Want to help crowdsource Congress as part of a moral crusade to address systemic problems in the US? Joining the American Union and the #fastforpeace are the first steps to becoming a delegate in a people's congress. americanunion.substack.com/p/constructing…

Nice night for a fire. Look how many loose lighters I had laying around... plastic trash everywhere. Spent some time picking it out of leaves earlier. Dealing with plastic is a tax on our time. Manufacturers should compensate us as part of #UBI.

What a great afternoon to chill in #NC! Meditating on political theory. Any thoughts on 2025? The debt ceiling expires January 1.

@KarlWiderquist I fully expect Musk to buy it, I just don't know what happens to TruthSocial users

... So, that might be the best way out for Musk. Otherwise, he could cut his losses and sell Twitter.

Musk and Trump's business interests are on a collision course. They both own very similar social media platforms that are now in the very same niche of the mark. The market has no need for both of these platforms. Only one will survive. ...

@KarlWiderquist Remember those #YangGang days in 2019? Twitter was fun then.

That's as many as I had been getting in a month

Something's going on on that bloo skeye thing. I've been getting 30 new followers a day for the last week over there.

@Fissure256 @Blanjipan @neipate96 @questionableway Maybe, but the proposal was to *ban* gerrymandering. For that, we need a definition, it can't just be "we know it when we see it."

@Blanjipan @neipate96 @questionableway Much more difficult when your degrees of freedom are limited

uncapping the house & federally prohibiting gerrymandering would basically completely fix the lower chamber

@TheDailyShow I like where he stands on antitrust... we need more of that thebignewsletter.com/p/trump-nomina…

What's uniting Democrats and Republicans? A shared hatred for Matt Gaetz

@KarlWiderquist Not a bad topic. Typologies 5&6 seemed redundant and lost my interest. Also, a couple sentences need editing: p. 1) "...its central point is not now best way to define basic income..." and p. 21 "Anyone pursuing this marginalization strategy recognize that they are doing it..."

I just submitted an article on "the Debate Over the Definition of Basic Income" to a journal. If you read it, I'm interested in what you think. works.bepress.com/widerquist/149…

@matthewstoller "Cleverly, while privacy concerns are real, to prevent Google from using privacy as a pretext to shield data, they seek to 'prohibit Google from using or retaining data that cannot be effectively shared with others on the basis of privacy concerns.'" This is genius.

Antitrust enforcers asked a judge to take apart Google's market power. The executive team at the search giant is in absolute rage. thebignewsletter.com/p/the-rage-of-…

@ReichlinMelnick What's more interesting is that a 2021 survey in those swing states + NC found 79% in favor of a path to citizenship for those here more than ten years. So it's dropped 21% in three years. fwd.us/news/pathway-t…

There’s a really fascinating new survey out of UMD. It finds that when you explain to people what mass deportation is, and propose a path to legal status as an alternative, mass deportation is extremely unpopular (Eric Adams level of approval rating).

@georgelemental @ReichlinMelnick Did you not read the sentence after "11 million people who have been living in the US without legal status?" It says they were given "strong arguments for and against" each proposal.

@ReichlinMelnick “11 million”? “Undocumented”? This seems like a push poll. A better study would have a proponent of each of the policies write the arguments for that policy

Want to implement #UBI in the United States? It's possible... x.com/AnAmericanUnio…

I'm going to give away another autographed copy of my novel during the livestream tonight - join the nonviolent revolution! x.com/AnAmericanUnio…

Happy International Day of Nonviolence! It's not to late to apply the principles of nonviolence to this election and "boldly challenge the status quo." At least that's the crazy thing I believe. My fast of stewardship continues: 11 days down, 13 to go. americanunion.substack.com/p/a-fast-of-st…

In 30 minutes, I'll be talking about how to end the war on drugs. During the stream, I'm giving away an autographed copy of my novel of a utopian American: Looking Backward from the Tricentennial. x.com/AnAmericanUnio…

@MamaCassita @anthonyzenkus More viable, true, but still not actually viable. The United States has maintained a two-party system since the 18th century, and always will under our electoral system. americanunion.substack.com/p/third-partie…

@PhoenixCongress @anthonyzenkus 3rd parties’d be more “viable” if the 2 oligarch owned establishment parties didn’t pull all the nasty 🛑s 2keep them off ballots&if ppl actually voted their interests instead of being led by the nose by a party that cares nothing abt any1 except their billionaire, corp donors.

If lobby groups like AIPAC are allowed to use cash to leverage their demands from candidates, then voters are allowed to do the same with their votes.

Universal Basic Income is an alternative to low interest rates. It pushes money into the economy by spending rather than lending.

@Southernwineus All I can see in this video is the rogue apostrophe.

"Cowardice in the face of terror" is throwing justice under the bus—torturing men and holding them without charges for years—instead of sticking to the principles in the Constitution.
