Oligarchy is not an abstract concept. The greed of the billionaire class and the control they exert over our political and economic lives are plain for everyone to see.
As Bernie Sanders campaigns against “oligarchy,” the data shows half of wealth concentration in the U.S. over the past dozen or so years has benefited just 19 families.

Let’s review:. 1) Trump files a bogus lawsuit against CBS. 2) Paramount caves; pays Trump over $16 million. 3) Trump’s FCC approves Paramount’s sale to Skydance, giving Redstone family a $2.4 billion payday. 4) Trump allies now own CBS News. This is authoritarianism in action.
Breaking News: The FCC said it would allow Paramount to merge with the Hollywood studio Skydance, clearing the biggest remaining hurdle for the deal.

Donavan McKinney has dedicated his life to fighting for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal and housing for all. @DonavanMI13 is ready to help lead the fight against the billionaire class. I'm proud to support him.

Billionaires like Bill Ackman have promised to spend tens of millions of dollars to defeat @ZohranKMamdani because they don't like the result of the democratic primary. That's not democracy, that's oligarchy in action. Stand with Zohran.

Had a great meeting with @ZohranKMamdani and am deeply impressed by the grassroots campaign he is running. The Oligarchs are prepared to undermine democracy & spend tens of millions to buy the election for his opponents. We will not allow that to happen. Stand with Zohran.
