Wanna know why politicians won’t tell you the truth? You wouldn’t vote for them if they did!

We know the price of everything and the value of nothing. From waiting in a queue to editing Wikipedia, here is why we need to stop promoting leaders based on cash and start looking for intrinsic merit.

We’ve turned social media into a digital thunderdome, but it doesn't have to be this way. Wikipedia proved that radical openness can actually create a public good instead of total chaos. It’s time we stop amplifying our worst instincts and start building for our better angels.

You think you chose your political side, but did you really? The competitive system isn't just about voting; it’s programming how you see the world and locking you into a box. It’s time to realise that treating politics like a team sport is breaking our ability to think clearly.

Why does the loudest person in the room always seem to win online? We’ve built a "shoutocracy" that rewards rage over actual merit, but there’s a way to fix the middleware of our democracy. Discover how bridging algorithms can actually help us find common ground again.

Why can we trust 12 random people with a life-or-death court case but can't trust our own leaders? We’re looking at why the jury system actually works while our politics keeps failing. It’s time to move from "winning" to actually working out what to do next.

We’ve turned our elections into a giant game, but politics isn't supposed to be a sport. George Washington didn't want to be President, and that reluctance was exactly what made him the right choice. Here is the lost history of how we were supposed to pick our leaders.

Imagine a party leader admitting to a journalist that their personal views contradict their own party. That level of honesty feels impossible in modern politics. See why independent politicians give us hope and remain a stabilising healthy influence in a very bad situation.

Think the internet is the key to direct democracy? If we all voted on every law, we’d spend hours every day fighting disinformation and hype. Here is why the ancient Greeks didn't use elections for their day-to-day decisions—and why we shouldn't either.

We force leaders to play a brutal power game to win elections. When Joe Biden stepped down, we missed a huge chance to change the rules. Imagine a system that ignores campaign speeches and uses a Venetian merit system to pick the best candidate. It is time to end this circus.

I just paid tribute to John Bartholomew. He was a loving father, a good man, and a committed Chicago PD officer fatally shot in the line of duty over the weekend. May he rest in peace.

Love this coaching from Mike Brown. Screams at Kolek (rightfully so) and benchs him for dropping back instead of chasing the red-hot shooter off the 3PT line Then, after emotions cool down, Brown goes over to Kolek on the bench and explains himself. Then daps him up.

Infinity stones anyone? Also, I’m pretty sure I could lift that hammer. Probably not the real Mjolnir, but that version is made of plastic and I’m feeling lucky. 🔨 ⚡️

"There is also a tradition where Defense secretaries attempt to minimize their overtly partisan behavior," said Missy Ryan. "They try to, in the name of national security, act more as a nonpartisan actor, and Pete Hegseth has totally discarded that tradition."

Could your ballot be rejected even if you mailed it on time? 🗳️   The Supreme Court is weighing whether ballots must be received by Election Day to count. A decision could force major changes in states like California ahead of November.   @CassieSemyon explains what this means for voters.

Thank you to those so eager to support the campaign that they rush the stage and try to (illegally) hand me cash.

Professor Andrea Lawlor explains to PROC why it is a problem that MPs have left political parties and the personal data they have on Canadians exempt from privacy law & how bill C-25 does alarmingly little to safeguard voters' data & prevent privacy breaches

This animated video actually shocked me to the core. The overt racism detailed here should sicken anyone with a decent moral compass. At some point, I expect to see Donald Trump do an “Address to the Nation” in full Ku Klux Klan regalia. 😡😡

78 years ago today, 750,000 Palestinians were expelled during the Nakba (Palestinian Catastrophe in 1948). This is dedicated to the memory of those who were displaced, to those who were lost, and to the resistance that never stopped. We honor their struggle. We carry their story.
