"...AI Financial has served mostly to channel more than half a billion dollars to the Trumps, in an instance of investors losing out while the presidential family rakes in cash. Last week, President Trump disclosed he had earned over $1.4 billion during 2025..." www.wsj.com/business/dea...

I’ll also note: proportional representation systems have significantly higher representation of women in legislatures. Majoritarian systems, like ours, are bad in so many ways! www.jstor.org/stable/40263...

Proportional ranked choice voting delivers both majority rule and minority voice. Our new report examines how it helps voters from different neighborhoods win fair representation in local elections. 🧵

When Trump signed his and Republicans' Big Billionaire Bill into law, they made it clear who they really work for—and it’s not the American people.

“As we begin America’s next 250 years, we should be bold enough to imagine a stronger democracy... adopting proportional representation so legislatures better reflect the people they serve…” www.minnpost.com/community-vo...

Anthropic, Google and OpenAI all agree that some sort of AI regulation is necessary, even if they differ on the details. But there is little dispute that the current process is dysfunctional econ.st/4gY6Hkc Illustration: Fortunate Joaquin

Our political parties suck because we have only two. With MORE parties, they'd have to both compete with each other to win seats *and* cooperate with each other to pass laws. Counterintuitive but true. #ProportionalRepresentation #EndPolarization #MultiPartyAmerica #FairSeats

"Unlike other presidents who generally have divested holdings or established blind trusts, Trump put many of his assets into a revocable trust overseen by Donald Trump Jr...." www.wsj.com/finance/trum...

Voters are fed up with leaders like Donald Trump using their positions of power to enrich themselves. A comprehensive ban that prevents the president and lawmakers from trading stocks is past due.

"Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland said that he’s never seen this much interest in #ProportionalRepresentation from his colleagues... [E]very district nationwide becomes a swing district..." newrepublic.com/article/2117...

I laughed

single-member, winner-take-all districts are the root of the bad way, so getting rid of those while uncapping the House solves a tremendous number of problems at once.

People desperately want mutiparty democracy with multi-member districts & proportional representation protectdemocracy.org/work/democra...

"Guinier supported #ProportionalRepresentation. The notion that a group or political party getting 30 percent of the vote should get 30 percent of the power, not 0 percent. As it happens, this idea is the most popular form of democracy in the world." www.thenation.com/article/poli...

"For several reasons, districts drawn without considering race or party fall short of a more durable reform: #ProportionalRepresentation, in which a group wins a share of legislative seats roughly equal to its share of the vote." thehill.com/opinion/camp...

Aly is a friend of friends, active in the Libertarian Party. A friend of mine in the county with this facility has been advocating for his release for months. Thank G-d it happened.

Fusion voting isn't just a workaround for winner-take-all elections. Even in institutions like the U.S. Senate, fusion can expand representation without changing the structure of the office itself. @mike-latner.bsky.social

#ProportionalRepresentation will fix gerrymandering, halt the two-party doom loop of polarization, give fair representation to minorities, and give *all* voters more viable choices.

Greetings all—it's #Juneteenth, a powerful day in the Black freedom struggle. In NC's history, newly emancipated Black voters allied with poor White farmers through fusion politics. That same spirit can guide us today. #FusionVoting can break the two-party doom loop—and build a real #democracy.

And we also need #ProportionalRepresentation in the California legislature.

#ProportionalRepresentation would end gridlock. Two parties inevitably view each other as mortal enemies. Multiple competing parties build relationships because they know they have to find allies.

When former Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan ended his independent campaign for Michigan governor, he cited a desire not to be a "spoiler." That's a common concern in choose-one elections. With ranked choice voting, independents can run without that risk – giving voters more choices.

It looks like proportional representation with multi-member districts: protectdemocracy.org/work/democra...

#ProportionalRepresentation ASAP, please!

#uncapthehouse @uncapthehouse.bsky.social If the distribution of House seats was proportional, it would be a different story. As of now, all three branches represent minority rule.

It sure sounds like Pete is "possibly" on board with Uncapping the House my fellow constituents. :) #projectnocap

"Multimember districts help alleviate the problem of one member deciding all of the priorities for that district, introducing healthy competition among the district’s representatives vying to be the most responsive to their constituents." www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

Two parties is too few. It's impossible for them to have platforms that make logical sense, and impossible for them to cooperate when they are each other's mortal enemy. #ProportionalRepresentation would fix that.

"This February, a bipartisan bill was introduced in the Wyoming Legislature that would have led to the state electing representatives to its lower chamber via #ProportionalRepresentation (PR)." www.governing.com/politics/the...

Say it with me: Parliamentary system with proportional representation multi-member districts with ranked choice voting

@sfchronicle.com has data on the question of what parties we'd be likely to see if @prorepcoalition.bsky.social was successful in achieving #ProportionalRepresentation to get a multi-party California legislature. www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...

In an era of multiparty politics - first past the post is utterly broken. It is time for Proportional Representation. The climate crisis & our inequality crisis cannot wait for another general election. Failing to fix our democracy immediately will betray future generations.

"This week, Eveline sits down with Colin Cole and Heather Villanueva of @equitabledemocracy.bsky.social.... They have spent years building the case and the coalitions for proportional representation at the local level." expanddem.substack.com/p/a-more-equ...

What gives us hope? Movements that expand democracy instead of shrinking it. We support fusion voting, which gives voters more choices, encourages coalition-building, and creates a politics that’s less polarized and more representative. @msifry.bsky.social theconnector.substack.com/p/what-gives...

It *is* truly time for #ProportionalRepresentation.

Thank you Ring of Democracy for a great interview about #RankedChoiceVoting for Sacramento's local elections!

"In a single member district..., 51 percent of voters can elect one candidate and the other 49 percent get nothing. ...[In] one broader district that elects four winners... 25 percent... can elect one of the candidates." #ProportionalRepresentation democracyjournal.org/arguments/th...

We need a law that requires the president to divest from all stocks that could generate a conflict of interest. Trump’s recent disclosures show why. bit.ly/4dXnm4z
