Hawaii just found a way around Citizens United. Other states are following (opens in new tab)

Unconstitutional on 14th amendment grounds and first amendment grounds.

They are privileging speech rights from some groups over other groups (unions v corps).

Corporations, as an entity, deserve no Constitutional rights. Only the individuals that make them up, and as individuals, not as a group.

Fascinating! But does this only apply if the company is incorporated in that particular state? If there is any state that doesn’t adopt the new law structure, then companies will just re-incorporate to that other state.

Of course, not every company may find it worthwhile to do that. So on the whole, it will probably mean companies that aren’t that involved in political spending will become even less involved. But, the largest spenders may find it worthwhile to re-incorporate so they can continue to do it.

high school, something, magna carta seperation of church and state, something, something

NOW, we need a seperation of business from state, where state regulation is explisetely antagonistic to mega business/bank acumulation of assets/capital. It has to happen, and soon, or China, which maintains an actual functional central government, will thrive, while we decend further into a new dark age.

Citizens United might be cooked, finally.

Stories like this one, though rare, often remind me that there is hope, and that society is not static. That even though there is corruption, and setbacks, by continuously pursuing a goal we can slowly claw our way towards a better tomorrow.

We have to do something tho. Today I was thinking out loud how it would be awesome if we could build a middle ground party around mamdani and company, along with like minded individuals. Sure he couldn't run for President, but what if the Party was different in it's constitutional structure. What I'd party power was divided into two heads, chairman(who vehemently defends the brand), and the political leader (charismatic figure dujur). This setup would mimic nature, close to perfect ecosystems in nature make use of antagonistic forces to maintain balances and preserve environment. This thir party would exist smack in the middle of the spectrum. Let the Oligarchs have the republican party, and let the corporatist/wall-street/speculators have the Democratic party. The Pleb/people can build a new modern real and functional party in 2026. Why Mamdani?? He just achieved what seems like an impossible fiscal feat, in your face Bezos and his bold claim that taxing the Rich won't make a difference. Honestly guys, the Mandani movement has gained cosmic gravity power with that move, I'm talking probably surpassing Bill Clinton's mobilization and even the legendary "yes we can" of Obama fame. Even if he cannot run for President. We'll make him Governor of the new Moderate Centric Progressive People's Party. First constitutional commandment: Though shalt not take candy from Corporations.
