Don't get confused here. He's not on your team.
Just a reminder that George Conway is not fundraising right now to run against a MAGA republican.
He is fundraising to run against progressive Democrats.

Public media is a literal lifeline in many rural areas. If you are looking for ways to offer support to others - this is a very real need that is currently being *created* by our own government.
I'm a monthly contributing member at Kotzebue AK's public radio station. Never been to Alaska, but it's their main emergency comms channel, so.
If you can, consider something similar. Public media is essential.

If you can swing it, PLEASE support your local PBS/NPR affiliates! This is a great place to direct the dollars you might have diverted from, say, a canceled NYT or Disney+ sub...

Truth! Their gluten free cookbook is saving my life right now.
I think America Test Kitchen is an underrated resource and deserves the credit that people heap upon NYT cooking. It's a superior resource and not just because of my anti-NYT bias. The recipes are well tested but aren't as persnickety as Serious Eats.

This. In school libraries, it's more about access to reading than it is about 'teaching kids to be responsible with books.'
90% of the time a lost book or an unpaid fine is a *grownup problem* in the school library. What purpose is served by restricting access to reading because a parent can't pay?

yeah, I’m not in the “teaching people responsibility” business, I’m in the “getting books and materials to people because that’s what libraries are for” business 📚
That’s a critique. Ok. Well, it’s not about money. It’s about responsibility. You take the book and you agree to get it back by a certain date. It’s not hard. If you don’t read it in time you can always check it out again. But be organized enough to honour the contract.

literally how many members of congress have done this much? Where's the list? Which newspaper has a list of names with a checkmark next to them?
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he called President Donald Trump and directly voiced his opposition to the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Right. So humans, who will inevitably die in this ridiculous pursuit, are worth nothing. Even if they're Americans (and therefore supposedly of value to him)
As long as he's getting his oil payout and can play soldiers, actual people don't matter.
He needs to go.

Calling is useful. Calling is worthwhile! Calling? Is one thing you can do (*sigh* I said one thing, not 'the only thing,' hate that I have to specify but that's social media) to stay engaged and protect your mental health.
Even if you're like me and DESPISE talking on the phone, calling vm helps!

Parents of boys, especially! Your sons are getting propaganda ads on all their social media - talk to them. My college age sons get direct texts from military recruiters who try to chat them up. Selective Service hands over their info. They get email, calls...
Talk to them.
Talk to them.
from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.

It is very important that your federal electeds hear not only from you on social media, but through direct contact as well. Tag them and then
Call and email. Do both. Tell them to move to immediately impeach and remove for an unconstitutional war of aggression.
