How many mayors can you name? Do you even know the name of your own city's mayor?

How many do you know outside your own state or the city where your parents live?

If someone is pointing a spotlight, don't let them stop you from looking in the shadows.

If you stand against something, you need to do so no matter the culprit. You cannot say you disapprove of Person A doing something, but encourage Person B because you agree with their specific outcome.

The best thing you can do is be informed about who is representing you. Your city councilor, mayor, state legislature, senator, congressperson.

You voted for them. You pay for them. Contact them. Let them know your opinions and beliefs.

Copoganda (cop+propaganda) should be a required warning like flash alerts and adult language.

Go vote today! Ideally vote 3rd party. If you know nothing about the candidates and don't want to vote for someone you don't know, vote in one of the write-in bubbles and write "No Confidence". Don't be one of the millions who view voting as a privilege, rather than a requirement.

Never let today's specificity, allow for tomorrow's overreach. Just because a specific situation benefits you right now, don't ignore what the potential impact could be to you or others.

We all have a duty to protect each other.

You are meant to question candidates. If someone is running for any public office, it is your duty to be inquisitive, think critically, and seek information.

Go to campaign events, speak to the candidates. Vote with your brain, not your heart.

1 innocent person in jail is far more dangerous to society than 10 guilty people being free.

Just because someone is arrested, doesn't mean they're guilty. Just because it "could" have happened, doesn't mean it did.

Voting with your dollar is a privilege. If you can afford to be selective and evaluate criteria before a purchase, do so with the weight it carries. Spending money at a business tells that company you are okay with their actions.

Social Media has harmed the proliferation of news. It has completely bypassed the tabloid uncertainty and means the content you're seeing as news is immediately cosigned by your friend who shared it. Don't let that stop you from validating the information you view. Trust but verify. Everything.

Just a reminder, 'white privilege' means you're treated as an individual, not as a representative of a group.
If you go to a house with a dog - a lab with food aggression, you don't assume every lab is aggressive. But a pitbull with the best attitude, is judged as an aggressive breed.
It's not hard.

The two party system is failing and has failed us. In 2025, 2026, and 2027 vote 3rd party. Prove an independent candidate can win so we get better candidates in 2028.

If you've ever told someone to "Vote X because you need to vote against Y", you should never tell anyone "You voted for this" when the elected official does something you don't like. Clearly you don't actually value your vote so don't demean theirs.

The party who writes the contract does not also get to interpret it.

If you sign a contract with ambiguity and a reasonable person could interpret it either way, fight for your interpretation - because you're legally entitled to it.

It's not about a woman's right to choose.
It's a woman's right to life-saving procedures.
It's a woman's right to have autonomy from a partner.
It's a woman's right to plan her future.
It's a woman's right to safety.
You can't stop abortion, only safe abortions.

If you're worried about protests: Put the number for lawyers in your phone.
Send photos of the cross streets you're at with lots of background in the shot regularly
Record too much rather than not enough. When you start recording, say your name, location, and why you hit record.
Stay safe

Government was not designed to be a tool to incentivize behavior. The govt can have an interest in more college graduates, higher birth rates, more farmers, or anything else. But once laws are created to encourage behavior, government has overstepped its bounds.

Our judges, congresspeople, senators, governors, and state legislatures have the power to protect us. The federal government attacking its citizens and residents is not just one branch or person. Hold everyone accountable. Vote. Advocate. Communicate.

The Senate is supposed to protect state's rights. Congress is meant to protect people's rights. The Senate should have 2 representatives per state, no matter what. Congress needs more representatives. It should have 3000 people.

Capitalism isn't the problem. Our government deciding that corporations have rights like citizens is the problem. Corporations should be a tool of the people. Government should be a protector of interpersonal rights and against foreign threats.

You only have the rights you know about. Learn the law. Read your employee handbook. Use resources like Reddit to crowd source questions to ask and laws to review. Know your rights. Protect yourself. Advocate for others.

One of the best ways for individuals to prevent government overreach is by being good to one another. Government feels the need to step in when someone harms another. Do good. Be good. Keep government small.

No law, regulation, or standard should ever be passed because of trust in the people currently serving government. The laws we make should outlast any one individual or government.

All government officials should be weak. The weaker the government, the less they can damage the lives of their citizens. 1 person being a representative of 1,000 citizens should be stronger than 1 person being representative of 340 million.
