Man, that sounds terrible. Killed with impunity by agents of the state for just being on the street and protesting? Hard to see how regimes like that can continue to claim a popular mandate.

I'm fairly sanguine that Democratic party politics will not tolerate a situation where Dems are so malapportioned, but if you're gonna do something to act, you'd better think ahead about how & when to do it *before* you're permanently locked into a minority

A broken Congress produces an overpowered presidency and Supreme Court. The ways in which Congress is broken are a consequence of the electoral system. None of these things improve in any viable long-term way without structural electoral reform. It's not a nice-to-have, it's the bedrock necessity.

In a world where many doubt their own strength, the little honeybee proves them wrong every day. It doesn't wait to be big or important—it simply does its work, quietly, consistently, and purposefully. And in doing so, it sustains life itself. Never underestimate the impact of small actions.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Political reforms which would set us on a path towards a new system which don’t require a constitutional amendment: - Proportional representation in the House with RCV in the Senate - Expanding the Supreme Court and limiting its power - Abolishing the filibuster - Adding DC and PR as states
