I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned. We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt. I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars. And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence. And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it. The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen. I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.

MrBeast says he was shocked to learn there was no way to pay extra for child labor free cocoa in West Africa “I asked everyone involved in sourcing cocoa, ‘Is there any way I can pay a premium and not have little kids work on my farm?’ And it literally didn’t exist.” “I was just so mind blown. It was frustrating because not only did it not exist, no one really seemed to even think it needed to exist.” “I was like, ‘These are kids. You have no issue making billions of dollars in profit while little kids are working on the farms?’ It was a very weird thing.”
