The Diversity Principle: The Story of a Transformative Idea

Humanities West Presents Emma of Normandy

Peaches Christ: Eat the Rich
Q: What concrete steps can the average voter take before the midterms to influence change?
Engage through outside-inside organizing, join or support movements and campaigns, volunteer for campaigns, and build local infrastructure so there is ongoing momentum and capacity to push bold reforms when opportunities arise.
Jonathan Turley: Rage and the Republic
Q: How should we address news and information produced by AI like ChatGPT and Google-drafted articles for voters?
Greater transparency in algorithms and sources is needed, along with a recognition that free speech extends beyond the First Amendment; policy should ensure accountability without stifling innovation or press freedom.
Jonathan Turley: Rage and the Republic

The electoral college should be protected as a mechanism to safeguard minority viewpoints and state-level interests, with evolving consideration toward proportional approaches while maintaining federalist protections.
