Not your stereotypical Boomer. Veteran, mom, metal-head, and an avid gamer. A political wonk since we fought for the right to vote at 18. Democracy requires participation.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

100% We need to be focusing on stopping the destruction. We don't need campaign speeches about what Democrats will do if we vote out the Republicans. The fight is NOW, not next year.

Democrats need to hear what this woman is saying. What we are ALL saying. Use the same tenacity, the same viciousness in their fight as the Republicans. The old ways of the Democrats is not going to help us now. More likely they'll get us sucked into the Corporate takeover. youtu.be/16dESqS_Ogg?...

I want to buy some cotton/linen fabric to make a shirt. I found what I want online but it comes from Hong Kong. The seller doesn't collect U.S. tariffs. How do I get charged? How will I know whatever "bill" I get isn't some scammer?????? Guess I'm not buying squat until TACO man is out of office.

Ban congressional stock and crypto trading now. The American people overwhelmingly support it. Time to get it done.

With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?

Child labor laws are there for a reason. Corporations have to be held in check or they will freely use up every person they hire and toss them aside when they're finished using them. Are we entering a new age of Robber Barons? youtu.be/CKWcmMliLoA?...

We need a strong progressive populism: Break up big corporations, stop Wall Street’s gambling, big money out of politics, large companies share profits with workers, strengthen unions, raise taxes for the wealthy, to finance a universal basic income, Medicare for all, & paid family leave. -R Reich

I am still hunting for ANYONE on the Dem side with an actual plan of action other than donating to candidates for 2026 elections. I guess I’m alone over here. But I am not seeing leadership of any kind.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Well, here we are in the Houston area and the power went out last night. Not a storm. Just rain. It’s been randomly blinking off and on since the rain started yesterday evening. Our grid is such crap. Thinking now that my investment in a solar generator after Hurricane Beryl was well worth it.
