Empathy and cooperation made America great, lust for power and greed are destroying it.
Our downfall is the result of the oligarchs dividing us with a culture war so they can enrich themselves. We will rise again when we unite with empathy and cooperation.

Allow me to invite you to consider how this would be covered right now if Kamala Harris or Joe Biden were president.
Tens of thousands of people across Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana have gone a week without power or heat after a brutal ice storm. At least three dozen people have died in connection with the storm, officials have said.
Fear and Anger Grow as Thousands Remain Without Power in the South
More than 30 people have died across three Southern states in connection with last week’s storm, and thousands remain without power.

This is funny, but also brilliant. Once people go down the path (of any wrong decision), it is sooooo hard to turn back -- because it is tantamount to admitting you were foolish. As hard as it is, we need to offer soft landings and gentle off ramps (which is what we'd want too)

This 1980s song, "LUNATIC FRINGE", is prophetic about:

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.
But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is part of that global elite.
Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

A noteworthy takeaway from tonight's Texas result is that the Republicans spent a metric truckload of money on this race. They spent millions more than the Democrats. The loss itself aside, this is a gigantic, flashing warning sign for the GOP's finances.

The best part about this is Texas is in play and that means GOP resources are going to have to flood the state for them to have a chance.
If they flood Texas, this will cause droughts elsewhere and they will risk losing there too.
Come on Texas, let's get out the vote and crush the GOP.

Congratulations to my friend and our newest State Senator from Tarrant County, Taylor Rehmet! I met Taylor years ago through labor organizing.
Don’t tell us what can’t be done in Texas. When we show up #TexasTough, we change the game. Today we proved what we’ve known all along: Texas is in play.
