Video: We the people

WE THE PEOPLE | NIMO PATEL | EMPTY HANDS MUSIC

It was a year ago in September 2021 that The Fulcrum introduced our Pop Culture section.

At that time we said:


In our increasingly complex world of trauma and travail, where we must care about the health of our democracy and strive relentlessly to strengthen our representative republic, we call upon the products and services of our artists and athletes to remind us of our heritages and traditions, our cooperative and competitive selves.

This past year we honored and celebrated culture as a bridge to the latest news and analysis of politics, policy, and the birth of a new civic and political voice to build greater social cohesion, civic engagement, and problem-solving.

We hope you have taken the journey with us as we shared stories, music, poetry and dance to inspire our better angels as part of our continuing coverage of the problems and solutions of our times.

We believe more than ever that art has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people.

Today we present a powerful example in “WeThe People,” produced by Empty Hands Music. Their mission is to spread seeds of goodness in the world through selfless service, music and love.

Founded by Nimo Patel, who went from his Ivy League education to Wall Street to fame and fortune as a rap star on MTV. However, at some point along Patel’s journey he realized that he was walking a path of suffering and that the only path to light was through selfless service to others and his own internal purification. For the past 10 years Patel has been serving and working with the underprivileged communities in India.

Enjoy the healing power of “We The People.”

How Gerrymandering and Authoritarian Trends Threaten 2026 Elections

Ongoing redistricting battles in the United States are occurring amid warnings from analysts, legal scholars, and democracy reform organizations about a broader trend toward weakened institutional protections for fair elections.

In the struggle for partisan advantage, the risk extends beyond unfair maps to the narrowing of competition to make the 2026 election dependent on just a handful of districts and counties.

The Arrest of Maduro Is Not How Democratic Nations Behave

The United States' capture and arrest of Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro is another sign of the demise of the rules-based international order that this country has championed for decades. It moves us one step closer to a “might-makes-right” world, the kind of world that brings smiles to the faces of autocrats in Moscow and Beijing.

“On the eve of America's 250th anniversary,” Stewart Patrick, who served in the George W. Bush State Department, argues, “Trump has launched a second American Revolution. He's declared independence from the world that the United States created.” Like a character in a Western movie, for the president, this country’s foreign policy seems to be shoot first, ask questions later.

Kitchen Table Truths: Why America Needs a Pay Raise

Affordability as a political issue would in no way surprise my family. During Sunday dinners with my two-jobs, blue-collar mother and my retired grandparents, a former truck driver and former cafeteria worker, prices were always a topic of conversation. Even when inflation was low. Why? All three were running on a treadmill to keep up. My mother had less leverage to get the wage increases that she needed than others had in our economy, and Social Security payments go up only after a year of declining purchasing power and increased Medicare premiums.

Call it “sticky wages” and “fixed income.” I would also call it kitchen table truths. Inflation above 2% is unacceptable. The difference between 3% inflation and 2% inflation is the difference between prices doubling in only 24 years versus 36 years. Add that inflation from the Biden era, which peaked at 9.1%, is baked into the current price level.
