Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power.
It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.
I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.
On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.
Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!
I helped write a book! Chapter 13 is the one I wrote. Lot of tremendous work here from the leading experts in vNOTES!

154 million lives saved in the past 50 years and we have a head of HHS that wants to rid the world of vaccines.

Making America Sicker Again!
It’s time to talk about the House moving to impeach RFK Jr. His unilateral actions to restrict COVID vaccine access and also cancel the contract with Moderna for mRNA flu vaccines places the health of this country in jeopardy. He’s unfit to be HHS secretary.

Millions of Americans rely daily on USPS's affordable rates and universal service.
We must protect our public Postal Service.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc.
It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.
Trump's DOJ has granted Boeing a non-prosecution agreement over the 737 MAX crashes, despite the company's repeated attempts to deceive regulators.
Boeing donated $1M to Trump's inauguration and has paid AG Pam Bondi's former lobbying firm at least $480K.
Follow the money.
Yuuuuuup…
Do they not get that these funds are all that is propping up some rural hospitals? There will be huge areas of rural America with no maternity services if these cuts go through. I mean, more even than now.
A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.
