There’s a far simpler way. Let me explain: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

Heather Marsh explains how we were coerced into wealth aspiration through manufactured scarcity & symbolism, & why that system is failing. When luxury lost scarcity & wealth lost meaning, admiration flipped to contempt. What’s collapsing isn’t the economy, but the story that once held power in place

Always use drop boxes or drop directly to the supervisor of elections if possible. Vote your ballot the day you get it.
So in 2026, the USPS will no longer process mail as it comes in. It will process mail when they feel like it. So they can deliver a letter or a package a month later. The Convicted FElon is doing this to prevent mail-in voting without outlawing it. He doesn't want the Democrats to win the Midterms.

In case people aren't aware, you can now purchase combination COVID & Flu A/B tests for about the same price as the COVID antigen tests.
And if you do test positive for any of them, reach out to your healthcare provider — antiviral treatment may be available.
