Photo of a stone wall from the MO state capital says "Party honesty is party expediency"

Took a trip to the MO state capitol today for a day of mental health advocacy.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Democratic voters in Texas scramble to find polling place amid precinct voting switch Early voting had been countywide and saw record Democratic turnout, but the switch to precinct-only locations left many voters showing up at the wrong spot and being turned away.

🚨BREAKING: Hundreds of Democratic voters in Dallas and Williamson Counties, Texas scrambled to find their polling places Tuesday after the local Republican parties refused to hold a joint primary — ending more than a decade of convenient countywide voting. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Democracy protection event sign says No War We the People Do Not Consent

Made this after the Venezuela stunt. Getting lots of use out of it.

How long do electric vehicle batteries actually last? When the modern electric vehicle was still in its infancy, drivers worried that vehicles would need expensive battery replacements within a few years. But battery lifespans are exceeding expectations.

EV batteries are outperforming expectations - decade-old and older EVs are overwhelmingly on their original batteries and those with 150,000 miles or more are getting at least 83% of their original range. "These batteries are built to outlast the cars." www.npr.org/2026/03/02/n...

Trump will wall off Big Bend National Park in TX - one of America’s truly wild landscapes - by bulldozing the law. Federal documents show DHS signed waivers stripping away 28 environmental protections to fast-track construction. Clean air, clean water, endangered species sidelined for a border wall.

Texas' Big Bend braces for border wall in national park, worrying local Republicans and Democrats Locals say the rugged land is enough of a barrier and they're concerned about the impact on the environment and homeowners as the Department of Homeland Security forges ahead.

I want to do my part in raising awareness. Texas's Big Bend is set to receive new border security infrastructure, including >100 mi of border wall cutting through Big Bend National Park. Kristi Noem just waived 28 environmental protection laws and regulations to expedite this construction. 🧵 1/4

How to stop a dictator I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

How To Stop The Dictator
Part 2

In Brazil, South Korea, and Poland, Dictators tried and failed to overthrow Democracy.

The population fought back and won.

What strategies worked?

Why is nonviolence so important?

Same self-dealing playbook leaving The People with the aftermath

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

The facts suggest two interpretive frameworks for Iran: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the U.S.

Trump’s bombing of Iran is reckless and a direct threat to American and Iranian lives. Launching military strikes without congressional authorization or evidence of an imminent threat is not strength. It is an abuse of power.

Tell your Members of Congress to put an immediate stop to this war.

Being able to drive as ourselves and use the correct bathroom are essential to basic everyday life — they aren't privileges afforded to only people who aren't transgender.

We're suing the state of Kansas.

We have been misled. We thought that in the USA we had a Senate and a House of Representatives which might be involved in initiating any act of war. Apparently not.

Now what???

Join Peggy’s Pantry KC tomorrow to protest CoreCivic and have lunch in Leavenworth, KS. 💙

The Soft Suspension of Habeas Corpus ICE is ignoring habeas corpus orders so routinely that a federal judge is threatening criminal contempt. New filings from Minnesota show what a de facto suspension of due process looks like.

"And what should be alarming isn’t just whether the Trump administration will try to officially suspend habeas corpus for immigration purposes, it’s whether the Trump administration already is de facto suspending habeas corpus by strategically overwhelming the courts..." substack.com/home/post/p-...
