Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

The $ spent on US elections is wack. Appx 5.5 Billion (billion!!!) in 2024 races. For comparison in Canada, last elxn each party had a $30mil limit. Only 4 reached around that. Total overall was circa 172 Million (22 parties ran campaigns).

They have nothing. Nothing. They kidnapped a legal resident, shipped him across the country, denied access to his attorney, and are now trying to deport him. And their only justification for it is either protected speech or vague descriptions of alleged crimes committed by other people.

Trump is talking about ethnic cleansing and our top political reporters are all like "ooh, brazen!" www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/u...

I can’t stop thinking of how, before the election, NPR interviewed Palestinian-Americans in the Midwest voting for Trump because they (mistakenly) thought he'd have to be a change for the better given the arming & bombing under Biden’s watch. Obviously it wasn’t going to go as they hoped, but JFC.

I’m with you - I've never been so on edge about our state of the union before in my life. I’ll be sending emails and making calls tomorrow but I found a recipe for peanut butter brownies that I'm going to have to bake tonight!

Thinking about the effects of trauma (generational as well as sudden and catastrophic) on the collective/national level…🤔 Not seeing many books that aren’t focused on the individual level (therapy literature, self-help), but there’s this - looks interesting: www.routledge.com/Systemic-Int...

Glad you're here, Zawn! I’m a Patreon & Substack reader, admirer & supporter of all your work. It seems like a great alternative to the dumpster fire that X has become, while also not being under the Meta umbrella like Threads…Feeling hopeful for it being a safe & worthwhile online space 🌈

It stands to reason that Threads, as part of Meta, can’t be trusted with our data.

Yes, hopeful that this platform can be like early days Twitter, & hope it can build in better protections from bots, disinformation campaigns, and generally being a nightmare of a hostile, unsafe mess like [former-Twitter] sadly has been allowed to become, to all of our civic disadvantage.

First post 📝 11:35 PM, 11/12/24 - sitting in the dark in a power outage. Super blustery out. There was a gale warning for this part of the PNW. Using my remaining phone power to look around & add accounts. Grateful to Alex Winter for the tip! It's very refreshing over here! 🍹
