When inequality and corruption raged in the Gilded Age, we took action: -Antitrust was used to break up monopolies -Taxes were passed to stop wealth hoarding -Corporations were forbidden from directly giving money to politicians and candidates. We can do it all again.

Billie Eilish can't run for president. She is under 35. Arnold Schwarzenegger can't run for president. He was born in Austria. Donald Trump can't run for president. He engaged in and supported an insurrection. It's in the Constitution, folks.

Die AfD hat heute im Bundestag die Unruhen in 🇫🇷missbraucht für Hetze gegen Menschen mit Einwanderungsbiographie in 🇩🇪. Gewalt ist inakzeptabel. Wir stehen an der Seite der französischen Polizei. Aber Hetze und Spaltung vergiften unser Land. Die AfD ist eine Gefahr für den inneren Frieden.

We're in the Second Gilded Age just like the first — when America's wealth was in the hands of a few, conspicuous consumption existed alongside homelessness and hunger, monopolies destroyed competition, big money corrupted politics, unions were busted, and wages were suppressed.

Russia today, like the Soviet Union before it, is a successor of the Russian Empire. An enduring characteristic of Russian self-conception is a view of Russia as a profoundly benevolent power bringing development and modernity to the places it colonizes. 🧵
