You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union. If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.

In New Mexico, we have a chance right now to pass the Clear Horizon Act to ensure clean air, land and water for generations to come. The oil & gas industry has killed every bill like this in the past… and they are trying to kill the Clear Horizons Act this year, too. Will we let them?

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. Do I have this right?

This brings me to the toughest part: the fact that we are on our own. Institutions that assured us they would be in the fight for democracy are already backing down. People who claimed they saw Trump clearly for what he is now have voluntarily put blinders in front of their own eyes.

Arguably one of Jimmy Carter's greatest achievement is bringing the world to the brink of eradicating the Guinea Worm. From 3.5m cases a year in the 80s to less than 15 the last few years. It's an astounding public health achievement.

Folks think Musk and Trump are engaged in politics, but this is a military operation being executed out of Moscow. If you are playing politics right now, you literally have brought a butter knife to a gun fight.
