Did you know the smallest group of the world's population (Billionaires) have the largest carbon footprint and are accelerating climate change? @inequality.org @patrioticmillionaires.org @ips-dc.org

This is not how democracy works. Democracy is pooling resources and deciding together, not letting billionaires pick their favorite causes. Watch full video here: youtu.be/UWXyUbq34hQ?...

The super wealthy are building dynasties while raising the cost of housing for everyone else... they aren't even going to live there.

Senators Sanders and Warren have both proposed wealth taxes this spring. I've taken a look at them both and here's a breakdown for you @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social @inequality.org @ips-dc.org @patrioticmillionaires.org www.counterpunch.org/2026/04/07/t...

@inequality.org’s @millsrodrigo.bsky.social interviews Austin Frerick, author of the new book “Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry,” which examines how corporate monopolies have resulted in higher prices and lower quality food for consumers.

The wealthy are constantly bending the rules of democracy in their favor.

Don't let the Billionaire Class steal our Democracy! @inequality.org @patrioticmillionaires.org

Check out my conversation with Bill Miller from Global Connections Television to learn how the Billionaire Burn is felt in our healthcare, environment, housing, and democracy. @ips-dc.org @patrioticmillionaires.org @inequality.org www.globalconnectionstelevision.com/video-galler...

We must let lawmakers know—our democracy needs on a strong public Postal Service.

Housing is a human right, but the billionaire class is keeping it a privilege supercharging the housing crisis @ips-dc.org @patrioticmillionaires.org

Mark your calendars! Looking forward to being in Andover @purplecouch.bsky.social

The elite of Washington State descended on the state capitol to oppose the proposed 1% annual tax on multi-millionaire assets. How dare they try to raise over $3 billion annually to help working families when we could be adding another helicopter-landing-pad-to our super yachts?!

It's gonna be a big one. As of today, it's still 12 days until the next No Kings Day on Saturday March 28, but organizers say there are already nearly 3000 separate protests planned in the US:

NEW: As pet ownership grows more popular, billionaires and private equity firms are buying up an unprecedented share of pet services and hospitals. Today, the cost of veterinary care is 60% higher than a decade ago. IPS scholar @chuck77.bsky.social in @thenation.com:

NEW: Billionaire Larry Ellison pledged to give away at least half of his wealth. Instead, he's mixing philanthropy with making even more money. "There’s a blurring of the lines in these people’s imaginations between for-profit and nonprofit," says IPS scholar @chuck77.bsky.social in @nytimes.com:

NEW: Hundreds of rich people have signed the Giving Pledge to donate half of their wealth. 15 years on, their lack of progress shows our critical need to fix philanthropy — and tax them more. REPORT by @chuck77.bsky.social, @bdevaan.bsky.social, @helenofips.bsky.social and @dpetegorsky.bsky.social:

A new @ips-dc.org analysis rates the billionaire Giving Pledge that debuted in 2010 as “unfulfilled, unfulfillable, and not our ticket to a fairer, better future.” @hcuccinello.bsky.social @cnbc.com @chuck77.bsky.social

While billionaires guard fortunes, “Most households will pass on little or no inheritance to the next generation,” says IPS @inequality.org scholar @chuck77.bsky.social. The less we let the wealthy dodge taxes on inherited wealth, the more we can meet all of our needs, no matter what we inherit.

On April 11, 2024, Trump asked the CEOs and leaders of the oil and gas industries to raise $1 billion for his campaign and he would do their bidding. This is what “oil-garchy” looks like. IPS scholar @chuck77.bsky.social shares new findings from @climatecriminals.bsky.social:
