I am calling on Governor Abbott to stop facilitating what is happening in MN, TX, and all over this country.

ICE raids are being driven by corruption, cruelty, and profit for his donors.

It’s past time for us to return to decency.

As red state Texas braces for yet another catastrophic winter storm, lying cowardly bigot Rafael Ted Cruz was spotted on a flight to yet another tropical getaway, this time Laguna Beach instead of Cancun.

This evil subhuman is what many in Texas wanted to represent them. Enjoy.

“Well, I hope I’m militant. I think it is possible to be militantly nonviolent.” — Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Nonviolence is not weakness.
It is disciplined resistance to injustice, rooted in courage and care.

Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa has died.

Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned from Congress last night.

A special election in Texas on Jan. 31 will put in another Democrat in office.

Mike Johnson's House majority is almost non-existent. Next month, he can only lose one vote.

It isn’t about drugs and only partly about oil. It’s about Russia and US authoritarianism. Please watch.

It's vital to state clearly that the push for renewable energy is about more than protecting the planet (which is reason enough.)

You can't manufacture scarcity with renewable energy. You can't as easily limit access to it. It's not about availability and efficiency, it's about capital and control.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS

For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.

That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

There are now seven countries powered entirely by renewable energy.

Albania, Bhutan, Nepal, Paraguay, Iceland, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo—generate over 99.7% of their electricity from hydro, geothermal, solar and wind.

Global energy transition is happening and unstoppable.

I’ve thrown in the towel on outdoor holiday lights. They’re made so poorly now that none will last. In the quest for profits they’ve ended up cutting me out of their market entirely. Enough is enough. I’m not playing that game anymore.
