October 17 is a nationwide NO KINGS day of action ahead of the midterms. There are rallies taking place all over the country to promote early voting and make sure every eligible voter has a plan, knows their options, and is ready to make their voice count. Find an event: www.nokings.org

People are tired of having to choose between gas and groceries, because both are too expensive thanks to Donald Trump’s war in Iran. They are tired of stretching to pay for rent and for daycare and for health care, when the cost of each is climbing but the paycheck has not budged.

This is why I don’t use Twitter/X. This is why I don’t drive a Tesla. This is why I don’t use Starlink. This is why I don’t have Tesla power at home. This is why I declined a job inquiry from Neuralink. All the dollars that are going to those companies support an absolute monstrosity of a man.

I live in an over 55 apartment complex. On November 3, I'll be helping at least 4 new people to register to vote and vote. So many people here simply don't vote at all. I'm providing transport too. This is really our last chance.

I urge you to support Ilhan Omar’s campaign for reelection. If Democrats regain control of the House, they must investigate this flagrant abuse of power against her by Trump, Vance, and the Department of Justice. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-a…

Got my ballot in the mail today, filled it out, hopped on my bike & rode about a mile to my local library and placed my ballot in the drop box out front. In a couple of days I'll receive a text that'll read, "Your ballot was received and will be counted. Thank you for voting." It's just that easy.

I know many of you are paying attention to what is happening in TX. Real blue wave potential in TX. Consider supporting these competitive candidates: Hinojosa (Gov), Talarico (Sen.), Pulido (TX-15), Gonzalez (TX-34), Cuellar (TX-28), Garcia (TX-35), Stout (TX-23). Whoa! Knocking at the door! In TX!

Talarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. People are concerned. He has asked for proof of life from me. I'm asking for proof of spine from him.
