Fixing America can't happen without undoing Citizens United.
Corporations are not people, money is not speech, Congress can govern money.
Human rights are for humans. If you don't breathe you don't "speak" "believe" or "bear arms".

It's only helpful if we do something to improve the next election.
Here's the plain truth, zero speculation, it is technically impossible to have both secret ballots (which we clearly need) and secure electronic voting.
100% cannot do both. (The logic behind this is the incompleteness theorem.)

The thing is we've known that housing the homeless is cheaper than neglect, we've known that Ubi is effective at eliminating poverty, we've known that heavily subsidized housing and education leads people into the middle class, we've known all of these things in some cases for 70 years.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

"Make America Great Again" is such an outstanding con job because every listener fills in when exactly "again" means.
Mostly it's "when I was a child". But for some it's 1920s. 1890s, 1850s etc.
In all effective cons, the mark cons themselves. Turns off their own brain.

Once again, Elon has created a system where he can personally fund hate and Russian propaganda whilst maintaining some deniability regarding this because he's paying based on engagement.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

The Trump mythology tied every panic together. Influencers cast him as savior, Christian defender, economic genius, cartel crusher, and global strongman. Every fear loop ends with the demand to trust one man over law, data, or democratic institutions.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.
