Protests, by design, disturb. They rupture the comfort zone, reminding us that silence only serves the status quo. Protests are meant to shatter the illusions of normalcy.

I gave my comments to @Reuters on China's big reshuffle today.
China just did a big move unseen in at least half a century — two top-level Politburo members’ just swapped jobs. This is important because it signals an attempt at stop the political legitimacy bleeding... /1

As we continue our discussions on the 2025 midterm elections, we extend our gratitude to Dr. Jan Robert Go (@WuAnping) for an engaging exchange on how national and local dynamics will shape the upcoming elections.
Grateful for @kasphilippines' invitation to discuss issues surrounding the 2025 midterm elections. Focused on the connection between national and local levels to understand how this year's election may turn out. Thanks, @braun_daniela and team! I enjoyed the conversation!

I got interesting responses and divided positions on the matter. But I agree that doing this can be a duplication of roles, a means for dynasties to solidify their power, and a more expansive venue for corruption. Others even propose the abolition of the chamber!

For example, since we have 18 regions, and if there are two Senators per region, the Senate will have 36 Senators—more than what we have now but could be more ‘representative’.
What do you think?
