There’s a very simple solution to this question. Legislation banning public officials from being party to any NDA with any corporate entity. The argument is simple… Government officials should never be a party to contracts that facilitate the obfuscation of official actions from public view.

Stories like this have, for ages, treated men's desire to harm women as a sort of background noise, a weather we just normalize and accept and try to work around. Feminism is among other things a process of denormalization.

I feel the rest of the world (Americans included) have no idea of how aggressively the US is pushing to make Latin America into a giant colony. Every day we get news about political interference, increase in military presence, absurd trade demands, online propaganda, Venezuela being pillaged, etc
Headline from one of Brazil's biggest newspapers that reads: 
Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin) warns the government and the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) about the 'critical' level of escalating US pressure against Brazil in the elections.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Any sweeping systemic change you want to make in the United States has to begin with adding seats to the Supreme Court in 2029. No major reform bill will survive the current court. No civil rights law, no anti-corruption law, no wealth tax, nothing.
