anyone else have “james brown: live at the apollo, 1962” burned into their psyche in such a way that breaks between tasks are punctuated by horns?

What’s the solution? Honestly, I think the only solution is mobilizing young people and apathetic voters to overwhelm expected outcomes.
How do we mobilize young people and apathetic voters? That’s the real question we need to be asking.

why would these policies that the people want be put into law?
Until our laws put reasonable constraints on the influence of corporate money on elections, on Congress, and on the Judiciary, our system of government is flawed, and, frankly, we just have to put up with it.
the people want due process; the people want education; the people want a living wage; the people want caps on gaps between CEO’s and workers’ pay. But people are also tired of feeling like their votes don’t count. And as long as corporate money equals free speech, and corporations are people,
As long as SuperPAC money is greasing the gears of Congress and pouring into candidates’ campaigns for office, and buying the decisions of Supreme Court justices, democracy is not possible.
We know that the people want health care; the people want inclusion;
Corporate interests are overjoyed that we keep the spotlight on Trump and Musk. When those guys flame out, as they appear to be on track to do, those faceless corporations will just buy a kinder, gentler puppet to distract us, and make us feel like we put down the bad guys.
I’ll run away with you…
