Fortunate to live in Portland, OR but I travel all over the place. Democracy, mental health, the outdoors & wildlife, music, baseball.

Millions of people rely on the information they obtain via a search engine corporation which just proved it would alter digital reality if instructed to do so by those in political power. That’s some crazy shit, Google.

Between now and the midterms, and probably well beyond, you'll hear endless chatter about 'Democratic extremism.' Don't believe the fearmongering.

They” didn’t leak Trump’s tax returns. An IRS contractor did - along with thousands of other tax returns - during Trump’s first term. Biden’s DOJ prosecuted the contractor, who got the max: 5 years in prison. This is shameful spin from SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.

The odds are better than normal that whoever's on the ballot as the Democrat in your district this November will win. So it's important this primary season to make sure that whoever that person is, they're committed to an aggressive agenda of reform and accountability once they take office.

When children are shot in their classrooms, all politicians can offer are thoughts and prayers. When a shooting happens near them, they demand a $350 million golden ballroom to protect themselves.
Don't normalize a system that protects power more than it protects children.

Every single thing about that inspiring and remarkable Artemis II mission, every achievement, success, message, skill, strength, trait, relationship, decision and human emotion, was a repudiation of everything Donald Trump exhibits and stands for. Do you think he knows that? #ArtemisII

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

Young Israeli teens burning draft letters they received. A perfect example of noncompliance that people can participate in to fight back against fighting a foreign war. This is similar to how veterans here in the US are encouraging soldiers to refuse to carry out unlawful orders. #Israel #Gaza

Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
