I just wrote an in-the-weeds blog post about a program I helped run in IL where we won 80% of the races we worked in. We supported candidates for municipal offices like school and library boards, park districts, city councils, and mayors. arena.run/blog/the-illinois-municipal-program

I wrote a blog for my friends at @arenasummit.bsky.social about the work I did with the Democratic Party of Illinois during the municipal elections earlier this month, where we won 80% of our targeted races across the state. arena.run/blog/the-ill...

A lot of people are annoyed with national Dem leaders right now (trust me, people who work on campaigns are more annoyed than anyone), but we can have a huge impact helping people at a local level. Be like Bob! Run for office! Support someone you like in your neighborhood!

I'm working on a deeper writeup of this now, but I think one of my biggest takeaways is to get involved at the local level and help elect good people. They don't have to agree with you on every issue, but they at least have to be willing to listen and learn

Donated $.10 (plus fees) for every rushing yard for the 2005 Wisconsin Badgers (Barry Alvarez's last year coaching) because we need to RETURN TO REAL WISCONSIN FOOTBALL

What the fuck did I do to deserve being added to this newsletter?

it's true, the Milwaukee Brewers pitching staff has allowed ZERO home runs since Susan Crawford was elected

Yesterday I rode up a chair lift with a Trump supporter in UT who didn't believe me when I said Trump/Elon cut cancer research. He said that he heard Elon was cutting unnecessary things like "$20m to send Sesame Street to Iraq" ???

This, plus the people who are paying attention/will remember are the base voters who are paying attention and are going to be pissed enough to not donate/volunteer

Damn. I thought the brilliant repartee between me and @smarti9.bsky.social was really boosting my follow count, but turns out it's just porn bots

Local radio station is doing "album sides Thanksgiving", which should be a year-round thing. We're on side A of Damn The Torpedoes right now and yeah, the first 3 are hits, but even the album tracks rock
