The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.
The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.
This image is a political illustration from the German newspaper Die Zeit depicting a confrontation between a Pope and a US President.
The artwork is titled "Pope Leo XIV" and portrays a tension-filled scene between the two figures.
Fossil Fuels Are Not The Future….
We are living in a timeline so dumb it's exhausting.

We can all learn a lot from the (many young!) people of Hungary who have protested peacefully for years and who turned out in high numbers to vote their candidate and his party into power tonight!
And this despite the fact that Orbán had backing from BOTH Russia and the USA!
Well done, Hungary!! ✨
Here's hoping Orban, Pooty & Chump ALL lose!!! 👎 👎 👎

It would be bizarre if the US went to Islamabad insisting on zero enrichment, knowing Tehran would never accept it. Indeed, if the nuclear issue were truly the focus, it could never be agreed upon in a single round of talks, given its technical complexities.
Both Donald Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania Trump’s legal immigration papers: How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities despite her blatant lie under oath about her college degrees?
Two months before Calvin Alexander’s parole hearing date, he was told he was no longer eligible.
Why? An algorithm had deemed the nearly blind 70-year-old, who uses a wheelchair, a “moderate risk,” barring him from speaking to the parole board.

So to be clear, we started a completely illegal and unjust war, committed a bunch of war crimes, threatened genocide, killed hundreds of children, destroyed tens of thousands of innocent lives, and lost.
Are we great again yet?
"It’s very paradoxical. I think that Netanyahu himself risks losing his main asset in the Israeli public discourse: the fear of Iran, the Iranian threat, the existential threat of Iran. If it does not exist, Israel will have to look for a new enemy."
Listen now.

I completely agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sentence I never thought I would ever write.
Well, a ton of them voted for him...
Across Israeli prisons, the number of Palestinian detainees classified as “security prisoners” has surged from roughly 3,500 before October 7 to around 10,000 today — about half of whom are held without charge, as “unlawful combatants” or in administrative detention.

People genuinely have no idea how much a billion dollars is. Seriously, it's not just "I'm rich."
Let's say you had a rich uncle who gave you a thousand dollars per day.
TWO THOUSAND YEARS LATER YOU STILL WOULDN'T BE A BILLIONAIRE.
Yes, every billionaire is a bad person. Every single one.
Tweet from MB Ghalibaf: After defeating Iran 37 times in a row, this brilliant no-strategy war they started has now been downgraded from "regime change" to "Hey! Can anyone find our pilots? Please? Wow. What incredible progress. Absolute geniuses.

No wonder the AI boom is encountering fierce grassroots resistance across the US from across the political spectrum—left to right, rural, urban, and suburban.

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.
Tweet from the Iranian embassy in the UK: Thank you for your attention to this matter! Meme of old guy with a forced smile. Text: Trump: Iran has no Navy, no Air Force, and no missiles left" Iran: Hit an F-15, A-10, Black Hawk & F-16CJ in under 24 hours.

Let's be clear at the outset: If Iran holds a US pilot, that person is a prisoner of war, not a "hostage." The terminology matters and we should insist that the media use the correct language for the situation.
Actually seeing this entire administration implode and everyone’s careers disintegrate because they’re kowtowing to a senile, disgusting 80 year old is at least gratifying, even though it’s costing America everything
The Generals are gone.
The AG is gone.
We started a war.
Gas is up.
Healthcare is up.
Prescriptions are up.
The rich are richer.
The poor are poorer.
Protesters have been killed.
Service members have been killed.
The law is a suggestion.
The constitution is a memory.
We. Are. Not. Okay.
Israeli leaders are condemning settler attacks. It’s a smokescreen
The recent wave of denunciations from government ministers, army chiefs, and right-wing pundits aims to obscure the fact that settler violence is state policy
