For our #democracy, I am currently watching the weekly online What's the Plan A Weekly Discussion with @indivisible.org Co-Founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin today Thursday, April 23th at 3 pm ET. I find these calls to be inspiring & helpful for #DemocracyInAction and to show #DemocracyMatters.

For our #democracy, recent statistic @pbsnews.org @pbs.org. I grew us as a fiscal balance budget deficit hawk conservative. Trump and the MAGA Republicans care nothing about our federal deficit and debt. Their tax cuts for the wealthy and decimating federal services are only making things WORSE!

Happy #EarthDay! For 3rd day in a row, I am charging and using my wife’s 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 EV to go to Hood River to knock on doors for my friend @nwpinpdx.bsky.social who is running for Oregon House District 52 and I think is a strong candidate for #climate and #environment. #ClimateAction

For #ClimateAction, I charged my wife’s Hyundai Ioniq 6 EV for the first time by myself today. It is so wonderful to use a car that does NOT require fossil fuels, oil & gasoline, for energy. Even more, this EV does NOT pollute the air and does NOT contribute to #climatechange when it is driven.

How One Candidate “Stepped In It” With Trade Unions While Discussing Data Centers Nick Walden Poublon told WW that he “stepped in it” while seeking the endorsement of the Oregon State Building and Construction Trades Council.

For #ClimateAction and our #democracy, I am proud to support @nwpinpdx.bsky.social in his campaign for Oregon House District 52. Recently, he spoke the truth to the trade unions about the environmental and #climate damage caused by data centers, even though the truth angered them. #DemocracyMatters

I stumbled across a ground breaking ceremony for a new fire station in Welches, Oregon last Saturday. Afterwards, I asked the firefighters the wrong question: ‘What are you going to do with those fancy gold shovels used in the ceremony?’ The fireman handed one to me and said, ‘Here! It’s yours!’

I hope you had a great Easter weekend. Last Saturday, I enjoyed stopping by the Jonsrud Viewpoint in Sandy, Oregon to get great views of Mt. Hood.

For our #democracy, I knocked on 50 doors in Welches, Oregon recently for @nwpinpdx.bsky.social who is running for OR House District 52. For #ClimateAction, it is vital we flip this seat. I bought a new pair of shoes recently b/c I will knock on a lot of doors this year for Nick & others. #climate

With the rise in gasoline prices, I am very happy my wife bought an EV last week. If you have the means to do so, please consider switching to an electric vehicle. #EVs #ElectricVehicles #CleanEnergy #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction #climate #OilCompaniesSuck

For our #democracy, #ClimateAction, and #CleanEnergy, the cost comparison of driving charging an EV vs. the amount equivalent to one gallon of gasoline. If you have the means to do so, please consider switching to an electric vehicle.

Pam Bondi out as attorney general, Trump says Trump has been increasingly frustrated with Bondi in recent days, sources told NBC News.

For our #Democracy, Wow! Donald Trump just fired Pam Bondi as Attorney General because he felt she was not fighting hard enough to target and prosecute his political enemies. Another sign Grandpa Trump is delusional and losing his grip on reality. #DemocracyMatters #DemocracyInAction

For our #democracy, a great recent political cartoon reminding us again to ‘Not obey in advance’ (to quote Historian Timothy Snyder) and to speak out and stay loud to push back against Trump acting like a DICK-tator. #DemocracyMatters #DemocracyInAction #NoKings #NoKingsInAmerica

Crater Lake sets a grim new record Oregon saw one of the warmest winters in recorded history this year.

For #ClimateAction, Crater Lake just set a new record low for their annual snowpack. Seeing the snowpack diminish when I worked seasonally there for 25 years (1992-2017) motivated me to be a full time #climate and #democracy organizer. Let's step up our game to reduce the threat of #climatechange.
