And so the Shortest Day came and the year died
And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world
Came people singing, dancing,
To drive the dark away.

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

On election day, an election 🧵

@andycraig.bsky.social argues that institutional reform of congressional elections is necessary. Instead of the winner-take-all logic of gerrymandered single-member districts, he says, choose proportional representation.
Want to End the Gerrymandering Wars? Embrace Proportional Representation
Trump has triggered a particularly fierce round, but the logic of war is inherent in a winner-take-all system

We cannot be a meaningfully representative democracy until we replace the Senate & single-member districts as currently structured with actually representative & democratic institutions

When will America wake up and realize that Democratic Socialism is far superior to Cutthroat Capitalism?

Greed and competition are Neanderthal traits.

We need to evolve into our higher selves with compassion, cooperation, generosity, happiness, enlightenment, peace, & love as the prime directives.

My son was 1 when leaders gathered in Paris & pledged to keep warming BELOW 1.5C.

He’s now 11, & we’re spending our second year ABOVE 1.5C.

They’ve doomed all our children because preserving a suicidal economy is more important.

We. Should. Be. Furious.

Blue states should find a way to hire the noble scientists from CDC and NIH and give them the chance to protect the public health where it is valued. The science doesn't just go away - we just need to give it a respected home.

"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."

Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.
