When elites control both the economy and the platforms we speak on, technology no longer serves us. It serves concentrated power. CtrlShift exists to challenge that dynamic with reporting on how power actually functions.

Life is getting harder for everyone. Prices are rising, job security is in shambles, and with our democracy under threat, everyone is told a different story about who to blame. CtrlShift reports on the systems that lead to the symptoms we all experience.

Collecting real stories from everyday life and news from the US and from around the world, we hope viewers will find identifiable patterns between the growing concentration of wealth and the fragility of our democracy.

We may live very different lives, but we all feel pressure from corruption.

Our mission is not to tell you what to think. It is to make these systems legible. When we focus on how concentrated power shapes our lives, anger can become agency.

We hope to contribute a missing public infrastructure to democracy: a shared reality and set of goals. This is not about ideology. It is about giving people a usable map of cause and effect in their own lives. We exist to help society think clearly about itself again.
