I know this is a big undertaking, but is it possible for @boltsmag.org to send out a skeet/email 2 days before deadline closes and there's no challenger to anti-democratic incumbents, so someone from the readers could put their name just so there is a candidate. You are already doing great work!
NEWS: No one filed to challenge two conservative/Republican justices on the Nevada supreme court who are up for reelection this year. The deadline was a few days ago.
They will run for new terms unopposed.

For giving, this is a very good resource for mutual aid orgs, personal fundraisers, and nonprofit/community org donations.

Besides that, the best thing you can do is prepare your own communities. If it can happen here or Lewiston, Maine, it can happen anywhere.

I want to talk about a dystopian world we are entering - where every moment, event, and crisis just become commodities.
Life stops being something we live, but something we sell and trade. It will breed both corruption & emptiness.

This is Trump's masterstroke. Use it for any topic - the media runs a story they want, the campaign spins it the way they want. No one is sure what he meant. The campaign survives another day and moves on to the next target.
if you are worried about the abolish word you simply do what trump would do when asked and say "well, we're going to take a look very seriously at a few things but theyre out of control and my opponent wants them to kick in your door but we're not going to do that....we're looking very seriously"

We have one and that is the extreme right that now controls the Republican Party (morally right from their perspective). They steamrolled and co-opted the Club for Growth types into their fold.
it would be good if we had a political party in america that was at least as concerned with what is morally right as it is with what will make its donors and advisors happy

What a painful story to read, and a deeply reported one that does justice to the challenges of the Samoan community in Whittier, AK.

American Samoans, unique among *everyone* born in US states or territories, are denied US citizenship.
That means they are banned from voting.
That's made some a target of vicious GOP prosecution for fraud; even if they were told incorrect info from public officials.

Former Rep. Tom Perriello, a Virginia Democrat who won his sole term in a huge 2008 upset, unexpectedly announces campaign against GOP Rep. John McGuire. Trump carried the current version of #VA05 56-43, but it could look a lot different if Democrats convince voters to approve a new map this spring.
