DC good trouble 💙

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.

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..

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.
