The influenza pandemic lasted 1918-1920, followed by the Roaring Twenties gilded age, then the Great Depression in 1929, and eventually WW2.
The COVID pandemic lasted 2020-2023, followed by a current new gilded age, and with this tariff war we face a stock market plummet and potential economic collapse, all while Israel bombs Gaza, Russia bombs Ukraine, and USA bombs Yemen and threatens to bomb Iran.
I wish history didn't have to so accurately repeat itself.
If we tax billionaires out of existence we run the serious, inevitable risk of a healthy middle class & elections decided by voters, not fascist oligarchs.
Do we really want to give up 800 billionaires for universal healthcare, free college, & climate justice?
No Way.

Guy worth $340B spending $25M in WI is like the median American worker who makes $39,982 a year spending $2.94.
Meaning, a $5 cup of coffee has a greater financial impact on a working American than $25M did on a maniac billionaire.
This is how democracies collapse.
TAX BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE.
Donald Trump says the problem between Israel & Palestine is that Palestinians don't recognize the Torah when it says that all that land belongs to the Jews. And if Palestinians would simply listen to the Torah, all this could be resolved, because every other excuse is nonsense.
Sounds unhinged right? Here's the kicker. Trump didn't say that.
Chuck Schumer did.
I expected Republicans to destroy the wall separating religion & state, but sadly the Dem Senate leader is joining them.
Trump filed 60+ bogus lawsuits after 2020 election, lost every single case but 1 (on an irrelevant technicality), the lawyers who represented him were censured, arrested, & disbarred for fraudβ& now he signs an EO βPreventing Abuses of the Legal System & the Federal Court.β
Fascist gaslighting 101.
Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed.
Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza.
Historic & inspiring leadership. β€οΈβπ½
Found a 2009 NYT article on healthcare reform & saw this comment about the Dem Senator negotiating with GOP:
"Democrats have already given away all major policies for reform, and the Republicans havenβt had to budge the least. Why should they when Dems are rushing in their direction?"
That senator? Chuck Freaking Schumer.
He's always been a Republican and shame on Senate Dems for electing him leader. Oust him now and elect someone who actually fights for Democrats. This is beyond pathetic.
Chuck Schumer just cancelled his planned book tour this week over "security concerns."
Here's the thing: A man who is too cowardly to face the American people is too cowardly to lead the American people.
Schumer should continue his cancellation strategy & resign his Senate leadership & retire.
We are currently in a Constitutional crisis
Dr. Rasha Alawieh is a transplant surgeon from Lebanon, is an associate Professor at Brown University, trained in the USA, is here with a valid H1-B visa, has zero criminal record, and Trump regime arrested her anyway.
A judge ordered a block to her deportation. Trump deported her anyway.
They lied when they said "they only want to ban illegal immigration."
They do not believe in rule of law & separation of powers.
This is who Schumer trusts.
Senate Democrats are now texting me for campaign donations, boasting about voting against Trump's fascist budget.
Let me be explicitly clear: Until Senate Dems oust Schumer as Senate leader, elect an actual fighter, and stop kneeling at the altar of corporate money, it's $0 from me, ever. Period.
