#CapitalismisCriminal The most obscene economic statistic is that 81 individuals, billionaires, have more wealth than 50% of the world's population combined! Elon Musk Rachel Maddow MSNBC Ali Velshi Paul Krugman Matt Gaetz blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

#CapitalismisCriminal When billionaires - furthered by Citizens United - like Elon Musk upend democracy by owning what should basically be a public utility and buying legislators and even buying votes! Rachel Maddow MSNBC Ali Velshi Paul Krugman @RepMattGaetz blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

.Sponsored by The Alternatives Project The Alternatives Project, this NORRAG Special Issue consists of 39 short papers by 72 authors from around the globe and explores the critical role of education in shaping a more just and equitable world.



#CapitalismisCriminal 80% of the world and 50% or more of the US live lives of deprivation or precariousness. That is what has given us Trump and right wing authoritarians elsewhere. Grace Blakeley blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

.Department of Government Efficiency has nothing to do with efficiency. Elon Musk and Donald J. Trump want the destruction of the US government. DOGE is the culmination of almost 50 years of neoliberalism in a government by an oligarchy of billionaires. blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

.Donald J. Trump’s political blitzkrieg – how can he get away with this?! The answer is simple – the Right is very happy! This is their dream come true! blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

.Donald J. Trump warns against gender ideology. What nonsense! How outrageous! Orwell's Big Brother lives! blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…


Plus there is no other rationale for Department of Government Efficiency. We don’t need government cuts but more spending. All our allies spend much more on government than 36% relative to GDP. blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

A new US Dept Of Education webpage: “ensur[e} all students have access to meaningful learning free of divisive ideologies and indoctrination.” Government policing of this is frightening. Grant applicants even worry about using terms like “equity.” Big Brother Lives! blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

This country is only for Trump believers! Only for Republicans? The rationale for deporting noncitizens is if they undermine “national policies.” Half the country disagrees with Trump policies. You can’t be here if you take their side?! How outrageous! blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

.Donald J. Trump just announced a trade deal with the UK. He couldn’t care less what the deal was. This is Trump’s Let’s Make a Deal Tariff Show, with 200 more deals-in-waiting to feed his narcissistic need for attention and praise. blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…

.After I sent my previous post about Donald J. Trump and his tariffs I got the following message - "We’ve added a temporary label to your account which may impact its reach." They are censoring a tiny voice like mine?! What are they afraid of?!

.Donald J. Trump is a megalomaniac who sees himself as CEO of TRUMPUSA! He fits the description of megalomaniac by the Cambridge English Dictionary to a tee. blog.umd.edu/stevenklees/20…
