Below is the full blurb from @hcrichardson.bsky.social. "How Russia Won" is the full account of Putin's decade-long assault on US politics (often to help Trump) & Trump's aiding and abetting of that attack by denying it's happening. Go to HowRussiaWon.com to learn more or to order the book.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to inspire voters of good conscience to get to the polls and to sow seeds of hope, while retaining righteous anger. The drum beat of doom creates a crestfallen Body Politic and, as in any battle, good morale makes more effective warriors

I'm going to be basing a LOT of my voting and decisions on whether or not to contribute to a candidate on how they treated/spoke about President Biden and Vice President Harris during the 2024 election cycle. This will bug some of the usual suspects I'm sure, but I'm beyond caring what they think!

Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas.
"There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.

That's not something that any history book
