The structures and tools that helped get us into this aren't going to be leading the way out of it.
We need a new political party to champion the cause of Liberty and Justice For All, one that recognizes Liberty as the absence of unjust authority of any kind and Justice as an exercise of love, not spite - a party whose structure ensures timely accountability and responsiveness to compelling causes
Better for all the conservatives in politics to be replaced with historians, the liberals with science fiction authors, and the moderates with teachers and comedians, but the historians, authors, teachers, and comedians would never seek the job because of the politicians they'd have to work with.

Justice denied is worse than injustice applied.
Justice denied will perpetuate until sufficient injustice is applied that everyone will settle for justice again - Justice for All, and no being picky about 'All'.
We'll soon be hearing that 'tainted wells' of evidence result in unjust prosecutions.

The failure of narrative reasoning - analysis by analogy to stories - is in mistaking the salacious for the salient.
General intelligence is the ability to correctly identify the salient, resulting in analysis that is relevant.
Propaganda sabotages analysis through salaciousness and convenience.

I made a form letter the other day for impeachment articles so that we could write them ourselves and bring them to protests, etc.

Every time a someone from the GOP says "illegal immigrants" replace that with the word "Jews" and ask yourself if it sounds like something a Nazi would say. That's how you know it's fascism.

Any senator unwilling to serve as Minority Leader should resign and let their states replace them.
They should also apologize for being useless and abusing their constituents' trust for their own aggrandizement, but that's too much to expect.

I think the Senate Democrats folded because they wanted to squander the momentum - it was for the wrong side of their party, the side they've always repressed.

Televised political debates should include roasters. You have journalistic moderators questioning candidates, candidates giving their responses... with Louis Black and Leslie Jones able to, at any time, mute all the other microphones and call out whatever needs calling out.

"Every man's home is his castle" was a good start to ethical reform of monarchic feudalism, but it definitely made a wrong turn when it implicitly twisted into "Every man's family is his colony."
I think we might have to decolonize the idea of family concurrently with decolonizing our communities.

To consume information responsibly does not ever mean identifying trustworthy sources. All claims must be verified by checking multiple sources that have cause to care about their credibility and by checking that the context that gives the claim meaning is both true and appropriately inclusive.

We should establish a web site that assembles and publishes a list of all Executive officials who have used their authority illegally or in defiance of court orders, given, passed along, or carried out an illegal order, and make it clear that when Liberty is restored, these guys are due for Justice.

I'm sorry Charlie Kirk died by violence. If we could have found out that was a micrometeorite, that would've been awesome. That it was violence, though, is bad for our nation.
That anything depends on the ideology of the shooter is a (fake) hysteria, and incentive to would-be shooters everywhere.

It's not just Brian Kilmeade: the lack of reaction (for four days!) demonstrates that this is how they all feel - they've all either said this or nodded along while they heard it countless times before for it to be so normal to them in front of a camera.

A political party could start regaining credibility by providing ballot access only to those candidates who first sign a letter of resignation contingent on civil litigation finding they have misled their constituents - an internal, nondiscretionary recall mechanism.

A better system:
Having selected candidates through primaries, the federal election determines the slate of games by which the candidates will compete for office. While they may have a period in which to train for likely challenges, their general ability to do so seems relevant to their competence.
