“States don’t have to grant corporations the power to spend in politics. In fact, they could decide not to give corporations that power.”
If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

At first glance, I thought this was a chart of job losses in November.
No. Just the loss of sea ice since 1989.
Are we ready to take back our country from pedophile-protecting climate change deniers who are also tanking our economy with terrible economic policy?
Please?!

Some updates from “the lab”! Added a sign to the door for fun, got neon markers for the dry erase board, added some backlighting (scavenged from a lamp) and made the “solarpunk” frame for the Voyager poster. Next up — put the dry erase board on a stand and add wheels! (Then to the actual lab work…)
