I'm Mr. Beat. I teach social studies, produce videos, and make music, often at the same time.

Though some candidates bucked this trend last night, most of the primary election winners were bought and paid for long ago. The candidates I supported spent much less money per vote than their opponents, so I remain optimistic.

Holy crap, today is Election Day....yet again. If you live in Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Virginia, or Washington, you get to vote in a primary election today. You should vote today because your vote will be louder today.

I don't like how members of Congress feel compelled to become online influencers. It's not their job to influence us. We're supposed to be the ones influencing them.

You lose my respect if you platform fascists. There is no "middle ground" between fascism and representative democracy. That's literally the biggest lesson of World War Two. It's naive to think that platforming fascists "exposes" them. It only legitimizes them to certain folks.

No ICE agent has been prosecuted or criminally charged for a fatal shooting despite some of these murders being caught on camera in broad daylight. Apparently if you want to get away with murder, just join ICE.
