It’s time we LISTEN to the people, not the parties. It’s time we BUILD a better government that works for all Americans. It’s time we RUN morally grounded individuals that believe in fairness. It’s time we have a working democracy.
Most elections are decided before a single vote is cast. Not in a booth. In a back room. With a map. Two parties lying about supporting you. This isn’t democracy. It’s performance. And it’s working exactly as designed.
There was a time when you could say “both parties are wrong” and still be taken seriously. Now that gets called weakness. But maybe clarity isn’t weakness. Maybe it’s the beginning of courage.
We’ve been told this is just what politics is now. The shouting. The shaming. The purity tests. But that’s not strength. That’s a system out of ideas. We’ve done better. We *can* do better.
There was a time when you could disagree and still get lunch after. Now, question your party and you’re called a traitor. That’s not democracy. That’s indoctrination. We didn’t choose this - the legacy parties did to maintain control. …But we don’t have to pass it down.
It wasn’t always like this. We used to argue over ideas, not identities. Now disagreement makes you the enemy. This chaos isn’t normal. It’s been engineered to divide us. And those that pushed it, the legacy parties, only win if we let them.
They want you to feel alone. But millions of us are thinking the same thing. We’re not alone. We’re just waiting for a voice to bring us together.
The myth: the middle is where ideas go to die. The truth: it’s where ideas survive, get tested, and improve. Compromise isn’t weakness. It’s leadership.
Both parties are acting like the country only has two choices: 🟥 Retreat into a fictionalized past 🟦 Sprint into ideological purity If you don’t pick a side, they call you confused. But choosing neither extreme? That’s courage. ...and that is the new direction.
We didn’t change. We still believe in hard work, kindness, and fairness. The parties twisted themselves and told us “we” were the problem. We’re not. We’re the proof something better still exists.
Congress just advanced the most dangerous bill you’ve never heard of. H.R. 1526 would block courts from issuing nationwide injunctions—even against unconstitutional laws. This is how you dismantle democracy with a pen. #HR1526 #NoRogueRulingsAct #USPolitics #ChecksAndBalances
Can we please acknowledge that @RepDeanPhillips was right back in the spring? All the soul-searching now needs to start with the fact we ignored the messenger.
Those who stand up and say “Send me” deserve to be honored today. From my great uncle that served in WWII and survived being a POW, my father who served just before Vietnam, & to my brother who served in Bosnia - Thank You! You showed me how to serve honorably. #VeteransDay

This is what Berkeley, CA looks like today @ 11am due to the smoke. Thankfully there is a heavy marine layer on the ground so you actually can’t smell the smoke - just looks apocalyptic. That said, there is a thin layer of ash on the ground. @cnnbrk @NWS #Fire #climatechange
Despite the downsides, the beauty of virtual school is you can tack on a lesson on geology, history, and the environment with an experience they will never forget... #environment #school #education #experience
