100%. One of the reasons we're in such trouble now was that Republicans targeted statehouses in 2010, which allowed them to disenfranchise voters, gerrymander districts, and make their states a friendlier place to extremists within their own party.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 3d agoThe Senate is important, but state legislatures are just as big and, as the post notes, these races are a lot more effective use of your dollar.

People of San Diego Comic Con. I have two Mad Cave events today. Feel free to swing by and say hi.
In Scam Diego for Comic Con. If you are too, come by the Mad Cave booth tomorrow at noon and I will be signing copies of Terrorbytes, Vanishing Point, Dog Tag, Racer X, or whatever you bring me. 12-1pm Thursday. Booth #2806.
. @madcavestudios.com's Terrorybytes is always filled with great social commentary, but there was one thing in particular from @manruss.bsky.social in this week's issue that hit @nickfriar.com particularly hard 🫠
Dog Tag #3, set against the backdrop of the Battle of the Bulge, in stores today. Little extra chestnut... a small part of this story is based on the real wartime experience of a soldier named Jack Kirby.

I wouldn’t want to be “that guy”, but if I was a Jedi, I wouldn’t hesitate to spritz my opponent in the face with bear mace right before a light saber duel.
I think one of the lowkey reasons why certain people hate the Odyssey is that internally they identify with the suitors.
