Compiling some thoughts

I began my public online presence in 2007 with a small blog intended to keep interested friends about the volunteer travel I was doing for Hillary Clinton's primary run. That blog gained more notice than I ever could have anticipated, and I kept it going for a number of years. Eventually, the online world turned to social media. I stopped blogging and got active on what I will only refer to as the bird site. When that got bought by a fascist, I switched to Mastodon and the Fediverse, where I've been active ever since (you can find me there via @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social). Now, with the election of a fully fascist government at the federal level in the United States, I'm also going to blog again, here.

My first priority will be to gather some of the thoughts I've put on Mastodon since the 2024 U.S. elections. I will also selectively share links to others' writing that I think especially constructive or useful.

After that, I will use this blog to share my thinking about how to get through the Republican Fascist regime as it takes hold and how to resist and oppose it. I'm sure that the blog will have more than one incarnation but that's the plan for now.
