For those who voted in the , I don't necessarily discourage it. I voted. But we must acknowledge that voting is not enough. We are given a limited and unhelpful (to put it mildly) set of realistic choices, with a that gets thrown in with millions of not discarded outright, for people to govern us, once every two years. There's not a lot that can be accomplished through --not nothing, but not much.

. That's the way to change systems. For and , examples include starting and helping out in projects, collecting materials that would have gone to waste and turning them into useful things (ie making woven or paper clay containers and furniture from used plastic and paper bags), empty lots with native, edible, and plants, carpooling or riding public transit, and even blocking, obstructing, or sabotaging fossil fuel and deforestation infrastructure (don't get caught, though). The community is generating, spreading, and acting on many such ideas.

We will also need to support direct action through research on critical issues and effective actions, communication (including through the arts) to spread our ideas and share our methods, and living our lives in ways for a better world.

For decades, the capitalist state has known about , has faced public demand to stop it, and has done next to nothing. They're not going to start now. It's on us to stop ecological destruction from reaching its worst outcomes, and it's on us to build the structures we need to survive and adapt on this planet as it does face crisis and harm. Capitalism, hierarchy, and the state don't have a place in a future, anyway.

Vaguely encourging results from the ...a few knuckleheads gone - dems might hold the senate but house looks tough

Interesting for a huge win from DeSantis in florida - might make the orange menace think twice about his 15/11/2022 announcement

I turnout seemed reasonably good at my polling place, but not "we ran out of I Voted stickers" good

People in MA please VOTE blue today! I know we're a bit lulled here and relatively insulated from the insanity in the rest of the country, but a nazi nutjob backed by the orange maggot is dangerously close to the governor's office!

My online favourites for US election tracking are:

DecisionDeskHQ - typically among the fastest with results across the country.

NY Times - also reasonably fast.

Dave Wasserman - consistent predictor on key races.

Is this the key underlying issue in Tuesday’s voting 👇

Dems have substantial early vote advantage over Republicans. Any “red wave” has got to land on Tuesday and it needs to be massive to overcome the Dems buffer.

And now Musk’s true intentions revealed. To screw with the US midterms like it’s also his own plaything.
He really is too much.
