Interested in conversations.

Not a fan of DMs unless we’ve already connected publicly.
I was very confused by your post, but love that you are promoting healthy conflict not shutting each other down.

“Administrative actions taken since January 20, 2025, are the largest factor decreasing CBO’s projections of the number of immigrants in the country.
“The population contains fewer people ages 25 to 54—the age group that is most likely to participate in the labor force

Ours has always been positive, not because we have more babies, but because we attract immigrants. Now we are driving them away. Without a growing population, capitalism doesn’t work. It’s a bubble. And we broke it.

Changing the constitution will be very difficult. We do probably need a new one, but also very hard to do.
Personally, I think the next D president expanding SCOTUS to 12 justices and pushing for the electoral college to be proportionate rather than all or nothing would be more practical.

I admire your passion.
And I’m honestly curious.

As a practical matter, the last amendment proposed was in the 1970s and it still hasn’t passed (ERA).
Do you want to modify the constitution or write a new one?

I like this interpretation!

I’m curious, are you saying Ds should promise retribution next time they are in office?
January 17, 2026 at 12:47 PM
How do you suggest changing the Supreme Court?

As a north side who moved to the south side, I’d also like to mention that the south side has minimal bus service. It’s point for future discussion, but if the question is accessibility it’s a desert down here.

ICE literally has to make up dirt and vilify a woman who said”I’m not mad at you” (or words to that effect) to justify her shooting.
They are on the defensive and it shows.

Sure.
There always are.
But by staying peaceful they highlighted the brutality of their opposition and built public support. ICE currently has incredibly low public support. And by continuing to point out the gassing of 6-mo old babies & killing of middle class moms they lose more every day.

Good luck!

There is a way to stay peaceful. Look at MLK/civil rights in the South, Gandhi/Indian independence, Mandela/South Africa.
