16 years ago the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are people, and have constitutional rights.

Almost 169 years ago, in the Dred Scott decision, the Supreme Court ruled that black people were not citizens and had no rights.
Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Indiana HB 1136, would dissolve some school districts, and convert them to charter schools. This is a power grab for the governor, who would appoint 4 out of 7 members of the new Board. Local voters would lose all say in the district. legiscan.com/IN/text/HB11...

On a related note: it can't be overstated how much Hegseth would be a bog standard MOD appointment in Russia. He's a wildly unqualified drunkard who is easily controlled, has pledged his loyalty to dear leader, and cares more about politics than process. Russification of America is a worrying trend.
the 'they're all corrupt, nothing matters' attitude is one of the reasons Russia is a godawful place and it's very worrying how much it's spreading in the United States
Since the “at their core, do they really *believe* in anything?” question is also leveled at the Democrats our core problem may be that a broad enough swath of the public believes that politics is all Kayfabe so why not vote for the most cynical bastard who promises to hurt your perceived enemies.
