I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

😂🤪

Trump’s presidency is a wealth transfer from the bottom to the top

It’s time for the world to rid itself of the authoritarian assholes

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

Republicans are straight up Russian rats

Here's how private equity killed your local mall.

Go vote, please help America get rid of the oligarchs There’s early voting happening now, I voted, it’s a civic duty, we must get big money out of politics

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

BREAKING: Child rapist applauds ad attacking raped child.

Powerful people are seldom called by their true names. An unemployed schizophrenic who murders her child is called “a monster.” A trillionaire who murders 600,000 children is called “Elon.”

All of this because Trump’s mom hated him

Trofimov is correct: the key takeaway from the FT's blockbuster story is that the Trump family and cronies were exercising direct private control over this massive Alaska project, and they were using that control to benefit the Kremlin. Plain as day. But NYT couldn't understand what was happening.

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.

Poverty is a policy decision. Concentrated wealth is a policy decision. Inequality is a policy decision. Remember this.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

We need FDR level reforms, end citizens united, tax the rich

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

GM has made major layoffs throughout 2026. But its net profits for Q3 2026 rose 151% compared to a year ago. Its CEO was paid $30M in 2025 (333x more than the median employee). And GM is planning $20 billion in stock buybacks — the largest in US automaker history. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

Don't forget that nearly all Republicans in Congress stood by and supported Trump's... -Tax cuts for the rich -Cuts to the social safety net -Iran War -ICE abductions & National Guard deployments -Inflationary tariffs -Blatant corruption His unpopularity is theirs too — and the midterms are here.

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.

Inflation eating up worker pay. Household debt and student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. 8 million people have lost healthcare the past year. 5 million people have lost food stamps — including 2 million children. And this is what he's thinking about?

Americans are rightfully fed up with the billionaire robber barons of Big Tech. Are we on the precipice of another age of reform? Here's why we might be... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-billionaire-barons-of-big-tech

Trump opened a hotline to report people who defraud the government. Meanwhile, he's pardoned 70+ fraudsters — including a nursing home owner who stole $1.3B+ from Medicare and Medicaid. Many pardons only came after their family members gave to Trump's Super PAC. Hello?

Well, Republicans can now claim to have elected the first gay president , Trump will rape anyone

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence This is what we really need to thrive — not flying cars or AI or giant data centers.

The corruption is just staggering. Dozens of dozens of pardons being given out to wealthy criminals paying millions for them. The US government is for sale to the highest bidders & DOJ operates as Trump’s consigliere. Have you had enough of this yet America? I know the world has.

VANCE: “No evidence the Trump family has enriched themselves”🤔🙃 REALITY: No evidence they’ve done anything BUT enrich themselves

Vivek Ramaswamy, Ken Paxton, Mike Collins, Roger Marshall, on and on - everywhere you look the most despicable humans financed by a handful of billionaires and elevated by Trump want you to give them even more political power to serve their interests at your expense.

🎯🎯🎯

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself has raked in up to $15.5M from his fossil fuel investments since January. The corruption is blatant — and it's a danger to the world.

🤬🤬🤬

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. When Trump touts the stock market as a sign of a good economy, remember who is benefiting the most.
