Look at a (paper) map beforehand (or talk to a person who knew the route) and then write directions out in big, clear step-by-step instructions on a piece of paper I could glance at as I was driving. Or someone could read it to me if I wasn’t alone. Sometimes had to stop at a gas station for help.

Walberg was my rep until redistricting. He’d occasionally show up in my small town for a “town hall” in the middle of a workday, only pre-inform supporters, & be long gone before anyone else knew. I did manage to go to one, where questions had to be submitted upon arrival & were filtered for him.

He already had my vote, but… wow. (Incidentally this is how, as a teacher, I get the best results with students and parents who are upset and resisting doing all sorts of things I am certain will be helpful: clear, patient, honesty, and listening. I really hope I get to have him as my senator.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

Nobody will remember: -Your job -How busy you were -How many hours you worked. People will remember: -Fun shark facts you taught them. Here’s my favorite: Greenland sharks, which can live to be over 400 years old, eat (probably scavenging) polar bears and reindeer.

Heads up, Bookworms: There will likely be💀supply chain issues💀 this holiday season. So if there are specific books you have your heart set on for holiday gifting, I strongly suggest you buy/order them ahead of time (✨like now✨) rather than waiting until November/December.

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines. So people must mail back with plenty of time.

boltsmag.org

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts

A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.

(1/5) If you normally vote by mail, don’t wait for your ballot to get mailed to you. A lot of people think the issue is what will happen after you get your ballot, but a very big issue is not getting it mailed to you in time at all.

(1/2) Red states that capitulated to the rule are now facing huge challenges to get mail ballots ready and approved in time. Make sure if you live in one to show up early in person to vote, or to receive your ballot other than by mail and drop it off in an official drop box.
