@heidilifeldman @heidilifeldman and @JamesGleick I appreciate the thought behind what you said, but upon reflection…. why are we (the electorate) imposing our values on others? For #reasons campaigns have social media accounts on FB, Instagram, Threads, and X (this is specific to the United States). Most #Mastodon users can follow anyone on Threads (some instances blocked it). Is it not the voter’s responsibility to use *all* tools available to be informed? #harriswalz2024 @heidilifeldman Yes! I recently learned a lot of colleagues have moved to bluesky. While I’d love to reconnect with them online I have zero interest in giving my words and pictures to another billionaire or becoming a product to be bought/sold. No, thanks. So grateful for mastodon and (even with its flaws) the community here. 💞 Friends, I have been given some contact information for members of the Harris for President digital and social communications teams and I have started reaching out to them about our #MastodonforHarris fundraiser, https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris. If you have been considering a contribution, today would be a great day to show a lot of activity! #MastodonForHarris morning update - we are well over $300,000 and headed to 4000 contributions! Funds raised as of this post: $326,239.24 Current target: $500,000 I’m emphasizing the number of contributions because it is as important as the overall amount of money raised. Let’s continue to make an impact! https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris

@heidilifeldman She gets millions of dollars from AIPAC, fossil fuel companies, weapons companies, etc., and this is what you choose to do. Shame. Free Palestine. What a day. We are still fundraising fiercely at https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris. I took time to set up #MastodonBlueWave at https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodonbluewave. But what has kept me busiest - apart from getting ready for out-of-town visitors - is that I’m starting to make modest inroads with people in and adjacent to the #HarrisForPresident campaign. This is a painstaking process, lots of emails, calls, texts, everybody sounding each other out. 1/

Thank you and every American fighting for democracy and against an authoritarian, fascist America. Uplifting to witness! With the #MastodonForHarris fundraiser approaching $300,000 (!), I thought I'd say a little about why I am going to keep it going, most likely all the way through Inauguration Day. 1/ As some have noticed Harris for President is hiring heavily. https://kamalaharris.com/work-with-us/ 2/ @heidilifeldman Meanwhile, over on LinkedIn, I’m reaching out to the Harris for President on behalf of #MastodonForHarris. I can only do this sort of thing because of the many, many contributions, boosts, and posts about our effort. You are proving what I am saying. The LinkedIn post is in the photo and here https://www.linkedin.com/posts/heidilifeldman_i-just-gave-to-kamala-harris-activity-7222268783564922880--yXI.

@heidilifeldman excellent! I just shared your LinkedIn post with my network there. And sent you a connection request :) There's an online engagement campaign call this afternoon if someone can hop on and give Mastodon a boost with the campaign there

Sharing my plans for #MastodonForHarris fundraiser: Incredibly, it is now conceivable that we will hit the current target of $125,000 soon, maybe even today. When we do, I will adjust the target. I hope I have been clear from the beginning; each target is a a benchmark, not an endpoint. 1/ https://secure.actblue.com/donate/mastodon-for-harris I am continuing my efforts to contact key people in digital, outreach, and elsewhere in the Harris campaign. Eventually, I will get through, I’m sure. I’d like to have a list ready of qualified volunteers who could assist the campaign in understanding Mastodon and the Fediverse, setting up and maintaining an instance, and so forth. If you are interested in being contacted should an opportunity arise, please provide your details here https://opnform.com/forms/mfh-tech-volunteers-5asxbl. 2/ #MastodonForHarris

Here’s a link to the free e-reader app that allows people to access The Banned Book Club. https://thepalaceproject.org/banned-book-club/ @heidilifeldman Thanks for supporting Freedom of Information! To all those trying to suppress & obstruct it: #Mastodon fundraiser for #JustinPearson and #JustinJones: #Mastodon4Justins In less than a day, we've raised over $2000. I've set an initial goal of $3500. Contributions in any amount, as well as boosts of the effort, are a way to fight for democracy, to be anti-racist, and to demand laws to control gun violence. I’m on one of those endless airport layovers with a flight delayed multiple times and many hours. Getting me through: #catsOfMastodon #caturday and #defaidodon @heidilifeldman How about a cute shot of my sister’s cat? Hope it help get you through the wait. #CatsOfMastodon #Caturday |
@heidilifeldman I just stay up making art to make as many people as possible think about how important this vote is and I’m not above using my cat to do it.😉
