🧵1/ 🗳️ Why I Sign Up as a #Volunteer Poll Worker — and What I’ve Learned
🗣️ Prior to 2020, I never really thought about what it takes to run an election. That changed when I saw the courage of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss—two #election workers in #FultonCounty, Georgia. Despite being falsely accused and facing intense harassment, they stood firm in their integrity. Their bravery opened my eyes to the human side of election work and inspired me to step up and participate in the process myself…

people with disabilities, children, elders—are under fire from drones, missiles, and artillery. The occupiers do not discriminate.
My heart is with those mourning loved ones and those enduring the unimaginable.
🚨Disinformation is another front in this war. Too often, mainstream media distorts or omits the truth about Ukraine’s fight for survival.
Here’s a truth that must be repeated:
🎯 If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, there is no Ukraine.
🇺🇦 Ukrainians..

are not just defending their homeland—they are standing on the front lines of a global struggle for freedom, sovereignty, and democracy.
☎️✍🏽 If you live in the U.S., EU, or any allied nation: call, write, tag your representatives. Demand continued support for air defense. Demand the lifting of restrictions that hinder Ukraine’s ability to defend itself.
Solidarity is a verb. Let’s act.

🗣️Back in November 2025, after returning from my 6th humanitarian volunteer trip to Ukraine, I sent a few packages from the United States—each one packed with genuine, life-saving CAT 7 🩸tourniquets and American flags, a symbol of our solidarity.
➡️ This week, I received a video from the Kharkiv region. A Ukrainian defender holds a few of these tourniquets and offers his thanks.

Quick: You’re a small #nonprofit #volunteer-run organization. What #tool(s) do you use for project management (planning and execution) to make sure all those volunteers are keeping things moving forward?
(Basically I am looking for HerdingCats.app that ideally is low-cost or free and with a smooth UI accessible to very non-tech audience!)

Petition in Germany to recognize unpaid contribution to free and open source software projects as 'society-beneficial volunteering' (ehrenamt)!
This will give volunteering for e.g. @postmarketOS , @freifunk , @kde , @nextcloud , @Mastodon and other libre projects the same legal status as taking care of an elderly family member or volunteering for a youth association, which provides tax benefits and relaxes requirements for receiving unemployment benefits.
Interested people may sign it using one of the two following links.
