Blueish, my podcast, is here!
kicked it off by having a conversation with Reggie Greer—where I got to ask him why the Democrats keep using Obama’s playbook nearly 20 years later, why Democrats fail to legislate with urgency, and where does the Party go from here.
it’s a good one.
every day i tell someone that texas democrats need you to come and re-shape the messaging!
always gotta keep you a little humble 🤣
thinking of Amos, Henry and Barbara (baby Collie), Lewis and Melinda, and the rest of my ancestors and family across Galveston, Brazoria, Polk, and Kaufman counties.
happy Juneteenth to my fellow Black Texans🖤
you’re okay… 😏

huge ty to @orbitbooks.bsky.social for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest review!
John Cornyn is a loyalist, but he’s forgettable. Because he’s up against a literal criminal, he’s now publicly joining the circus so he doesn’t lose his seat. Who can be the most terrible is how to describe this republican primary race 🫠
It’s going to be a long, rough year.
I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.
This is the center-left strategy worldwide. Attempt to beat your opposition by parroting and therefore crediting your opposition's claims. It's a proven failure morally and electorally:

dwayne wade ate when he said “the high road has run out of real estate” and i think about it often.
We wouldn't be heading into the fascist abyss were it not for Justice Roberts and his Federalist Society colleagues. The Roberts may throw up yield to Trump revving the engine & risking going off road but that's cause Roberts is steadily steering us toward control by the billionaires.
lent is just me spending 40 days and 40 nights googling contents of sonic drinks to see if it counts as a soda or candy. the answer is always yes.
People change their minds. And it is, in fact, the job of political campaigns to change them.
the reality for democrats is that it’s not an either/or when it comes to decorum and fighting back — it’s an AND.
democrats have to hit hard and disrupt, while also “playing” the game for harm reduction.
neither side will win alone. there *has* to be a middle ground.
i really hope democrats leave the beltway to talk with and listen to voters.

No. The winter meeting is on Feb. 1st.
On 2/1/25, ~448 members of the Democratic Party will vote on the Party’s new leadership and vision that will decide WHO and WHAT Dems fight for.
If you care even a little bit about the who or what, I urge you to reach out to YOUR state’s chair and vice chair to ask them who they’re voting for.
