Lincoln whose birthday we celebrate today advocated for the unyielding adherence to the law but also of changing it legally with Amendments. America regularly visits dark periods with only stars of inspiration to guide us to the 3 branches of effective government. Time for change! 🇺🇸♾️ #democracy

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

If you are freaking out about democracy today, it’s good to remember the cradle of democracy, the Battle of Marathon and the secret of the ancient god Pan- Don’t Panic. medium.com/@democracy-a...

Today is the anniversary of Lincoln’s speech “The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions” where he warns of mob violence and of a demagogue overthrowing democracy with tyranny. “Let every American, every lover of liberty, swear never to violate the laws of the country” 🇺🇸♾️

“Overwhelming majorities of Americans have consistently expressed disapproval of the ruling, with at least 22 states and hundreds of cities voting to support a constitutional amendment to overturn it.” #CitizensUnited www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Nice video of why humans should be treated differently than corporations. The majority of voters from both parties want money out of politics. It’s only the incumbent politicians who prefer the status quo. 🇺🇸♾️ youtu.be/bPMxwVfIKhs?...

15 years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations were people. Ever since, dark money and corporate interference has defined our elections. Overturn Citizens United. Give elections back to voters.

We couldn’t agree more, @padilla.senate.gov. It’s time to #EndCitizensUnited and return power back to the people.

I just finished The Lost Cause by Cory Doctorow. It’s an unnervingly prescient story with wildfires in LA featured prominently. Cory is notable for coining “enshittification”- the 2023 word of the year. locusmag.com/2023/12/paul... @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy #booksky

“While Trump eyes U.S. expansion, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and other U.S. territories have spent years advocating for statehood, arguing that millions of Americans will be denied full representation until Congress gives them a chance to become states.” 🇺🇸♾️ #DCstatehood

More nonprofit foundations should step up to support a new generation of Schoolhouse Rock-like projects, especially as the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States approaches. Richard Haass joins John Avlon:

A right-wing think tank that helped draft Project 2025 plans to target volunteer editors on Wikipedia with malicious tracking links who it alleges are "abusing their position." The right hates Wikipedia because they can't be bullied like Musk and Zuck. www.rawstory.com/heritage-fou...

Trump’s lawyers wrote to AG Merrick Garland on Monday, urging him not to release Smith’s report — a two-volume document that they were allowed to review in camera over the past three days. The history books will not be kind if Garland messes this one up, too. www.politico.com/news/2025/01...

Designating America’s 250th Anniversary as the ‘Fifth Jubilee’ highlights the continuous journey of the United States towards an ever-improving democracy. While 'semiquincentennial' is the technical term, the ‘Fifth Jubilee’ captures the spirit of the founding of the United States of America. 🇺🇸♾️

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who was disappointed with this year's election results, but will NOT be staging a January 6th insurrection beating cops and attacking the Capitol, not today or ANY day. We love our democracy too much for that.
