I spent 4 years trying to convince people of the importance of running for office even in the most hostile districts in the country -- and record numbers of people stepped up! That there would be instances like those detailed in this thread of unopposed electeds... We have to give people a choice.
I'm seeing a lot of talk about the importance of candidate recruitment...

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool

I encourage people to heavily curate their online feeds. News should be available when you need it, but you also need to be able to spend leisure time relaxing and not being bombarded by bad news. Make lists of such accounts so that you can actively choose what you see when you need downtime.

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?
