How about run for state or local government office? That's how Republicans got where they are today. They took over state legislatures and governor's offices plus supreme courts. Take them back. Make state and local governments the firewall.

It's especially imperative that the focus is on state legislatures, the governor's office, attorney general and state supreme courts. I have election calendars for these offices up or will be posting them by the end of the month.

New Jersey and Virginia have statewide elections this year!

I've been supporting Sister District since its founding after the 2016 election. Democrats from across the county come together to phone bank, text bank, donate, and provide other needed help in support of state candidates. www.sisterdistrict.com

You are correct, yet the numbers of people who can actually do this is limited. We can all work to make them successful

How do we boost our alternative Media infrastructure? It seems as if Dems are still playing catching up on social media, which is a good goal to continue, yet the real action seems to be happening in the alternative info channels such as gaming, dating apps, etc. What is being done to focus Dems on becoming active participants in those community-based online forums?

It’s so good to be able to share to BlueSky directly. It saves a step!

The internet, social media will look very different under putin’s regime. Anticipate a proscribed access in which every subscriber, posts will be scrutinized for sedition (as it applies to authoritarian rule) and punished, not tolerated. How better to control a coordinated uprising?

We need to find a way to communicate off the internet. Communication is going to be closely monitored by the incoming Republican regime.
