Something to keep in mind…

We are now in the midst of the 6th extinction,
with a very rapid destruction of other species
and of the kind of environment in which they can survive,

Danny O’Connor lost Ohio's 12th by less than 1% in a very conservative district, but he wasn't a progressive by any measure.

Michigan

After all that has happened people are foolish enough to still believe elections are an answer?

I am 82 years old and fighting congestive heart failure among other candidates to be my end. I sit here and read the childish recitations bout how we will solve problems by winning elections. I wonder if these people slept through my lifetime and especially the past three years.
