My views vary by issue but lean progressive. I’m open to compromise to restore balance and get legislation passed.

4 PG&E outages in 2 days. 102° in Bakersfield is mild, stop blaming weather. If you can’t handle the heat, get out of the business. I’m not paying premium rates to sit in the dark and swelter—while my solar sits useless thanks to weak U.S. battery tech.

To every Dem campaign flooding my inbox: Stop begging for $$ and start pitching a plan. I’m not an ATM—I’m a voter with a brain. Show me a strategy, then maybe you’ll get the swipe.

Progress isn’t over—it’s just being challenged. As Pinker says in Enlightenment Now, reason, science & humanism have moved humanity forward. Trump is just a bump in the road. Our job now? Defend those values, push through the noise, and keep progress on track. The future is still ours to shape.

Some of our biggest challenges come from systems we invented—capitalism, religion, even nationhood. They’re imagined realities we’ve agreed to believe. The good news? What we imagine, we can also reimagine. That’s where real change begins.

Most political fights today are really about economic pain. But shout “capitalism’s broken” and the right yells “socialism!” Truth is, no country runs on pure capitalism or socialism—we’ve always lived in the mix. Time to debate fixes, not fear words.

If “AOC to Buttigieg” is the barometer of progressive thought, most Americans already agree with the values that span that range. They differ in style, not in purpose. So why can’t Dems build a platform that bridges that spectrum and wins big?

Trump’s fossil-fuel noise is mostly bluster—what really matters is whether we cede the race with China. Short‑term: use courts & protests to stall. Long‑term: focus on winning the House in 2026. That’s how we keep the edge. The Stone Age did not end because we ran out of stones- green will win

Kristi Noem and Kash Patel are cunts. #elbowsup
Kristi Noem says the Canadian border is swamping the US with El Salvadorean gangs.
Kash Patel claims terrorists are based in Canada.
And a Canadian died in ICE Captivity.
South Park was a funny movie. It's a dismal regime.
Please watch my latest press conference.

With NIH funding getting chopped, who needs science? Just pee under a tree:

🌾 Dead grass = high salt
🔥 BBQ smell = cholesterol

Modern medicine, GOP edition.

When the far left and far right agree on something—like the recent backlash on Iran—it’s often a red flag, not a breakthrough. Extremes rarely offer real solutions. Progress comes from pragmatists willing to work the middle and face complexity head-on.

Just keep sharing until it breaks the internet and right wing media is forced to take notice. No words are necessary
THEY F*CKING TOOK THE ICE CREAM MAN! The photo says it all.
Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.

Trump’s MAGA ticket ran on “crime, immigration & waste”—but ICE data shows <10% had violent records, DOGGE found zero fraud, and now the Iran “crisis” is just more empty rhetoric. No more fake wars. When the facts collapse, what will they go to war with next? #NoMoreWars #FactsMatter

Yes, No Kings was massive—5M strong. But even if the 3.5% rule is just a theory, it reminds us: real change needs scale. We’re not getting there by rallying more on the left. The next wave has to come from the center and right. Time to think strategy, not just volume.

Less than 20% of Americans say defense is a priority—yet Congress keeps writing blank checks. The disconnect between public will and Pentagon spending shows who really runs the show—and it’s not the people.
Infographic: How Important Is Defense to Your Country?
This chart shows the share of respondents from selected countries who said the issue of defense was important for their country in 2024.

Trump’s team gambled on the lie that most undocumented immigrants are criminals. Reality didn’t back them up—so now they’re going after the innocent and inventing stories to keep fear alive.

No Kings will rise—and we won’t bow. The protest brings mass, but mass isn’t a mission. Trump plays a weak hand in LA. This is our opening—not for more whining, but defining. Let’s rise not just in fury, but with vision, with purpose, with a future worth fighting for.

Trump has no clue about California—how our water flows, why we fight for clean air, or why we stand up for hardworking people, legal or not. He sure doesn’t get climate change. We do things different out here. California, time to rise up.
