An engineer with a passion for energy access, a sensible antitrumper. Australian but living in Texas. #bluecrew | good trouble 👿 💙💙
Twitter refugee. Atheist. Swifty.
Texas deserves better than Abbott and Cruz.
No DMs. Views are my own.
Y’all, this is special list of all the best educators and healthcare professionals who have signaled to me that they want better for us all.
I’ve added some regular legends but I will add more healthcare and teaching professionals as I come across you. RP/comment if keen!

Credit where it is due. There has been a huge amount of optimism about democrats ending the house in November. I am thankful that people have held back on speculating wildly about whether Jeffries is who should become speaker when they do. That debate, too early, is toxic.
TEXAS IS IN PLAY!
Gina Hinojosa’s latest internal poll has her clocking Greg Abbott!
🔵 Hinojosa: 47%
🔴 Abbott: 45%
Why do internal polls matter? Campaigns use them to identify weaknesses, target persuadable voters, and this one reinforces recent public polls showing a VERY competitive race.
Just on Iran for a second. We’re not safe. The generation from the 70’s who’d peddled the “death to America” refrain and clung to power with violence were aging out. They were retiring and being replaced by a younger generation. They had heard the chant but hadn’t really LIVED it. Then USA bombed..
..girl’s schools, essential infrastructure, wantonly killing civilians with a shifting and patently criminal premise. They spewed a hateful and brainless parade of propaganda about the case for war that doesn’t hold water. Now, a new generation of Iranians have a vivid rationale to hate America.
The Iranian regime wasn’t the biggest threat to the USA when the bombs started dropping. Not even close. They will surely climb up that ladder of risks now though, and none of us should be surprised. It’ll take decades to rebuild trust even if the war stops tomorrow. Until then, we’re not safe.
I finally got my 3rd SP done!
Wow, I'm a slacker! If I missed anyone, let me know, and I can add a few more, or I'll try to stay on a roll and get another one going! 💙

Just thinking how deranged someone has to be to be angry about the heinous Cornell crimes and to still vote for the party which glazes someone a jury found to have committed sexual abuse.
How is this even mentally feasible?
Furious about this Cornell university frat story. I’m disgusted and sickened by the whole thing.
The 7, happily free and living their lives.
The 57 on the chat, who (probably) knew better and demonstrated straight up cowardice.
The faculty who did nothing. Accountability must come to them all.
I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life.
If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.
🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡
Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong.
Here's the whole sequence:

I love that she’s calling out their horseshit bad faith tactics. Even if it was a legitimate complaint, the current admin is GOP, so they brought it on.
Saw Jesse Welles, he’s very Dylan-esque. He sums the GOP far right up in “the nerd reich”:
‘When they nuke I-ran and Jesus don't come back
And your son's still gay and there's no cheap gas
When the vengeance of nations finally comes to port
Will you be bitching about men playing women's sports?’
No child from newborn on or any child around the world wants a KING! America’s children’ll begin to bury their king 11/03/26 & other children’ll be watching closely! Children need every sane Voter to see they’re fed, housed, provided healthcare & loved! youtu.be/quE2bNn9GBw?...go.bsky.app/2gESzR9
This is my Bring Back Sanity to America SP with the usual suspects and many new friends encountered along the way.
We need to bring back honesty, accountability, dignity, decency, integrity to our government.
We deserve politicians who work to protect the interests of the ppl.

Texans are good people. They treat each other with respect. This guy has no respect for us nor his own colleagues, nor the rule of law. Talarico seems like a really decent Texan, and that’s a huge difference!
IDK how anyone thinks Paxton is good for Texas. 21 people were murdered in Uvalde, including 19 children. Calling that part of God’s “plan” is beyond grotesque.
Some comments reveal more about a politician than any campaign ad ever could. This is one of them.
Autocoup (self-coup):
A legally elected leader seizes additional power by illegally dismantling or overriding the constitutional institutions that limit their authority. Systematic undermining of all branches of government that limit that person’s authority. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.
In a way, I’d find it both surprising that she’d been so corrupt all along, but it’s not off brand for someone who has voted to support Trump like 90% of the time… on key votes, she swung on his direction.
Going to be very interesting to see if this is what finally unseats her. If it's true, I certainly hope it does. Seems like an awful lot of smoke there so there's probably a pretty hefty fire down below.

Jill Stein is coming out. They never pay her to skew an election unless its a presidential election. They're dragging her out for the mid-terms this time. Do you smell desperation in the air? It's there. And that makes them all the more dangerous. Be safe, be smart, be aware.
