Just 10 billionaires have already poured over $600 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

One step further: it should be unthinkable that we would register people for the draft without first making sure that they are registered to vote. And indeed: it makes no sense generally to hold elections without making every effort to make it as easy as possible to vote! That’s what democracies do.

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.

CW: transphobia. See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤 This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did. But it's not just similar. It's *identical*. In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938. Paragraph 175 and 183.

There's a link between the AI disruption and the authoritarian political attacks on expertise. Highly educated white collar folks considered ourselves to be a powerful culture, on the basis of our expertise & credentials. But that's not where power comes from, and we're learning that the hard way.

Here's what I expect from Democrats. Their goal is to win big in the midterms. Do some tepid sanctioning of the Trump regime. Then hopefully win the presidency in 28. They want to reinforce that the status quo still works. They don't want to acknowledge the institutions are broken.

MacKenzie Scott has ramped up her charitable donations this year from $2.1B in 2023, $2.6B in 2024 to $7.1B in 2025, totaling $26.3B since 2019. I love that she just gives the money to charities without strings versus giving them conditions or establishing her own charity to work on pet projects.

Here's how silly US racism is. Black people in California vote consistently for us to to be taxed more, because we are a rich state. We also vote to send that money to West Virginia to help them. But white people in WV vote consistently to cancel the very programs and assistance they depend on.🤦🏿‍♂️

At some point, the people of the US are going to have to ask themselves why in 2025, we still have a system of "democracy" that is intentionally designed to give the 60% of pro ethno-state white voters more power than everyone else in the country combined. Questions for the 40% of white folk.
