Proportional representation is a key safeguard against authoritarianism that we should adopt to help reconstruct American democracy.
Our system gives center-right voters only the binary choice of center-left vs. far-right, & many choose the latter. PR gives them a 3rd choice of center-right parties

The Brazilian political system is, structurally, very similar to the American one. But when they elected a Trump-style authoritarian back in 2018, their Congress and Supreme Court actually fought back.
I went to Brazil to find out why. And what I learned surprised me.

Women shouldn't have to do anything more than men to vote. If they have to pay for another form of id in order to vote, that's a poll tax which is financial and sexual discrimination.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

I'm pretty persuaded that there a lot of people, including kids, who are lost in the system between renditions, detention, sweeps, etc.
These 2 kids detained last week were brought back to MN today. But school officials say many others from the Columbia Heights district are missing. They're not sure if they're in ICE detention or have moved away with their families. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

And the "retro-fit" sites are just for starters.
Wait until more of America learns about "TITUS".
DHS is funneling money from the military to build a massive new ghost network of concentration tent sites "that can be materialized anywhere in the US the moment a site is picked.” Diabolical sh*t.

He says the Senate must block DHS funding until ICE gets OUT of our cities. This is amazing.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.
