I say "Farewell" with a heart full of gratitude and hope for our future.  After two wonderful years of community and great conversation, Dressed for the Protest is going away to make room for new opportunities and ways to engage in our great democracy.  Thank you to all who made this a special place.

Fresh out of my Constitutional Law class, I walk through impeachment, the process, what the law says and what it DOESN'T say.  

Adam Selby and I chat again about the latest Democratic Presidential candidate debate and all the latest in the political horserace. This is the most meaningful election of our generation, so we hash out all the petty and not-so-petty differences between the candidates. VoteBlueNoMatterWho!

My conversation with Texas House District 106 Democratic candidate Jennifer Skidonenko focused on motherhood, her community, and her sensible solutions on guns, schools, and activism.

Oh, and we found a mutual love for Beto!

Come to her campaign launch! 

Last week I sat down with Angela Brewer, the Democratic candidate for Texas House District 64.  We chat about her vision for Denton families, healthcare, and how she learned to be resilient in community action at a VERY young age! 

Join me and my family at her campaign launch this Friday (9/6) at 6pm - its a carnival!

Too much news, not enough time!  Olivia sets a timer and goes off on the latest news, issues, and, frankly, failures of the current American political scene.

I sat down over coffee with civil rights attorney and candidate Delia Parker-Mims.  Delia is running for the Denton County Commissioners Court, Seat 3, and shared her vision of the County Commissioners helping the citizens of Denton achieve their potential. We talk about voting rights, her work in Legal Aid and other civil rights issues, and how to support women of color running for office.  

Join me at her campaign launch this Friday!

I talked with Denton County Democratic Party Chair Angie Cadena in the kitchen at the DCDP headquarters.  She shared with me her growth in leadership, perspectives on diversity and inclusion, and the challenges to leadership in the "Big Tent" party.

That's a lot of candidates...I chat with regular DFTP pundit Adam Selby about the two Democratic Presidential debates.  What was inspiring, who made crazy eyes at Beto, and who is really, really not going to win.

In this update on the Denton Commissioners Court redistricting battle, I go into the latest on the Commissioners tactics and what we can do to stop them.  Thanks to Denton County Democratic Party Chair Anjelita Cadena for giving us her plan, too.
