Paul Now Podcast

Facebook used to be a place to see your friends and family updates, it's become a treasure chest of anything but. 

what's the state of affairs in texas, it's cold and damp and abbott is shitting himself, fearing the power stays on. rants about color contacts and natural eye color. addictions are a mother fucker, and more.

what is the state of America? will we continue to have open and free elections or will the Republican Party, controlled by cooperate interests, finally win? As a nation we are so quick to determine the fall of democratic governments all of the world, but when it comes to our own, we are paralyzed. we have a two system party where the other believes in conspiracies. a country can't survive if half the nation thinks jfk jr is still alive. as if the most liberal democrat to hold office would have any affiliation with these folks. they literally tried to turn democracy pass tense.  

what does the future hold for us? we don't know till it happens. we can make sense of it once it's happened. in this episode I talk about the past couple years, the challenges and what it takes to make a change. 

History doesn't forget. people forget, which is why we leave records. we have books, audio, video. what's happening in texas is what happened in failed states throughout history. the people in charge see the end times and do everything they can to hold on to power. it's always a sad and fleeting way to exit, but time and time again, the only way the powerful know. it never works. American history shows the power of people. when people rise up things change. half of this country is sleeping and we might finally bend the curve and end up in some dystopian form of governance. 

in this episode I give you a couple ideas on what to do this halloween weekend. I talk about the gay community and the importance of it. Why hating the 'gay scene' is just internalized homophobia. if texas legislation comes for us next, and they will,  I have a few ideas how to fight. as a community we've come so far so fast, we will not go backwards. not even in this state. 

Women across Texas woke up in a paradox of what the American Constitution stands for and what a handful of old white men want. Every women you know now has less rights than you. They no longer have control over their body, or as the right wing in this country calls it, a vessel. If this law isn't struck down, we are on a dark path to absolute rule.

happy pride y'all. lets see what we can get out of this capitalist economy while its offering best wishes, by July, they won't give a fuck about us. buy your rainbow shit from local gays. do not support these companies. we are not here for them. 

we are also not here for the texas government, they taking back rights. it's not going to happen in this state. we fight. democrats are moving here everyday. you should hashtag #fuckabbott if you feel your rights are being taken away.   

this week Paul talks about a recent poll from the texas tribune. how texas is much more progressive than its law makers. 

Life spent in sweats and leggings is no life at all. What will become of fashion after the covid weight and lack of human influence? It's time to move past fast fashion and find a style that works for you. We've all outgrown the magazines and intsa influencers telling us what would look good on us. It's time to move on from fashion and find the style that lives inside you.
