The Supreme Court just greenlit racial profiling in immigration enforcement. Justice Sotomayor's dissent was stark: "all Latinos...are fair game to be seized at any time." This is a crisis requiring immediate movement response.

tfp Collective's alternative framework offers the missing piece: balancing individual agency with collective action. Not just theory but practical implementation that bridges the civics-economics divide.

A Flawed System: Strategic Voting and Democratic Distortion in Canada
While Canadians, along with many other “democratic” societies, believe that we live in an environment with a fair and just electoral system, it is clear upon deeper inspection that the system actually changes the way citizens and voters think and feel about democracy and politics. A flawed electoral system doesn’t just skew results, it rewires our understanding of what is considered to be democratic.
