Liberal icons Lloyd Axworthy and Alan Rock get behind @jennykwan.bsky.social's essential No More Loopholes Act. We need a real 2-way arms embargo on Israel, and this opens the door for Liberal MPs to pressure the PM to get it done.

Taxing the rich will generate significant revenue, but that’s not its only purpose. By reducing inequality we can balance the scales of society.
Together, we can ensure that the wealth of this country is not hoarded by the few but redistributed to improve life for the 99%.

Canada has the wealth, resources & knowledge to swiftly address wealth inequality & end poverty.
Successive Liberal & Conservative governments have chosen to abandon people who are struggling to meet their basic needs.
Our plan will enhance federal income supports to end poverty within 5 years.

There are fountains of wealth being generated in this country. But that wealth isn't trickling down to working people. It’s all stuck at the top.
Our 'Tax Plan for the 99%' takes on the corporate hoarding class – to redistribute wealth and raise the floor for all of us.

It's a hell of a time to be teaching a seminar on "The Long Arc of Fascism." Going to start today's class with this.

Sharing more on it soon.

@sanders.senate.gov rightly explains that with the type of influence US oligarchs & billionaires have on elections, we no more are living in democracies, even if we did ever live in them before.
As John Dewey once Said, the cure to the ailments of democracy, is more democracy.

@sanders.senate.gov underscores the extreme inequality that we are living in by comparing the wealth of the ultra rich 1 % with the remaining 95 % of the world. He describes the role of tax heavens in creating this situation.

@sanders.senate.gov describes the reciprocal relationship between the US oligarchs and politics with examples of how the 5 richest US oligarchs have benefited from the heightened financialized capitalist system through navigating money in politics. Part 2/6

Bernie frames it very well in a video that I will upload in six parts.
He starts by a fabulous comparison between the recognition of the role of oligarchs in Russia and the neglect of the very same oligarchy in the West.

Fascism is officially global with the return of Trump. Elon Musk will take the new fascism born by Trump to new heights. The masks are all off from 2025, and this demands new strategies, discourses, and actions to resist them.
