The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.
The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

“One day, when my daughter is older, I hope I will be able to tell her stories about a man everyone called Doc. About his courage, his laughter, his hope, and the way he believed so deeply in the power of #nonviolence.

Rev. Bernard Lafayette, a graduate of Nashville's American Baptist College who led the 1965 voting rights campaign in Selma, Alabama, died Thursday at age 85. LaFayette was a college roommate of the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis and returned to the college to serve as president in 1992.
“The tenant protections we have today are really a direct outcome of that work in Chicago,” said Mary Lou Finley, a professor emeritus at Antioch University Seattle who worked with LaFayette in Chicago in the 1960s.

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

Screenshot of an X post from Headquarters quoting figure skater Alysa Liu speaking about noticing faults in the U.S. government and supporting immigrant rights. The embedded image shows Liu smiling during an interview, wearing a Team USA jacket with a U.S. flag patch, seated against a backdrop with stars and red, white, and blue colors.
What a remarkable young woman.
While you're at it, support & join groups organizing against ICE activities like Detention Watch Network, SURJ, local immigrant rights organizations, or your local community defense coalition today!
If even small, ruby-red towns can refuse to provide services to potential ICE concentration camps, yours can too!
Write an email to or speak at a meeting for your local town/city council demanding that they refuse to provide utilities or permits to ICE detention centers.
Today's #PhotographyIsArt share was taken about half an hour before yesterday's image, looking inland instead of out, to sea. I can't decide if it's relaxing or a bit too infernal for comfort! Once again it's #Llandudno #LandscapeChallenge #landscapephotography
