I had some context for @hcrichardson.bsky.social 's last #ChetArthur rabbit hole thanks to #TwoMoons by #ThomasMallon. Not necessarily my new favorite, but it puts you pretty neatly in the US at that time. Some cool #ScienceHistory too

The most ordinary man imaginable came to my home state to tell me to ‘get out of America’ while he & Absent Ashley enjoyed the comfort of buildings my ancestors helped build. Imagine standing on the shoulders of the ppl who built this country & then telling their descendants they don’t belong here/2

Heartbreaking & frustrating in equal measure. I don't want to just stand by, but especially from across the ocean, what can I reasonably do? I vote, I call/message my #CongressCritters, I protest when there's one on... Suggestions welcome! #MeltTheICE #cowardICE www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Just having another set of eyes to go over the instructions can be hugely helpful and move a voter from apathy to action. And some states suck and make it hard, so connecting the voter to help resources at www.votefromabroad.org can get voters over the hump. Thanks for reading my screed.

Was listening to #BR24 yesterday (German radio) and an interviewee mentioned an "English saying" (I think he said "englisches Sprichwort"), namely: “There is no glory in prevention” Has anyone else ever heard this?? Apparently it was quoted in the German media a bit back in #CoronaTimes 🤷‍♀️

I don't know any context or background, so I hope I'm not misstepping when I say #TerellWright is super brave to go talk to the owner of a T*ump merchandise store 🙌 Really hope it wasn't too awful for him 🙏 Good to know business for the store is down!

Probably very close to doxxing myself 😋 but I am loving how they've "spelled" my last name 😆 No idea why this has started happening (they previously spelled it correctly, this is in just the last 2 newsletters) and I've reached out so they can find the bug. #TomKeanJr #NJ07 #CongressmanKean

Why is any news outlet still reporting _any_thing T*ump says?? Or "truths" or whatever? He is completely unreliable and untrustworthy. I know as POTUS he's still newsworthy, but yeesh, there must be a better way to indicate the lack of credibility

With 45 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Hard agree. I've said it before to my #NJ senators #CoryBooker and #AndyKim: don't take your elections for granted. I believe a lot of votes for Dems is because they're the only viable option for stopping #MAGA / #Trumpers. #RuleOfLaw #accountability

I firmly believe that #RepresentativeTomKean doesn't want to be a politician. I imagine he got into it b/c of family pressure / lack of other options, but the lack of in-person town halls and his prolonged absence disqualify him from future service. #TomKeanJr #ThomasKean

The website has a help function if you need help navigating the vagaries of your particular state. If you've never voted before, it's not too late to start! Even if you _have_ voted before, remember you need to re-register every year #WhatADrag #ButItsImportant #VoteFromAbroad #Midterms2026

For me, the death of the #RepublicanParty I grew up with was when their platform in 2024 was simply to reelect T*ump. That's not a viable representative party; that is a cult, authoritarianism, fascism, I don't know what to call it, but it's not a group deserving support.
