Our democracy is dead. It was killed by billionaires who were armed by the Supreme Court. To resurrect our democracy, we need to publicly fund elections, implement universal basic income, end gerrymandering via proportional ranked choice voting, tax wealth, and expand the SCOTUS.
In 2008 (the last election before Citizens United), billionaires accounted for 0.3% of federal election spending. In 2024, 300 billionaires & their immediate families accounted for 19% of all spending, either directly or through PACs, totaling $3B+. nytimes.com/2026/03/09/us/bi…

Tax the rich and distribute universal basic income, then being terrified will no longer be a part of daily life.
Bill Burr is my spirit animal right now - the only person with any real following who is speaking the unvarnished truth right now.

While results from Madison's $500/mo guaranteed basic income pilot aren’t finalized, preliminary findings show more families receiving payments were employed FT halfway through the program, at the end of the year, and six months later than families in the program’s control group.

This is BIG news. Yes, there's the parallel to what we should have done to Trump but didn't. But what interests me most is that this means South Korea has to elect a new president in 60 days, and that person will most likely be the one who barely lost last time, who ran on UBI.
December 3, 2024: Yoon Suk Yeol, President of South Korea, declares martial law as part of scheme to manufacture conflict with North Korea. Dec. 7th: He apologizes to the nation. Jan. 7th: Investigation begins on him for treason. April 4th: Removed from office.

Mark Carney just won with 86% of the vote and will now be the next PM of Canada. One of the big questions now is if he will respond to Trump’s tariffs with basic income, which he knows is needed anyway in response to AI, and has the support of his party. youtu.be/OzJjVIvvf8A?si=XNMc…

The Basic Income Movement hosted a briefing on basic income and regrowth to MPs in Westminster last week. It was wonderful to have the chance to speak to MPs about why #UBI is good for the economy and society. We hope MPs continue to explore the possibilities of basic income!

Chicago's Basic Income Pilot helped people get back on their feet. - 92% of unemployed recipients actively job-searched - Direct cash assistance stabilized entire households - Homelessness dropped 35% to 24% within a year People don't stop trying—they just get a fair shot.

NEW results: Recipients of basic income were more likely to vote in local elections, more likely to sign petitions, more likely to work or volunteer for a political party, and more likely to attend or organize a protest. UBI supports civic participation. guaranteedincomeworks.org/da…

Yes! Taxing the super-rich is possible. 💪 🌍 Some governments are already doing it. 📜 The G20 has made a historic commitment. 🇺🇳 Most countries support new global tax rules at the UN. Let’s make it happen: taxthesuperrich.world #TaxTheSuperRich
