Living in Houston, I’m a liberal-minded, deeply spiritual individual who thrives on heavy bass music & the club scene. I love furniture stores, coffee shops, small cafes, Houston’s culture & food. Biking, jogging, & time with my dog keep me grounded.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

George Floyd was murdered by police five years ago today.

The Say Their Names cemetery in Minneapolis features memorials for Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Korryn Gaines, Freddie Gray and far too many more Black people who died at the hands of police.

Sink the USS Project 2025 ship.

Neo-fascism, Christian nationalism, is not acceptable in a democratic Republic, such as ours.

We do not want a government, like Iran, ruled by religion, with courts and laws like the Old Testament.
With the media and schools muzzled by thought police.
Trump is trying to bludgeon us into accepting the tactics and imagery of fascism: Forced disappearances, renditions to foreign gulags, the ritual humiliation of hated enemies within.

That's why it's so crucial that the middle is rejecting it.

Trump Is Suddenly Bleeding Independents. A Brutal New Poll Shows Why.
Immigration was his best issue in the polls. But now he’s sinking on it. Maybe Americans care about the rule of law after all.

The President said of the U.S. economy: "We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it."

And then... I lost it.
