators all over the world when it suits him.
Trump has been clear: he wants Venezuela’s oil.
That’s not democracy. That’s imperialism.
Israel is forcing Doctors Without Borders & dozens of other humanitarian groups to end their work in Gaza. Countless innocent people rely on these services amid the ongoing crisis there.
This is yet another cruel, inhumane step from the extremist Israeli government.
🇪🇺 The Green Party is clear: we should be repairing our relationship with the EU and undoing the damage of Brexit.
That's why yesterday Green MPs voted in favour of re-joining the Customs Union - as a vital first step.
The Office for Environmental Protection @OfficeforEP has today ruled that all three public bodies involved in regulating the water industry @Defra, @Ofwat and @EnvAgency have acted illegally by not complying with sewage and environmental legislation.
No surprise there but what are any of them going to do about it? NOTHING!

@NotHoodlum Trump has spent every second since 2015, sowing the seeds of racial & political divide and discontent by pitting everyone against each other to further HIS AGENDA. He is NOT a leader, but a divider and destroyer. Whatever the hate leading to Kirk's death is all on Trump. PERIOD
@BrittanyinTexas Trump single-handedly destroyed our Constitution, our 3 branches of gov't model, vilified the MSM and divided the country beyond repair, all for his personnel agenda: steal as much as he can, stay out of prison and try to rule the world
If you’re seeing the phrase “independent healthcare” popping up and thinking it sounds reassuring, pause.
It does not mean the NHS.
It means private healthcare.
They’ve changed the word because saying “private” scares people. “Independent” sounds friendly. Neutral. Sensible. Like it’s doing its own thing and not quietly siphoning money and staff out of the NHS.
The policy is simple. Give tax breaks to people who can afford to go private so they leave the NHS system. That’s not easing pressure. That’s incentivising privatisation and paying for it with public money.
If this feels like a rebrand, that’s because it is. Same product. New label. Designed to slip past people who don’t read past the headline.
Independent doesn’t mean public.
Independent doesn’t mean universal.
Independent doesn’t mean you’re covered.
It just means some people get seen faster and you get told to wait.
