The Department of Justice will send election monitors to vote centers in California and New Jersey during the two states’ off-year elections next month.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

October 19, 2025 All last week, Republican leaders tried to portray the No Kings protests scheduled for Saturday, October 18, as “Hate America” rallies.

This is catching on quickly ..
Hoping career Democrats understand that playing by the same book won't win elections
And, hope that there are Women of Color involved in the conversations, because they are truly the experts in envisioning what "abundance" looks like in every facet of American life.

Building a law of abundance The artificial scarcity plaguing our economy is deeply rooted in a "law of constraint" built over half a century. How do we unwind it?

OK, we've imagined the Abundance omelet. Now, which eggs should we break, and how? That analysis must begin with a grasp on how the law promotes scarcity and where legal tools can crack it. It also reveals the bigger-than-Democrats dimension to this. hypertext.niskanencenter.org/p/building-a...

High Energy Bills Maryland

Wastefull utility spending and excessive utility profits are increasing our bills, making it unaffordable to heat our homes.

Wherein I ask:

“How appalling is it that Trump—an outright criminal who should have gone to jail for far more than he was convicted of—is using his official power to punish lawyers for representing innocent people he doesn't like and to deny people the very due process he's getting?”
