I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.
I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

A lovely evening of fine singing.
Had a pleasant evening at the Goethe Institute enjoying an opera gala.

Love you ❤️
A bit of spontaneous romanticness resulted in a night at a hotel and a rooftop valentine's dinner. Some lovely food and wine to ease our path into a week in Chiang Rai.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

We need more engineers & immigration policy should facilitate that.
We also need many other workers, in health care, construction, small business, etc.
Since our founding, immigrants with all sorts of skills have made the U.S. a better place.
Let’s not pretend only tech immigrants are worthy.
