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.

Matthew Shepard was twenty-one years old. He was gentle and kind. On this night in 1998, he lay tied to a wooden fence for eighteen hours under the bright Wyoming stars. Not for any crime he committed. He lay there, alone and cold, simply for existing as a gay man.

Oklahoma Supreme Court Rules Gender Markers Can Never Be Changed, Even For Cis People With Clerical Errors
The court declared that Oklahoma law has never allowed changes to gender markers for any reason, expanding the state’s anti-trans restrictions to cis people in a humorous twist.
