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.

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.

This is a huge win for the north west part of the Fort Worth / Dallas metroplex.
A swing like this state wide would make Texas Blue for sure.

This is a Russian drone stuck in one of those nets.
That is why frontline villages and cities in Ukraine cover roads with nets.
In the conditions of total war, these nets provide a chance for the survival of personnel, equipment, and logistics, as well as civilians.

Everyone that’s going to be convinced that Trump is a pedophile already fully knows it. The rest have wrapped it up in their religion in a way where anything, even child rape, can be excused or explained. They say God is testing us. Apparently having children raped is just part of that process.
