Cannot boost this hard enough. ••Thank you••, @ianrosewrites. https://scicomm.xyz/@ianrosewrites/113392362906989252

Spelling out •why• I’m so gung ho on that post:

The reality of those burned ballot boxes (edit: in OR; worse in WA!) is they destroyed 3 ballots. Not dozens. Not hundreds. Three. And poll workers were able to reach out to those three people. Number of votes lost: ZERO.

What do fascists need? Fear. Panic. Desperation. Nihilism. People complying in advance.

What do fascists fear? Resilience. Generosity. Systems that work. People who care. Everyone else realizing they’re pathetic and defeatable.

@inthehands Well, in Oregon they only destroyed 3. In Washington, unfortunately, it was a lot more. But yes, people are working on fixing & mitigating these issues!

@adrienne
Important clarification, thanks!

@adrienne @inthehands Yeah, your post as written is conflating two different incidents (by what police believe was the same actor) in a way I believe misleads. Ian's post doesn't have this same issue as I read it.

@mcc @adrienne
Yeah, def missed a beat in my 2nd post! Tried to edit to correct since only that post and no the correction is doing numbers.
