Off election year elections are voter suppression.

Oh how I wish the Mayoral race in Oakland was just an off-year election. Instead, we are replacing our mayor who was just recalled.

Galesburg, IL; home of Knox College and the last remaining site of a Lincoln-Douglas debate will be choosing this year between the last remaining member of the Custer family which owned most of Galesburg 120 years ago and a college professor who head's the environmental science department at Knox.

What’s the name of the professor? Do they have a Bluesky account we can follow?

As you might tell, I've been opposed to the nepo, lazy, fat son of a bitch who has sold off bits and pieces of his inheritance to sell off chunks of the city's infrastructure to MAGA businessmen. His family owned the radio stations, newspapers and nat bank and has supported right-wing extremists.

While we're at it, a reminder that there are efforts at reform to line up local elections with even-numbered years for more turnout: https://boltsmag.org/even-year-local-elections/
