    The state and local is where most of the progress is going to happen in the next 4 years. They control a lot more than you think - even including running elections for federal office. Pay attention to all your local elections - they are going to matter a lot

    EDIT: While I’m here, going to mention there are local elections in some localities across the US tomorrow (feb 25th) in parts of California, Connecticut, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, & Maine

    Here’s a substack post with more info about those local elections

      My state is gerrymandered to death which is probably one reason the right wants to push everything to the states. Easier to divide and control.

      Ballot measures. Write them if your state empowers them. That’s where the democracy will happen.
