Took a trip to the MO state capitol today for a day of mental health advocacy.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks. They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors. Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption. Watch how they vote this week.

EV batteries are outperforming expectations - decade-old and older EVs are overwhelmingly on their original batteries and those with 150,000 miles or more are getting at least 83% of their original range. "These batteries are built to outlast the cars." www.npr.org/2026/03/02/n...

Trump will wall off Big Bend National Park in TX - one of America’s truly wild landscapes - by bulldozing the law. Federal documents show DHS signed waivers stripping away 28 environmental protections to fast-track construction. Clean air, clean water, endangered species sidelined for a border wall.

I want to do my part in raising awareness. Texas's Big Bend is set to receive new border security infrastructure, including >100 mi of border wall cutting through Big Bend National Park. Kristi Noem just waived 28 environmental protection laws and regulations to expedite this construction. 🧵 1/4

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

The facts suggest two interpretive frameworks for Iran: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the U.S. Join my live conversation with @phillipspobrien.bsky.social, 12:00pm ET, snyder.substack.com

Trump’s bombing of Iran is reckless and a direct threat to American and Iranian lives. Launching military strikes without congressional authorization or evidence of an imminent threat is not strength. It is an abuse of power. Tell your Members of Congress to put an immediate stop to this war.

Being able to drive as ourselves and use the correct bathroom are essential to basic everyday life — they aren't privileges afforded to only people who aren't transgender. We're suing the state of Kansas.

We have been misled. We thought that in the USA we had a Senate and a House of Representatives which might be involved in initiating any act of war. Apparently not. Now what???

Here is Senator Adam Schiff’s report “Armed for Violence”. ICE and CBP are becoming a new, heavily armed, and poorly trained police force. A new police force fiercely loyal to Trump plus a fast increasing number of detention centers — a really scary prospect. www.schiff.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

According to the MIT living wage calculator, a single adult with no children needs to make $22.75 an hour working f/t to pay for typical expenses.

Kansas foster care agencies, judges and law enforcement are trying to close this gap in state law that sends high needs youth with criminal behaviors to foster care agencies instead of proper treatment programs.

Ukraine’s shift toward a more distributed energy system, including rooftop solar and battery systems, makes it harder to disable completely and usually quicker to repair. Renewable energy and decentralized generation provide a critical advantage because they do not depend on continuous fuel supply.
