Lotsa enthusiastic supporters here in Houston for Gov Newsom and for Californians who voted for Prop 50.

Long line to get in to the Take It Back Rally today with Gov Newsom at the IBEW Hall

Help me reach my goal to feed my hungry election workers on Election Day, Nov 4, 2025. They work so hard at busiest polling location in Harris County from 5:30 am til about 8:30 pm or later depending on the lines. ko-fi.com/poppynorthcutt

Thanks for the props. 🥰

Bribery in plain sight.

So now the Orange One is renaming another gulf, this one not even in our hemisphere. He has already renamed a mountain. So what’s next? Oceans? Countries? Continents? Planets? Galaxies? Megalomania marches on. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social

"Apocalypse." "Catastrophe." That's how scientists are describing Trump's latest funding freeze. This war on science is an innovation-killer. Where does Trump think things like MRIs, computers, touch screens, GPS, mRNA vaccines, and the internet came from?

The American Astronomical Society (AAS) has made it easy for you to reach out to your local representatives asking them to sign a bipartisan Congressional letter advocating for continued funding of NASA's science portfolio. aas.org/urge-nasa-supp…

They were kids and cops and other victims of gun violence. Trump can take down their faces, but he’ll never erase memories of them. wapo.st/3Yu9wzH

Steven J. Hatfill, a virologist and White House adviser during Trump’s first term who pushed hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for Covid is now a special adviser at a small HHS agency responsible for preparing the U.S. for disasters such as pandemics and biological and chemical attacks. 😳

How out of it do you have to be to think that most little girls get 30 dolls for Christmas! Millions of little girls are thrilled to get one doll as a present. Sadly many of those little girls will be seeing a hard candy Christmas with the orange guy in office. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social

Yesterday’s turnout at my polling place was slightly better than I expected. We voted 11 people instead of my predicted 8 to 10. Not really surprising since we were in a very urban location for very suburban elections.

Tomorrow is election day. As usual I’ll be running a polling place. I like to provide food for the election workers since they get there at 5:30 am & work til about 8 pm. Would be great If you can pitch in a few $$ to help pay for this. ko-fi.com/poppynorthcutt

Am missing Dexter Dog, my workout buddy. Instead of my trainer kicking my butt, allergies have been doing that. 🤧 🤧 🤧

Protest Saturday March 29 noon at Tesla in League City

Going to be on a panel for Women’s History Month on KHOU TV tonight 10pm and tomorrow morning (short clip) Wednesday 4pm, Saturday 10 pm and on KHOU11+ stream thru March and then will live forever on YouTube.

At Harris County Democratic Party executive committee meeting. Great to see a full house here today. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social

Happy Pi Day, y’all.

If you’re able to see the total lunar eclipse later this week, just know that as you watch it, the new Blue Ghost lunar lander that @Firefly_Space landed last week will be taking a photo of you, on the Earth, eclipsing the Sun!

Such a comfort to know the Head of Homeland Security has solved our egg problems. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social

March 8.... Happy International Women's Day! We're celebrating the women who have changed the world. #WomensDay #WomensDay2025 #WorldWomenDay contactlight.de @poppynorthcutt.bsky.social

As we in Texas are fighting to protect our public schools from vouchers, a case before SCOTUS out of Oklahoma would do further damage. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social nytimes.com/2025/03/09/opi… via @NYTOpinion

Tonight @maddow.msnbc.com said Musk is taking an interest in the courts. Not news here in TX. He put millions into a PAC that ran attack ads against Dem state judges & pushed GOP judicial candidates. Result: losing Dem majorities on appellate courts in metro areas. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social

SCOTUS gave abortion clinics a rare win yesterday when they declined to take up a pair of cases seeking to challenge a decades-old decision limiting protesters’ actions near the entrances of abortion clinics. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is what Democrats are doing!

Have you written or called your Senators & House Member today? It’s easy to write them using @resist.bot . You can sign onto other folks’ letters or write your own & resistbot takes care of getting it to the right office holders. Just text RESIST to 50409. It’s free & easy. Non-fattening too.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Seeing what’s happening on the news reminds me more and more of William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies.” The descent into chaos is very rapid when leadership is in the hands of folks with the maturity level of teenage boys.

This is what happens when anti vaxxers are enabled. Right now GOP leadership is chief enabler in our state & nation. There are gonna needlessly be a lot of sick people, esp children & elderly, and many deaths because GOP electeds are won’t stand up extremist elements. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social

What's your guess?

The Christian Nationalist Plot to Disenfranchise Women Voters The SAVE Act, which purports to fend off the phantasmal threat of voter fraud, would throw millions of women off the voting rolls. newrepublic.com/article/1914...

I rarely watch tv other than news and the occasional documentary but am looking forward to this. The news these days is so painful to watch.

Finished up getting “certified” as an election judge here in Harris County on Tuesday. Am not clear on what this new certification program for election judges accomplishes vs the prior required training and testing but I am ready to go for May election. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social

Six federal prosecutors have more backbone than the whole of GOP senators.

In 1938, Leah Moncure made history by becoming the first woman in Texas to earn a professional engineering license. Moncure went on to work for the Texas Highway Department for 32 years, specializing in research, right-of-way and road design. www.txdot.gov/about/newsro...

Today is a good day to remember that “all politics is local” and to support your local democratic party with time and $$. Yesterday I added a $$ donation to my garage sale purchase & volunteered to do some work with a committee. My local party is @harrisdemocrats .

And we still have more! Desks, printers, office supplies! Drop by the office this week between 10-4! 4619 Lyons Ave.

Got my new Volunteer Deputy Voter Registrar certificate in mail today! Took about 2 wks after taking online class. No online classes available to become a VDVR in Harris Co over this weekend but becoming a VDVR is a great way to honor MLK. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social

At @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social headquarters picking up some things to use as table decorations when doing voter registration. Their garage sale is going on til 3 pm today. They have some furniture, office supplies, and misc stuff at really good prices. Especially good deals on some printers.

Thinking about the Equal Rights Amendment. I began writing and calling my senators and congressman (in those days there were hardly any congresswomen) asking them to pass the ERA out of Congress way back in 1970. When it finally got thru congress in 1972 I lobbied state legislators to ratify.

My smart, savvy, ethical, hardworking & generally wonderful state rep @voteannjohnson.bsky.social has been sworn into another term. With the #BillionaireBros so invested in controlling TX state govmt, it’s good to know I have a state rep who is unbought & unbossed. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social

Should be sleeping now but can’t miss the New Glenn launch. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C8fevCrKYw

C'mon Colleen, you've got nothing to lose now! #PublishEquality www.nytimes.com/2025/01/06/u...

Did my 1-hour training on Zoom today to recertify as a Volunteer Deputy Voter Registrar (VDVR) in Harris County along with about 30 others . It will take 5 to 10 days before we get our certificates in the mail & we can’t register folks til we receive the certificate. #TXVDVR

Wonder Woman laid down the rules way back in 1965, but no one listened. 😠

My mantra for 2025 is Don’t Agonize; Organize! My new year’s resolution is to continue being an everyday activist - with even more intensity. First up is getting recertified as a Volunteer Deputy Voter Registrar (VDVR). Doing that tomorrow with a 1-hour zoom class. @harriscodemocrats.bsky.social .

The personal is political. Next four years gonna be tough so we have to keep our strength up. At trainer’s working out.
