Montana organizers have drafted a 2026 ballot referendum to block corporations from spending money in state, local and federal elections within Montana. The proposal sidesteps Citizens United by using state authority over corporate charters and powers.

Virginia’s warning reaches far beyond one state. Democratic voices increasingly argue that procedural caution and institutional politeness are failing against a movement willing to delegitimize opposition parties. The debate is now about protecting pluralist democracy.

When a state declares its strategic assets non negotiable, it signals mistrust deeper than diplomacy can hide. Iran keeping enriched uranium off the table suggests these talks are less about disarmament and more about leverage, deterrence, and regional power.

Public libraries are not charity projects needing annual survival battles. Zohran Mamdani’s budget locks in $31.7 million in permanent funding across NYC’s three library systems, treating knowledge, literacy, and public space as essential democratic infrastructure.

White supremacist Jake Lang claimed in San Francisco that immigrants are “replacing Americans,” warning children of migrants would take jobs and erase “heritage Americans.” The speech recycled the same xenophobic conspiracy theories long used to justify exclusion and hate.

In Bengal, around 91 lakh voter names were reportedly removed from rolls. About 34 lakh people appealed, saying they were genuine voters, but very few cases were resolved before polling. When disputed deletions exceed victory margins, trust in elections suffers. IndianSIR=SaveAct

“We already impeached him twice. He’s still president.” Michigan Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow says there are no shortcuts around democratic participation. Her message: organize, register voters, and vote in numbers strong enough to defend democracy itself.

Virginia’s Supreme Court allowed an election to proceed, money to be spent, voters to participate, and then overturned the result afterward. Whatever the legal reasoning, retroactively voiding a democratic process damages public trust in courts and elections alike.

MAGA is dead, Christians are very much disappointed.

Robert Jenrick trying to attack from the sidelines only to get reminded he literally switched parties himself was peak Westminster comedy. Max Wilkinson didn’t even raise his voice, just dropped one factual sentence and the entire chamber understood the assignment. 🤣

When a story “just makes sense,” what do you stop checking—time frames, base rates, or incentives? Hidden assumptions combined with persuasive narratives create base rate neglect that warp decisions. questionclass.com/when-a-story... #criticalthinking #decisionmaking #storytelling #questionclass

Thousands of federal retirees can’t get their retirement documents. They call OPM & get busy signals & endless hold times. Director Scott Kupor gave us a partial response & omitted critical info. I’m demanding real answers. I won’t stop until federal retirees get the benefits they earned.

Betrayal felt like an end, closing doors on relationships I valued. 🚪💔 But it redirected me to stop wasting energy on those not truly mine. When people reveal themselves, believe them. Now, my circle is smaller, but the light is brighter. 💡 Remember: You didn't lose them; you found yourself.

Donald Trump is the most corrupt President in US history. Now it looks like him and his cronies may have used insider knowledge to enrich themselves while their war makes everyone else poorer.

How is it that 80-90% of Americans agree that our public officials should not be able to legally enrich themselves based on insider stock information they have and yet the Stock Act which would prevent exactly that, never manages to be passed?
