When America is rebuilt, the system must be designed to ensure that there will never be a concentration of power in any small group. The government's job will be to liberate the people from the deprivations of concentrated wealth, power, and knowledge by ensuring they are available to all.

If you don't like people speaking Spanish in the United States, stop conquering the lands of Spanish-speaking people.

Police are law enforcement, not public safety. No competent person needs a pistol on their hip and a shotgun or rifle in their vehicle to inform a person that they were driving 35 in a school zone.

If you believe that the American experiment has failed, you are missing the big picture. Elites acting with impunity while the people look on helplessly is exactly the intentions of the founding fathers. You weren't meant to have power. You were meant to have the illusion of freedom, not liberation.

Because unauthorized voting is a crime, the burden of proof must be on the government to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you are not a citizen, both in court and at the polling station.
The government serves us, not the other way around.

Our criminal corrections system must be redesigned.
Fines hit people unequally; it's legal if you're rich.
Incarceration is literally a waste of time; profiting from forced labor is immoral.
Systemic imperfections inevitably convict innocent men; a death sentence is premeditated homicide.

You are a gendered person in a patriarchal society. You will never know freedom until you transform your society to liberate you.

Incompetent managers who enforce nonsensical return to workplace policies should be viewed as ICE collaborators. Employees could be safe at home. Instead, the managers' inadequacy forces them to be exposed to racial- and ethnic-profiling dragnets. Such managers should be called out.

It should not go unnoted that the people who think that government doesn't do anything right elect incompetent people to ensure that they're not proven incorrect.

If you think that racial and ethnic minorities are naturally more criminal by their nature, explain why the white elites had to custom design criminal laws to have the excuse to put them in prison.

Imagine how sad it must be to be an American so lacking in accomplishments, intellect, wisdom, kindness, perseverance, courage, honesty, integrity, gratitude, responsibility, confidence, helpfulness, generosity, ethics, or other personal value that you can only manage to be proud of being white.

When you breathlessly agreed that the second amendment was "necessary to the security of a free State," you didn't think about who the State was securing itself against, did you?

To be a man you must first be a human in a civilization that recognizes masculinity. The very definition requires men to be humane and civil. No person who rejects the prerequisites of manhood can possibly be considered to be a man. Anything else would result in a toxic version of masculinity.

The United States became a great, trusted power when it used its moral and industrial might to defeat fascism and imperialism. It's time to return to that tradition.

All of the serious parties in the United States should pledge in their platforms the return of and reparations for any action related to seizing Greenland. Make it clear now that no matter what happens, it will be for nothing

Cruelty is weakness. No good person would seriously consider torture, humiliation, or abuse, let alone engage in them, even if they thought it was legal or they thought they could get away with it. Cruelty is a sign of a petty person. Be the bigger, stronger person.

One of the biggest approaches for the United States and its people in all their dealings should be "deescalation." The real problems in the world won't be solved through violence--violence only brings people to the table where they'd still have to work it out.

In addition to the executive, legislative, and judicial, the United States needs to add an administrative branch, consisting of independent agencies. Their work would be depoliticized. They would be led by administrators selected for set terms by the president with qualifications set by law.
