I was today years old when I learned that a Cormorant Village, Minnesota, had a dog as a mayor. 🐶 Big fluffy Duke served four terms of one year each (that's 28 dog years!).

Read/ listen to the proof (incl. a song about Duke) here:

Scary stuff:

In a conference room near the #Capitol, #YoungConservatives gathered in April to learn how to #RunForOffice —how to #win & #wield #government #power.
Among the keynote speakers at the summit, hosted by a grp devoted to “training #America’s future statesmen today,” was #JeffreyClark, the fmr snr #DOJ ofcl who in 2020 sought to use federal #law enforcement power to undo…#Trump’s defeat.

Congressmember @repbowman (D-NY) joins to talk about his time as an #educator, from being a crisis intervention teacher to founding his own school.

He shares what he sees as the role of the #Squad; how he got involved with #JusticeDemocrats; and what led him to #runforoffice in the first place. He shares his thoughts on the major issues we’re facing in K-12 #education, from attacks on #LGBTQ+ youth to ...

"Hey #Progressives! Want to make a real difference in politics? Run for office in #Tennessee! Don't just complain about the system, be the change you want to see. Let's turn the tide and create a more equitable and just Tennessee for all. #RunForOffice #ProgressivePower #uspol 🌟🗳️💪"

Nobody challenged Republicans in Tennessee in more than 50% of races.

Please run an issue campaign challenging the incumbents so newspapers and TV have to cover races that wouldn't be otherwise because they are uncontested and boring.

Let's not slide into one-party authoritarianism because the GOP isn't challenged.

I am looking for climate activists who want to run for office. I am willing to help you with a multilingual web site, english social media content, mastodon direct message lists, and any thing else we can think of. I am particularly interested in California and US candidates, but am happy to help others wherever it is legal to do so. After all climate change is a global problem.

#GeorgeSantos has lied and will continue to lie. He's showing #NoShame in doing it. He says he will still #RunForOffice. Totally unacceptable! He's testing #Voters to see who supports a known #Liar. Too big of a losing #Gamble to trust him in anything and everything. He's benefited from his #Lies, so OF COURSE he wants to continue doing the same #scam.. Don't fall for it -- he'll always lie because it has proven a good thing for him. Let him continue to lie, but NOT as an elected #Official.

A guy came up to me at a coffeehouse with a clipboard, asking me if I can sign his #petition. His petition was to get on the ballot to #runforoffice. But this wasn’t for just any office. It was for #President of the #UnitedStates of #America.
