If we’re unable to organize politically, freely contest political decisions, peacefully and democratically vie for power, then we no longer live in a democracy. At that point, we’re once again subjects. That’s why we’re fighting so hard for our rights in TX. www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outl...

Back on Bluesky (to stay), wanted to share what I’m up to. Held a town hall in Charlotte (see below) earlier in the week. There’s power in people coming together and listening to one another. If you get a chance to watch some of it, let me know what you think. www.youtube.com/live/cRettGN...

After several years of work I fully transitioned my home off of fossil fuels. Heat pump HVAC, heat pump hot water, induction stove, and electric cars. Most difficult step: having PG&E upgrade my underground service in SF to 200A. That took years.

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back. I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.
