The manager of a large kratom distribution company has given about $2.9 million to Republican candidates and campaign committees this year. He also went to the White House to plead his case. Kratom functions in the brain just like an opioid. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/28/u...

The most successful of the three political satires written by George S. Kaufman, Morrie Ryskind and the Gershwins, "Of Thee I Sing" seems to become more relevant as the years have made us privy to the shenanigans of our politicians in Washington, DC.

Professional political consultants say that voters don't care about corruption. Polling shows the opposite. Indeed, voters have come to understand that America now suffers from the worst corruption in its history and that this corruption links directly to decisions to go to war, gut healthcare, etc

Shepard Fairey, a pioneer in street art, created "VOTE!" in 2008. He said, "I vote because participating in democracy is the only way for every individual to shape how our society works." Vote #vote #artists #rescreativa #democracy

Wouldn't it follow, then, that their power, technology, and reach could also be used to make us feel optimistic about any political race in the USA? Keep the fires lit, believe no polls, and vote.
