A must read about American oligarchs and where @TimothyWSchwab has a sideswipe at Bill Gates too. And here is a sample about oligarchs and media in America “It’s always awkward for media outlets controlled by billionaires—and there are a lot of them—to report on oligarchy.”
One reason we have so many oligarchs is b/c journalists have failed to confront extreme wealth----b/c they work in newsrooms controlled by billionaires. A great case study, and the focus of my newest investigation, is Bloomberg. LINK: timschwab.substack.com/p/its-time-to-…

Writes @TimothyWSchwab: "We are today beholden to non-transparent, non-accountable media companies, named after oligarchs, to provide us with some of the most fundamental information we need to understand the power of oligarchy."

WNYC also hosts @onthemedia, one of the most popular/mainstream media criticism shows, which, as far as I can tell, has never breathed a word about the Gates Foundation's well documented & controversial financial influence over the media. @MicahLoewinger cjr.org/criticism/gate…
Noticed that WNYC's Brian Lehrer show segments also being funded by Gates: "...Support of WNYC’s coverage of economic mobility and opportunity is provided in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation." wnyc.org/story/no-degre…
he-said/she-said. This piece ends w/ fallacy: Gates either gives money to philanthropy (good) or buys super yachts (bad). What about abolishing billionaires? Wish @undarkmag had explored full spectrum of debate/criticism surrounding Gates/oligarchy undark.org/2025/07/02/gat…
Yes! The villain in this children's story--'GainsMan'--both looks and sounds like Bill Gates. Maybe we need the simplicity of a children's book to tell this very simple story. Rich dudes taking power over the global poor is not humanitarianism or philanthropy. It's colonialism
This week, Westland has published our book on food colonialism and ideas of resistance to it
Getting notifications that people are finding their way to this 2023 interview I did with the Association of Health Care Journalists. In the talk I explain why so many journalists have become stenographers for Bill Gates. Money is a big reason. But not the only reason.
How has the @BillGates hero narrative steered us wrong? Join me Friday for a chat with investigative reporter @TimothyWSchwab about how the tech billionaire aids #BigPharma and wields influence over public health and journalism. @AHCJ healthjournalism.org/event/reckonin…

Zohran Mamdani’s victory is a spark of hope for so many of us around the world. At 33, he made history - because people believed, organised, and refused to back down. He stood up to the political and media establishment, the billionaires, and AIPAC’s machine - and won. He’s…
Mamdani’s victory in the most Jewish city in America — despite a relentless smear campaign by militant Zionists — is a clear referendum on the lie that criticizing Israel equals antisemitism. New Yorkers rejected the antisemitic notion that opposing genocide is the same as…
The growing resistance to oligarchy is inspiring, but it won't work if we can't talk about the original tech-bro oligarch, Bill Gates. It's time to build power. Registration for the webinar today! LINK: timschwab.substack.com/publish/post/1…
My newest Substack just posted. It's an invitation--please register today for this important event! If we want to confront oligarchy, we have to take on the oligarch class's most formidable member, Bill Gates. And we have to build political power. LINK: timschwab.substack.com/p/want-to-figh…

So honored to be a part of this amazing event with these brilliant, courageous speakers. If you're alarmed by Elon and the growing specter of oligarchy, you have to understand the tech-bro-oligarch origin story. You have to confront Bill Gates. tinyurl.com/GatesPowerGrab…
In case you missed it, my newest investigation examines the public/taxpayer costs of billionaire philanthropy. We have been richly subsidizing the philanthropic work of the world's richest tycoons for years. Another world is possible. Read on! timschwab.substack.com/p/the-taxpayer…
