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).

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

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.
Reporter: What crime did Mahmoud Khalil commit to warrant his arrest and threatened deportation?

Mike Johnson: We are going to arrest your tail and send you home where you belong. This is just getting started. I appreciate free speech, I used to defend it in courts. This is far beyond the pale.

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...

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! 🍹
