Democrats and inequality
*Democrats who attack inequality do better in elections. The party
should take notice.*
The reason most Democrats in office are plutocratists is, I suspect,
that the plutocrats give them money and astroturf campaign support.

Gaza. There are many ways it could increase the amount that other

Voter suppression
The Tories have hit on a clever method of excluding university
students from voting in the next UK election.
This method is simply to hold the election in October.
The problem follows from the current rules of the electoral system. It
needs fixing by changing the rules.
Part of the cause of the problem is the ID requirement that the Tories
introduced recently.
ID requirements in the US are imposed by right-wing parties for the sake of voter suppression, and the UK is no different.

Phoenix heat protection rule
*Phoenix passes landmark rule requiring heat protection for outdoor workers.*
Enforcing these rights for enslaved outdoor workers will be difficult.
Typically they are either blocked or intimidated out of communication
with state officials. The lack of these protections threatens their lives.

Chinese repression
Chinese students in Britain who criticize the Chinese dictatorship
face various sorts of intimidation, and one university has blocked
professors from teaching them about the issue.
It would be useful to organize a system to give Chinese students the
advice to rent post office boxes, or find non-Chinese people to
receive snail mail for them, so they can give their families addresses
which are not where they live.
