We, the people of the United States, united in our shared pursuit of justice, equality, and opportunity, declare that our nation faces a crossroads. The promise of liberty and prosperity, enshrined in our founding documents, has been overshadowed by challenges that threaten the well-being of our society and the integrity of our democracy. To fulfill the vision of a fair and equitable future, we must confront the systemic issues that divide us and reaffirm our collective commitment to unity, progress, and human dignity.

Remember the color of Mexico being that orange-yellow haze? I think it was Breaking Bad when that really hit a height of ridiculous. But I was thinking about the US perception of Mexico and how that’s really come from the “top” down. We share one of the busiest borders in the world, trade billions of dollars every year, and collaborate on things that actually make life better for both countries. But instead of talking about that, politicians keep selling this TV version of reality, all to score points with voters who’ve never even thought about why so many people cross the border in the first place. Let’s flip this script.…

On pragmatic voting and Ranked Choice.

Hey everyone, let’s dive into something that could make a big change: Ranked Choice Voting (RCV). You might wonder, “Why is this so important?” Well, some powerful people are even trying to stop it before it starts.

It’s under 5 minutes and is literally enough of a rundown for anyone to get the gist. I’m really letting this video do all the heavy lifting on this post because there’s no reason at all for me to rehash what can told here. Here’s why RCV is a game-changer:…

I will preface this again – I’m not a researcher and am only trying to present what I think are some of the biggest pillars progressive-minded individuals can set up a whole camp under. Like an indoor market, we can all set up stalls of issues/actions important to our personal selves, but need overarching goals to rally under that we’re all working toward. The left in this nation aren’t in as much disarray as the right in what they’re working toward, but the lack of direction and leaders dying of old age in office shows that there’s a complete lack of care and foresight in fostering progressive agendas that continue…

Hey there! I’m starting this blog because I believe in a better future for all Americans — one not solely shaped by folks who may not fully understand our daily struggles or are more influenced by big companies than by us, the people (thanks, Citizens United, and everything that lead up to that). Why am I doing this? Well, I see a chance for real change. We’ve all felt that frustration, right? Wondering if our voices really matter against the loud chatter of politics? I believe they do. And that’s what I want to explore here: simple, clear reasons why the changes I’ll talk about really matter to you, me,…
