  1. I wouldn't rely on a Hipkins-led govt to wipe it's own arse, let alone clean up corruption. In the unlikely event they do put some decent anti-corruption legislation in place - maybe the support parties make it a bottom line - the next government the corporatists manage to buy will just repeal it all.

    We need #ConstitutionalReform that can bind Parliament permanently, and can only be undone by calling another constitutional assembly, or via a binding referendum.

  7. > Reforms that would break the supermajority right-wing Court’s grip on the country — its operating as a legislative veto for Democratic administrations and a hall pass for Republican ones — would go far beyond docket management and ethics reforms, though. Term limits, court packing, jurisdiction stripping — the ideas lighting up the intellectual left and spreading to Democratic officials would overhaul the Court as we know it.

  10. I love Heather Cox Richardson, and Andy Borowitz, and here they are together, for the first time.

    Andy Borowitz interviews Heather Cox Richardson about what she sees happening with the Trump administration, SCOTUS, voting rights, the Electoral College, the Constitution, and democracy in the United States, in 2026 as we barrel toward midterm elections. Professor Richardson explains her thoughts through the lens of American history.

  15. The average lifespan of a national constitution worldwide is just 17 years. Ours has lasted 235 years without major updates. That's remarkable endurance, but also shows why modernization matters. We can honor the founders' genius while adapting their framework for today's challenges. the1776.org #ConstitutionalReform #Civics #Democracy

  19. We're building something historic. The National Advisory Panel for The 1776 needs volunteers who believe Americans can come together to modernize our Constitution through a citizen-driven process. No political litmus tests. Just people ready to help guide the most important civic project of our time. Join us at the1776.org. #ConstitutionalReform #CivicEngagement #The1776

  20. The average state constitution is revised every 19 years, but our federal Constitution hasn't been substantially updated in over 150 years. Meanwhile, technology, society, and governance have transformed completely. It's time for We the People to draft a modern framework that serves all Americans in the 21st century.

  28. Maybe kiwis need to accept that the NZ government is just fucked, give up on it, and work with whānau, hapū and iwi to reconstitute the country's governance arrangements from scratch? Stop buying into the badly cloned version of the British government that claims total sovereignty here.

    My reading of Te Tiriti in the context of He Whakaputanga is that it formally recognises Ngāti Pākeha as an iwi. Maybe we need to start acting like one?
