"A new report by Oxfam International reports that one tenth of the worlds wealthiest 1% are hiding more than 2.8 trillion dollars in offshore accounts to avoid paying taxes. That's more wealth than is owned by the poorest half of humanity." -Democracy Now
Something I just found interesting on a morning episode from democracy now. I have nowhere else to post this besides here.
Quote from article: "The richest 0.1 percent holds approximately 80 percent of all untaxed offshore wealth, or around $2.84 trillion. Within this tiny group, the ultra-wealthiest 0.01 percent holds roughly half ($1.77 trillion)."
This Daycare Scam Shows Exactly How They Target Us
Therese Lee - January 2, 2026. Here’s the clip on YouTube: This Daycare Scam Shows Exactly How They Target Us - Therese (YouTube) - From the description:
This video discusses government scamming, particularly affecting Black women, and suggests using a specific symbol to address these issues. We touch upon the situations in Detroit and Somali communities, emphasizing that no one is defending fraud. This system impacts families and is a critical aspect of current events and us politics.

The pattern is simple:
1. Find or exaggerate a story of abuse.
2. Turn that story into a sensational symbol.
3. Use that symbol to attack an entire program or system.

California governor race
Hello everyone, as you all may know, the state of California has an upcoming election in June for the new Governor. As a democratic socialist, I am eager to replace Gavin Newsom, but I am also equally worried about the two republicans leading the race. Can anyone interested in California politics suggest to me who I should vote for governor? Preferably a dem, because I wanna do everything to protect worker, transgender, women, and religious rights. Thank you!
