A popular state park in Texas is being converted into multimillion dollar homes and a private golf course. Vistra, the energy giant that owns the land, sold to developers and is cutting public access.
As the super-rich grab our resources, even parks aren’t out of their reach.

My dad, who died last month, was a freelance camera man. He shot interviews with many celebrities—the Dalai Lama, Monica Lewinsky, Gorbachev, Ludacris, Jane Goodall, many more. Exactly one took the time to learn his name, strike up a yearslong relationship. Deeply appreciate this https://t.co/3AG3AgZOLO

On February 3, a horrifying railroad accident took place. A Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio. You might’ve seen images of the flames, but you probably haven’t heard that unions were trying to prevent this exact accident. 🧵

They’re kidding, right.
Most landlords charge way more than 30% of most people’s income AND most will no longer allow more than 3 people to rent a 2-bed apartment unless you can prove everyone who is living in it is immediate family.
Yeah. It really is like that now. https://t.co/5EhtLB2Dhe

Prior to 1982, stock buybacks were considered stock manipulation. It was Reagan’s SEC that opened the floodgates to their abuse.
Stock buybacks don’t create more jobs. They don’t increase wages. They don’t grow the economy.
They do one thing: Make corporate execs richer.
