America is the only developed country in the world that's allowed an unaccountable, unelected Supreme Court to hand its political system over to its richest citizens… The biggest lesson Americans learned this election year is that billionaires basically own half of our political process. In the seven most tightly contested Senate races, billionaire spending on Republican candidates outpaces that on Democratic ones by seven-to-one. This is not how a democracy is supposed to work. The "demos" in democracy means "the people." Democracies are supposed to fulfill the will of the people; add the protections for minority groups a republic provides and you have what the Founders called "republican democracy" and we refer to as a democratic republic.

From silenced voices to erased truths, this could be the dark new order under Trump's iron grip… 31 October 2025 Leavenworth, Kansas Dear Louise, It's been almost a year since the last time I saw you, as they were arresting me on the "designated enemy within" sedition charge that's kept me in this prison. If the underground network here succeeds, you should get this letter within a few weeks; it's the third I've written you that got out of the prison, but I understand the first two couriers were busted for carrying contraband mail and are now in prison themselves. The day after President Trump was re-elected (when Speaker Johnson and then the Supreme Court recognized the disputed ballots in five states and threw the election to the House of Representatives), you'll recall, he invoked the Insurrection Act and began the mass arrests. They tell me Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Merrick Garland are in here, too, although I haven't seen them; apparently the "high value" former administration officials are locked down in a separate wing.

We need a cultural shift that views wealth not just as privilege, but as a duty to uplift society—reviving the forgotten principle of noblesse oblige... "To try to make the world in some way better than you found it is to have a noble motive in life." —Andrew Carnegie Last Sunday the richest man in America — who owes most of his wealth to President Obama bailing out his electric car company and government contracts — endorsed a man for president who's a naked racist, fascist, and xenophobe who famously said: "My whole life I've been greedy, greedy, greedy. I've grabbed all the money I could get. I'm so greedy. … I want to grab all that money." Two days before, we learned that the billionaire owners of The LA Times and The Washington Post killed their own newspaper's planned endorsements of the Harris presidential campaign, presumably to avoid angering Donald Trump so he wouldn't mess with their business interests should he be elected. "To hell with democracy," they essentially said. "There's money to be made!" What ever happened to the sense of obligation that wealthy Americans used to feel to help out their country and her people in need?
