Yes, Tom, no Senate (because the Senate is garbage) ans one giant House, proportionally elected.

The issue isn't who gets representation, it's that once you start unwinding federalism, why stop at presidential elections? Why bother having "states" at all other than as national administrative boundaries?
And why keep the Senate at all? Why not just a giant House, proportionally elected?

Sorry, but this is nonsensical. Federalism isn't a binary. Elect the President by national popular vote and both the little and the big empty states STILL get overrepresented in the Senate, which, need I remind you, confirms judicial and other nominations.

To my pleasant surprise, the New York Times does not abstain from acknowledging the basic fact in this article: Nefesh B'Nefesh promotes settlement in the occupied West Bank.
This is the value of having a mayor elect who is willing to say the truth, it compels the conversation to change bit by bit.

It is bad and evil to desire a majority white country. This should not be controversial. Ethnostates are bad. Racial purity is bullshit. There's no such thing as white culture because there's no such thing as the "white race" and white people aren't better at anything than anyone else.

Governments and administrations plan in years; states plan in decades. And the obvious planned model for the UK, Europe, USA and others is 'Israel Everywhere': fortress states secured by militarised borders where 'intruders at the gates' can be murderously laid waste because not-people, not-life.
On both sides of the Altantic, within and without bodies like the UN, EU and NATO, developed countries are eager to return to Hobbes's State of Nature as pretext for their response to climate crisis, and Israel is useful for establishing the worst of what states can get away with in that paradigm.
This is only a failure if you assume the purpose was to prevent genocide and uphold the international legal framework. If instead the purpose all along was to give America whatever it demands with a minimum of domestic political damage, then I’d say it’s been at least a partial success.

A truly level playing field would force them to face the terror of the realization that white guys are only mediocre at best.
And why do white women keep voting R? They know their fathers, husbands and sons aren’t anything special and can’t hold their own with everyone else.

Yep, one of the biggest drivers of the elite panic around “wokeness” was the increasing prominence of Black people and particularly Black women in their fields and we’re seeing that coalition rewarded with the targeting of Black workers.
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.

11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.
The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.
Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.

Stevie Wonder releases “Uptight (Everything’s Alright)” 60 yrs ago today.
At 15, the child star was in danger of being a has-been. His voice was changing. Motown execs “would give assignments to the various producers,” said songwriter Sylvia Moy. “No one wanted Stevie.”
The song saved his career.

Just to echo Rodent, UK politics makes much more sense if you understand it as Thatcherism collapsing in 2008 but persisting as gospel among the elites, who then spent the next two decades setting up various scapegoats to slaughter and then go, "Whoops. Turns out the blood is in another neck!"
I am not going to tell you my ideas are for def 100% the solution but I am going to say that it was crystal clear ten years ago that migrant-squealing Thatcherite centrism was a democratic disaster, and the lads spent that entire time screeching and gargling to protect it.
