How good it is to hear so many voices speaking truth to power, showing courage in the face of serious threats, and speaking for all those whose voices are ignored. Thank you, Jim Hightower and Beto (who should have been president) and the fearless journalists who are joining them! You give us hope!
A good exchange even with typos! But one quibble. It really irks me when people describe the Democrats breaking quorum as “running away” or “fleeing” it makes it seem cowardly. It is not and that narrative should be pushed back on & corrected, every time. It took courage and sacrifice to leave the state and their families to make the point.
They stood against authoritarian overreach. The bravery to stand up for what is right should never be denigrated. Thank you for always standing up for us Mr Hightower.
The fact that of the registered voters, both candidates for the 2024 U.S.A. Prestential Elections lost as the 1/3 that voted other or did not vote shows that the living voters 2/3 majority support handed US of America proof that the government election process needs to be examined and updated. Face it, nobody won in 2024 but the current administration, backed by S.C.O.T.U.S., is working on fixing that for their taking the paperwork purgatory straight to hell. Demand an Interim U.S.Presidential Administration that is representative of the registered voters U.S. Senator Bernard Sanders I-VT acting President, Walz and Vance as the two Vice Presidents and then figure out how to come up with a fair system that would be good for the life supporting habitat, planet Earth, so on with the show, good health to you!
2020 redistricting made GOP districts 55-45 easy wins for GOP incumbents. Gerrymander was possible by making districts ~51-49. Any margin <5% is winnable, with hard work and the right candidate. Time to roll up our sleeves!

Yes, yes!
Florida can’t be far behind Texas. We don’t vote either. God made Texas so Florida won’t look so bad. ✌🏾
Thanks
I'm forwarding this article to everyone I know who has an interest in Democracy, and that is everyone I know!
Fine interview, Jim, good point but would be so much better to read if a real person, not AI, did the transcription! Many nonsensical words...
