Fatima's family of seven needs your help in Gaza! Hello, my name is Holly and I'm raising funds for the Al Muranekh family of seven trying to survive the brutality of the zionist genocide in Gaza.

Please support her if you can.

This is one of the big reasons why primaries are so important. They really can push candidates left.

New England cherishes its local electionsβ€”but many disabled voters are locked out β€œIt's a really heartbreaking example of who gets left behind in systems that are not built for everyone.”

For a few hundred years, towns across New England have conducted Town Meeting Days via floor votes, which can be inaccessible to disabled people. This situation shows how accessibility and tradition can go head-to-head. My latest for @motherjones.com.

Now that Ruwa Romman has withdrawn from Georgia's gubernatorial race, I really do not know who to vote for.

(I'm definitely not voting for Geoff Duncan.)

Experiencing major nostalgia for the 2018 race, when Stacey Abrams was a real possibility.

Jack Mazurek, a Stop Cop City activist who was arrested in February 2024, offered a non-cooperation plea Monday morning to the charge of first-degree arson.

Mazurek was sentenced to 10 years probation and 300 hours community service.

How to Write a Book When Your Country Is on Fire In August of 2023, I pitched a book about voting called Ballot for Bloomsbury’s Object Lessons series. I was confident, if not cocky, about the fact that I could write this book. I had been voting …

For @literaryhub.bsky.social I wrote about writing a book about voting during a genocide and an unprecedented presidential election year.

"I could not tune out the rise of fascism in the US, or the US’s role in genocide, in order to write my book. (How could I?)"

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Absolutely horrifying. This refugee survived genocide and died because of the gross incompetence of federal immigration agents.

I’ve Witnessed Trump Weaponize Georgia Ballots for Years. Then He Stole Mine. The FBI raid of Fulton County’s election hub is just one worrisome incident in a pattern of election interference.

In a new @truthout.org op-ed, @anjalienjeti.bsky.social, author of β€œBallot,” reflects on witnessing election interference firsthand.

This is terrifying.

Ilhan Omar to Trump: "You Have Killed Americans" A tense exchange during a remarkably racist portion of the president's State of the Union address.

Readers at my book events for BALLOT always ask me where I have hope when it comes to voting, elections, and our two-party system.

Ilhan Omar. Rashida Tlaib. Summer Lee. Ayanna Pressley. Delia Ramirez. Cori Bush. Zohran Mamdani. There many, many others.

They are our way out of fascism.

If you oppose the construction of ICE prisons, it’s a good time to also oppose jail construction, even when framed as β€œimprovements” or β€œupdating existing facilities”

Turns Out There Was Voter Fraud in Georgiaβ€”by Elon Musk The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications.

Trump has been terrorizing Georgia since November 2020 over his (totally baseless) claim of voter fraud. As it turns out, the PAC belonging to his sycophant, Elon Musk, sent out pre-filled absentee ballot applications to voters, in violation of Georgia law.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.
