I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.
Following the recent election, leadership will be changing in many districts where conservative values previously dominated school board meetings and community actions.

Voters shift school boards toward LGBTQ+ inclusion across PA and N.J. - Philadelphia Gay News
School boards in PA and NJ are shifting fast—LGBTQ+ leaders are winning, conservatives are losing, and policy battles are heating up.

part of why i find books with unreliable narrators interesting is that as the reader, you’re constantly trying to asses whether the thing the narrator is experiencing is real, or only real to them.
this, i think, is how we should treat the vast majority of social media posts.

Looking forward to digging into Columbus in 50 Maps, @brentincolumbus.bsky.social’s new book with @beltpublishing.bsky.social.
Brent is someone who cares deeply about this city and always seeks to find new ways to understand it—its past and present, but also all its possible futures.

3) They deliberately roundup senators who aren't facing voters to do the selling out.
And, the coup de grace ...
4) They sell out *in order to preserve the filibuster*, one of the very artifacts that makes the Senate so miserable & useless.
Perfectly shitty, as though designed in a Shit Lab.

I'm trying to do real work today & everyone is bashing this already, but my god:
1) Schumer clearly arranges or at least greenlights the sellout but then votes against it so he can pretend to have a spine.
2) They sell out for a *promise from Republicans*, who lie like they f'ing breathe.

if you want to understand what’s happening on the right (and you should), read this thread.
I've noticed that there isn't much talk here about the current internecine war that is unfolding on the right, spearheaded in large part by Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I know this shit is insane and feels bad. But this is a mistake (1/)

we saw some big wins for the left last night, and some very close races where we didn’t quite make it there.
but all that energy and community building and capacity to shift people and narratives doesn’t go away after the election. use that to make change now and build for later.

What if the Columbus City Council election was a ward system instead where only District 7 residents voted for the District 7 race?
Vogel 62% (10,829 votes)
Ross 38% (6,592 votes)
Vogel won 60 of the 79 precincts in District 7 (76%)

Just with early vote reporting, Charlotte's transportation sales tax referendum is currently up 55–45%. But I caution this is just the early vote!
