  6. There could be fewer signs more clear that the political winds in America have shifted against our #AmericanOligarchs and their #BillionairesInsurgency than Mitt "The Weathervane" Romney changing his tune like this. A man who for thirty years has demonstrated he has NO PRINCIPLES WHATSOEVER, save whatever he assesses will best get Mitt Romney ahead. #BillionairesAreAPolicyFailure #YeetTheRich

  7. Whether it's #Antifa, #Anarchists, #Anonymous (the real one, not Q-Anon crappo), #Socialists, #Environmentalists, etc. -- seems to me that we're all fighting for the same thing! Getting rid of #Oligarchy / #Capitalism, ruling ourselves, and building a #sustainable life in harmony with Mother Earth and making adjustments for #ClimateChange (and preventing the problem from getting worse). And what is wrong with that? IMHO, nothing! Well, unless you're a billionaire / CEO / Oligarch!

  8. #Greed and the #GildedAge: Power, Wealth, and Corruption in 19th-Century America

    Examining Wealth, Corruption, and Social Change in the Gilded Age

    November 16, 2021

    Excerpt: "From the 1870s to the 1890s, the United States entered a period of rapid #industrialization. There was a shift from an agrarian economy to an industrial economy and many Americans began to move to urban areas. #MarkTwain called this period the Gilded Age and criticized the era as a time of #greed and #PoliticalCorruption.

    Industrialization greatly increased the need for workers in the nation’s factories. The availability of factory jobs that required little or no skills was one of the reasons for a dramatic increase in immigration to the United States. Although working conditions in most factories were poor and unsafe, there was a steady stream of immigrant workers to fill the positions.

    While there were millions of factory workers, the #wealthy #entrepreneurs who owned the factories represented a tiny fraction of Americans. The few wealthy controlled most of the wealth in the United States during this time.

    During the Gilded Age, the economic disparities between the workers and big business owners grew exponentially. Workers continued to endure low wages and dangerous working conditions in order to make a living. #BigBusiness owners, however, enjoyed #lavish lifestyles.

    he industrialization of the United States brought economic growth to the country like never before. The economy moved from agrarian to industrial; consumer goods were mass-produced and readily available. However, manufacturing was not the only industry that experienced growth. The railroad industry grew as the need to transport people and goods increased.

    The rapid growth of the manufacturing industry created a great need for unskilled workers. This demand caused migration as farm workers moved from rural areas of the United States to find jobs in America’s rapidly growing cities. The increase in jobs was also a draw for people in foreign countries. Many people immigrated to the United States in search of work and the opportunity to live the American dream.

    While industrialization led to an increase in jobs, it also led to poor working conditions for this new industrial labor force. Workers were forced to work in dangerous conditions surrounded by heavy machinery. Unskilled laborers required little training and completed routine tasks. They also worked long hours and were paid low wages.

    Big business owners benefitted tremendously from the economic changes in the United States. Some historians have said that these entrepreneurs were robber barons because they got rich through ruthless means. Others have called them captains of industry because they were greatly responsible for increasing productivity, expanding markets, providing jobs, and increasing the nation’s wealth."

  9. Rashida Tlaib and Bernie Sanders introduce the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act

    The new bill calls for higher taxes on companies that pay their executives more than 50 times what their workers make

    By Lee DeVito September 15, 2025

    "#CEOPay is out of control, with the possibility of #Tesla executive #ElonMusk becoming the world’s first #trillionaire. Meanwhile, prospects for average workers have dimmed with decades of stagnated wages and a majority of Americans living paycheck to paycheck.

    "On Monday, U.S. Rep. #RashidaTlaib of Detroit and U.S. Senator #BernieSanders of Vermont introduced the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act to rein in what they call the '#ObsceneSalaries of America’s top executives.'

    "House Resolution H.R. 5298 proposes taxing corporations at a higher rate if they pay their executives more than 50 times what their workers earn. If passed, Tesla would be forced to pay up to $100 billion more in taxes over the next decade if Musk’s massive pay package is approved.

    " 'Working people are sick and tired of #CorporateGreed. CEOs are now making 290 times more than their average worker,' Tlaib said in a statement. 'It’s disgraceful that corporations continue to rake in record profits by exploiting the labor of their workers. Every worker deserves a living wage and human dignity on the job. I’m proud to re-introduce the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act with Senator Bernie Sanders to address the massive income and wealth inequality in our nation. It’s time to make the rich pay their fair share.'

    "The Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act was first introduced by Sen. Sanders in 2019, with different versions re-introduced since then.

    "Meanwhile, the wealth of the top 1% has continued to explode, hitting a record-setting $44 trillion in 2024."

  10. Nepal gets first female PM after deadly unrest

    by Sanjaya Dhakal, BBC Nepali, Kathmandu and Jaroslav Lukiv, London

    "Nepal's former Supreme Court chief justice #SushilaKarki has become the country's interim prime minister after deadly #AntiCorruption protests ousted the government.

    "The 73-year-old was sworn in during a brief ceremony, becoming the first woman to lead the impoverished Himalayan nation after a deal was reached with protest leaders.
    More than 50 people were killed in clashes with riot police during this week's mass protests sparked by a ban on social media platforms.

    "The ban was lifted on Monday - but by then protests had swelled into a mass movement. Angry crowds set fire to parliament and government buildings in the capital Kathmandu on Tuesday, forcing Prime Minister #KPSharmaOli to resign.

    "Earlier on Friday, President Ram Chandra Poudel's press adviser had confirmed to the BBC that Karki would take the oath of office that evening.

    "The agreement between the president and the protest leaders was reached after days of consultations. Legal experts were also involved.

    "Parliament was dissolved late on Friday and it was announced that general elections would be held on 5 March next year.

    "Karki is expected to appoint ministers to her cabinet within a few days.

    "She is widely regarded as having a clean image, and her leadership of the interim government is being supported by student leaders from the so-called #GenZMovement."

  11. What #Authoritarians May Learn About #Censorship From #Nepal’s #Protests

    by Charlie Campbell
    Updated: Sep 10, 2025 10:07 AM ET

    Excerpt: "An eerie calm returned to Nepal on Wednesday after an army-enforced curfew paused two days of anti-government protests that had convulsed the capital Kathmandu and other cities, with predominantly young demonstrators burning tires, ransacking ministries, and invading politicians’ homes so that the occupants had to be airlifted to safety.

    "At least 22 people lost their lives and hundreds more were injured by security forces in the carnage, which was ostensibly sparked by state attempts to block access to social media but in truth reflect an explosion of long bottled-up rage against political corruption and widespread inequality in the Himalayan nation of 30 million.

    "The banning of 26 social-media platforms including Facebook, YouTube, and X was officially due to the companies’ failure to register and submit to government oversight, though protesters attributed the move as an attempt to block the crescendo of online complaints from young people furious at the #LuxuriousLifestyles enjoyed by children of the #PoliticalElite, so-called '#NepoKids.'

    "The disparity between what ordinary Nepalis experience and what they saw flaunted online prompted calls last week for #MassProtests — calls which only mushroomed following the hamfisted social-media ban. Even after that prohibition was lifted on Tuesday, and the resignations of Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli and Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, the unrest escalated.

    " 'The government in Nepal was trying to use those new social-media regulations to prevent the very thing that happened,;' says Michael Kugelman, a D.C.-based South Asia analyst. 'So it completely backfired.'

    "The power of social media to foment popular protest is no stranger to Asia, where the internet has been a key driver of popular uprisings that toppled governments in Sri Lanka in 2022 and Bangladesh in 2024, and continue to roil Indonesia today. But it’s a phenomenon that first came to light in the 2010 Arab Spring, when a series of anti-government protests swept the Middle East and North Africa that were predominately organized online.

    "Most notably, and in a clear augury of Nepal today, efforts during the #ArabSpring to block social-media access simply cut a head of the hydra: highlighting the state’s blatant disregard for freedom of speech and assembly, vindicating the protesters’ complaints, and widening sympathy for their demands.

    "Little wonder authoritarian states were spurred by the Arab Spring into enacting draconian internet controls. Across Nepal’s northern frontier, #China’s Great Firewall became the poster child for tightly regulated online space. Not only does the #GreatFirewall block undesirable external information but also weeds out and proscribes politically sensitive domestic content."

  12. 🤣 (satire)

    Seriously, ma sha' Allah.

    The REAL revolution that needs to happen in America is atop (or atop the dead body of) the Democratic Party. Americans don't want #Trumpublicans lite like Cuomo. They want a party of humanity and compassion for THEM, that will put our #AmericanOligarchs back in their place.

  14. The Killer #CEOs of #BigOil

    Their fortunes are the result of poisoning you, me, our children and grandchildren, every other living thing on Earth, and destroying the temperature stability of our atmosphere. This week it's horrifying to look out and see the world they are creating for the rest of us.

    by #ThomHartmann, Jan 11, 2025

    "#PublicCitizen would like you to know that there are killers among us.

    "They wear $2,000 suits and travel in #PrivateJets, unbothered by the TSA or the teeming masses. Their children attend the finest universities in the world, and they vacation on private islands and yachts. Many 'earn' more in a day than most Americans take home in a year; their positions ensure their heirs will never have to work a day in their lives.

    "Their fortunes are the result of poisoning you, me, our children and grandchildren, every other living thing on Earth, and destroying the temperature stability of our atmosphere. This week they’re arguably responsible, in part, for billions of dollars in losses, numerous deaths, and thousands of shattered lives in Southern California."

  15. '#InsatiableGreed': Richest 1% Have Already Burned Through Their #CarbonLimit for 2025

    "The #SuperRich continue to squander humanity's chances with their lavish lifestyles, polluting stock portfolios and pernicious political influence. This is theft—pure and simple."

    Jake Johnson, Jan 10, 2025

    "An #Oxfam analysis published Friday shows that the richest 1% of the global population has already blown through its global carbon budget for 2025—just 10 days into the New Year. The figures, which arrive amid catastrophic fires in Los Angeles that may turn out to be the costliest in U.S. history, highlight the disproportionate role of the #UltraWealthy in fueling a #ClimateEmergency that is causing devastation around the world.

    "Oxfam calculates that in order to keep critical climate goals in reach, each person on Earth must have a CO2 footprint of roughly 2.1 tons per year or less. On average, each person in the global 1% is burning through 76 tons of planet-warning carbon dioxide annually—or 0.209 per day—meaning it took them just over a week to reach their CO2 limit for the year.

    "By contrast, the average person in the poorest 50% of humanity has an annual carbon footprint of 0.7 tons per year—well within the 2.1-ton budget compatible with a livable future.

    "'The future of our planet is hanging by a thread,' Nafkote Dabi, Oxfam International's climate change policy lead, said in a statement Friday. 'The margin for action is razor-thin, yet the super-rich continue to squander humanity's chances with their lavish lifestyles, polluting stock portfolios and pernicious political influence.'

    "'This is theft—pure and simple―a tiny few robbing billions of people of their future to feed their insatiable greed,' Dabi added.

    "'Rich polluters must be made to pay for the havoc they're wreaking on our planet.'

    "Oxfam's new analysis came as the @CopernicusEU Climate Change Service confirmed that 2024 was the hottest year on record and 'the first calendar year that the average global temperature exceeded 1.5°C above its #PreIndustrial level.'

    "'All of the internationally produced global temperature datasets show that 2024 was the hottest year since records began in 1850,' Copernicus director Carlo Buontempo said in a statement. 'Humanity is in charge of its own destiny, but how we respond to the climate challenge should be based on evidence. The future is in our hands—swift and decisive action can still alter the trajectory of our future climate.'

    "Oxfam called on governments to move urgently to curb the emissions of the rich, including by implementing #WealthTaxes, banning #PrivateJets and #Superyachts, and imposing strict new regulations on #polluting companies.

    "'Governments need to stop pandering to the richest,' Dabi said Friday. 'Rich polluters must be made to pay for the havoc they're wreaking on our planet. Tax them, curb their emissions, and ban their excessive indulgences—private jets, superyachts, and the like. Leaders who fail to act are effectively choosing complicity in a crisis that threatens the lives of billions.'"
