Historically, in times of crisis, Americans have dug deep to engage with the founding ideals of liberty and political equality to shape a better future. Amidst cynicism about the current state of the country we can do it again.

Progressives have been fighting on the neoliberals’ terms. Market Humanism flips that—and provides a winning and more humane narrative. Oh—and a far more prosperous country.

The Supreme Court’s decision to gut what remained of the Voting Rights Act is the latest blow to our democracy. Proportional representation through multi-winner districts would ensure our elected representatives reflect the actual preferences of voters.

Non-compete clauses show up in contracts across nearly all walks of life and they are incredibly harmful for workers. @superwuster proposes that the next administration ban non-completes, once and for all.

The true culprit in contentious congressional redistricting isn’t gerrymandering. It’s the existence of single-member districts in the first place. It was never designed to help minority voters.

Every year over 2 million workers are seriously injured at work, and over 5,000 workers lose their lives on the job. Why? Employees have little agency to ensure workplace safety. Let’s fix that, writes @DebbieBerkowitz.

“The same country that decided, generations ago, that older people should not face old age without a basic income, and that hospital bills should not destroy families overnight, can make just as bold a decision about long term care,” writes @kavitapmd.
