Honestly, it needs to go further than this.

We need to confront the fact that democracy and wealth hoarding cannot coexist. Allowing people to amass the resources of a small state/country allows them to act as such, which is inimical to a shared society of “one person, one vote.”

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

Garth was always that annoying country music my dad liked, I didn’t know that he outsold Elvis and Michael Jackson

I learned yesterday that the all-time number one best selling artist in the US is The Beatles, which didn’t surprise me. What did is that the number two is Garth Brooks.

At least there’s no famine or currency devaluation going on (looks at the regime’s trade and agricultural policy) ah, nevertheless,

Not to mention the unaccountable secret police, threats of violence against socialists, military parades for the leader’s birthday, shadowy vizier(s) hellbent on destruction, suppression of labor organizing, kleptocracy…good thing these have all worked out well for regimes in the past
