The richest 10% control 94% of total capital-ownership assets in the United States. They determine how to use our labour and resources, what we produce, and how our surplus is deployed. They determine the direction of our civilization. It is the antithesis of democracy.

The winter storm has turned Gaza into an open tragedy:
Families are being pulled from beneath collapsed homes, children shiver to their last breath, & plastic tents offer no protection from rain or cold.
Thousands of people are living in mud and contaminated water, as entire camps become unlivable.
