You might be thinking about the Brownback years? Our legislature is largely shite but Laura Kelly has done a good job of keeping us in the black over the past few years.

Here's the conundrum: Hungary is basically the same size as Indiana, which makes it way easier for a critical mass of citizens to gather in one place. How do we as Americans overcome the sheer size of our country to stage an effective protest?

I also don't go in for conspiracy theories, but a thought I've had is that the billionaires know climate change is real, and their odds of riding it out are way better if there are a lot fewer people competing for resources.

I also rounded up voter registration and candidate and ballot measure info and pushed that out to my community. Since the election I've been involved in coordinating educational events around knowing your rights, especially for immigrants.

Yep, I read the whole thing. As for what I'm doing? In the run up to the election I was involved in organizing educational events about civic engagement for my community, including topics like reproductive rights and the Electoral College.

Most of these suggestions boil down to: get involved in your local community. And that's great! I'm lucky to live in a very engaged community, and I am an active contributor to that.
