Innovate-Educate-Collaborate. Focus on the three to bring about change for the greater good in the state of Indiana
This is big: elected Republicans in a deep-red state saying NO to Trump even after his personal plea.

The balance is shifting - and we have to keep up the pressure everywhere.
Indiana likely will not push forward with redistricting despite pressure from White House
It’s a massive blow to the White House’s efforts to shore up a Republican House majority next year.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

"As of today, Dominion is gone," the company said in a press release on Thursday. "Liberty Vote assumes full ownership and operational control." Dominion's website now redirects to libertyvote.com. A trump MAGA supporter. What could go wrong with that?

Louis J Putz CSC would often say to groups of people he was meeting and at the beginning of a homily, "YOU...Are Church!" Do we understand that means we are the face, hands, and feet of solidarity with each other?

What if Jesus really meant what he said? After 2000 years have we twisted and turned the words to only match our false self? Do we even know today our true self? Do we even grasp the meaning of the kingdom of heaven on earth? Have we learned anything from the prophets of the last 2K years?

Sen. Dick Durbin facing backlash once again for joining GOP in measure to end government shutdown
Three candidates vying for Durbin's seat had strong words, including Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, who directly criticized the senator's vote. "We need fighters in D.C.," she said, "not folders."

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

Trump will say that now “even the Democrats agree” with him and he was “right all along.” Over a month of brutal pain was inflicted on the American people, and now he’ll claim it was “all the Democrats’ fault” and “they finally came to their senses.”

Senate Dems capitulated to MAGA last night when they voted to reopen the government in exchange for a “promise.” And what did Lenin say about promises? "Promises are like pie crust, they are made to be broken."
