Now that we’re in America’s Second Gilded Age
— with today’s billionaires vastly richer than Rockefeller’s wildest dreams
— we confront a similar crossroads to that of previous generations.

Is it okay, for example, for billionaires to own media properties they can use to manipulate politics and government agencies
to amplify their other business interests?

Or that five corrupt Republicans on the Supreme Court have ruled that our morbidly rich plutocrats can own judges and politicians?

Most Americans would probably say “No” to both.

⚠️ At some point, America is going to have to confront its oligarch problem.

✅ And the sooner the better, if we don’t want darkness to entirely subsume our democracy.
