I’ve drained my entire savings trying to survive. I cashed in what little retirement I had available at 38, just to keep a roof over my head. I sold things I loved. I took every gig, every scrap, every hustle I could find, even some I am ashamed of. I’m down to thirteen dollars in my bank account.

I am beyond excited to be teaching tonight at CRGE's inaugural Representation in Action monthly virtual teach-in series! This month, we break down the Powell Memo: the start of a 50 year plan for corporate-government takeover, show how it set the foundation for Project 2025 & Big Beautiful Bill.

Most Americans think they vote directly for president. But that’s not exactly true. The system that really decides who wins is called the Electoral College, and it was built into our democracy long before television, telephones, or even trains. 👇🏻 open.substack.com/pub/theshatt...

Gerrymandering is when political district lines are unfairly drawn to give one group or party more power in elections.

My situation hasn't gotten critical and any little bit helps. Our roommate got laid off this month. I'm still trying to find work, book freelance gigs after 18 months of job searching, and we are in absolutely desperate need of assistance with our rent and phone bill. I've got $4. I'm desperate.

Why did the US Founding Father's intentionally craft a Limited Government? What happens when a leader oversteps that limit? ⭐️ This article has been contributed by guest author, Alexander Perez, a reporter born and raised in Southern California.

12 Years Free I've been living with suicidal ideation for over 35 years, and survived over 30 suicide attempts.  I am officially 12 years free of self harm and suicide attempt this week. When I took my first blue chip, after sitting in the far back row and not speaking in recovery meetings for…

The Black Panther Party didn’t just challenge police violence: they reimagined what American civics could look like. From free breakfast programs and community health clinics to legal advocacy and grassroots organizing, their work helped expand how we think about civil rights and mutual aid.

If you’ve ever wondered why some neighborhoods thrive while others are neglected, the answer is often hidden in public budgets. In my latest article for Medium, I break it down in plain language: what is a city budget, who makes the decisions, and why it matters more than most people realize.

56% of Americans read at a 6th grade level, and over 20% are fully illiterate. Those people CAN understand the language used in Trump and Elon's tweets. We can keep jerking ourselves off because of how smart we are, or we can make the effort to move our messaging down to the level of the people.

“We have not received any information on why they were detained,” she said. “All we know is that Martir is just a fourth grader who’s by himself, without his dad, without a parent, and just in a place that he probably doesn’t know, so we can only imagine what he might be feeling.”

Dear elected officials, Please stop posting important stories with news articles that are behind a paywall. You mean to share good information that your community members need, but many cannot afford to read the articles being shared. Information is power. - The Shatterpoint

A great reminder from Journalism Now on the difference between three very different types of professional and independent journalism: 1. News Stories 2. News Analysis 3. Commentary/Opinion Sometimes we hold writers to a standard not meant for their body of work.

The Shatterpoint is ONE woman, operating everything while on the verge of homelessness and devastation. If I could, we would give money to every person who reaches out to us, but sheerly do not have any funds. 100% of what I do is ran off my phone that I have 0 way to pay the bill for this month.

Let's talk about fast and dirty digital literacy. How can you identify if a source is biased or legitimate in 45 seconds or less? 👇🏻 By using the PROP method!

💡A memecoin is a cryptocurrency based on jokes or memes, not real tech or value. Many are used in "pump-and-dump schemes": where people hype up the coin to raise its price, then quickly sell to make a profit, leaving others with losses. Watch out!

💡 A "shadow docket" decision is when the Supreme Court makes a quick ruling without full briefings, arguments, or public explanation. It’s often used in "emergencies", but critics say it lacks transparency.

💡 The Congressional Review Act, created in 1996, lets Congress overturn new federal rules within 60 days using a simple majority vote. It’s a fast-track tool to block regulationsno filibuster or new law needed.

💡 Politicians who sold stocks before tariffs were announced may be using non-public info to avoid losses or make gains, info the public doesn't have yet. That’s called "insider trading": profiting off secret government decisions before they impact the market.

💡 Air traffic controllers keep planes safe by guiding them during takeoff, flight, and landing. They prevent collisions, manage traffic flow, and talk to pilots nonstop. No breaks, no mistakes.
