Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

Our nation is in grave danger. But across America I’m seeing stirrings of a giant backlash. People rising up and hitting the streets. People getting out the vote. Our fight — for democracy, the rule of law, social and economic justice, and decency — is gaining ground. I believe we will win.

Trump’s attempt to overturn any results of the 2026 election he dislikes took a sharp turn toward authoritarianism when his DOJ asked a federal court to block certification of the Senate election in Alaska if the Republican incumbent narrowly loses. Here's what you should know.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Remember: If your vote didn't matter, billionaires wouldn't be spending their fortunes trying to buy our elections. Stay calm, support good candidates, do whatever you can to get out the vote, and vote as soon as you can. Don't let Big Money win.

New SEC filings show that Mark Zuckerberg is preparing to pay California’s billionaire tax without losing control of Meta. So billionaires can afford to pay the tax? And they won't lose control of their companies or flee the state? Don’t fall for billionaires’ propaganda. Vote YES on Prop 40.

Senator Elizabeth Warren Is Correct.......

Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who's spent $100M+ against California's Prop 40, spent the weekend dining with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. These billionaires keep accidentally proving why we need a billionaire wealth tax.

AOC in Detroit: "What is at stake is what it means to be an American."

Calmed, restrained, giving counsel unruffled, he shakes off evil qualities— as the breeze, a leaf from a tree. -Thag 1:2 www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/KN/Th...

Arrest Musk. Nationalize StarLink. Dismantle and totally reform this corrupt system so this can never happen again.

Wandering for alms - weak, leaning on a staff, with trembling limbs - I fell down right there on the ground. Seeing the drawbacks of the body, my mind was then - set free. -Thig 1:17 www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/KN/Th...

There are things that Billionaires shouldn't be allowed to own. Key infrastructure that we all depend on always needs to go into the hands of the people in the end. Elon Musk owning 66% of the satellites globally is absolutely insane and is genuinely a risk to national security.

Ultra-wealthy donors are spending a staggering $430 million to fight state efforts to raise their taxes. If they can afford to drop millions of dollars to keep their taxes low, they can afford to pay slightly higher taxes. They’re making the case for taxing the rich better than anyone else could.

We don’t allow corporations to come up with new nuclear weapons or biological pathogens. If a product is potentially dangerous, it should be regulated and corporations should be held accountable for wrongdoing. Why would AI be any different?

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

This is as treasonous as it gets

Israel will not stop at just Gaza or Lebanon. Trump and ICE will not stop at just immigrants.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

He asked Russia to hack Hillary Clinton's emails in 2016. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M82W... He asked Iran to destroy American cities just yesterday in 2026. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Elm7... What will he ask our enemies to do next? We better not wait to find out! Vote blue! Impeach Donald Trump!

Offering up my home city to Iran to be destroyed... As something to justify his actions somehow... To a cheering crowd... www.thedailybeast.com/trump-offers...

The Paramount-Warner Bros. merger was officially approved this past week. Corporate concentration means more power for CEOs — and less freedom for everyone else. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.

AI is being used to... -Facilitate online scams -Process health insurance claims, leading to wrongful denials -Price gouge customers via surveillance pricing -Set higher car insurance premiums using personal data The dangers of AI aren’t in some far-off future. They're already here.

Far-right propaganda has turned our idiots against us.

Trump keeps saying that a 1929-style Great Depression is likely during the second half of his term. Quite the midterm message.

I’ve known many other defense secretaries, starting with Cap Weinberger, who served as defense secretary under Reagan. I can say without fear of contradiction that Pete Hegseth is the stupidest and least qualified of them all. He is a danger to the entire world. He must be impeached.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

Authoritarians want to consolidate state power over what information the public can know. Just a timely reminder.

This warning from David Letterman to the media from just a year ago feels sadly too relevant today. He is right: You can't appease a tyrant.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
