If you had an entire month off to commit to volunteering for a Dem midterm campaign, how would you go about doing it?

Hey everyone. I’m a traveling nurse based out of Missoula (lived in Bozeman for years before moving to Missoula last year) and have the (very fortunate) luxury of taking extended time off occasionally between assignments. I’m purposely blocking out the entire month of October because I want to be out there on the ground in Montana volunteering for a Dem campaign. I’ve done some very brief political volunteering in the past, but it’s been a while. I’m not sure if I should focus on one race, maybe focus on voter registration and engagement, or just ask the Montana DNC for guidance. I’m not connected to any organizers and it’s hard to know where to begin.

But I want my efforts to be structured and impactful, as much as they can be anyway. I’m willing to travel and canvass anywhere in Montana.

If anyone has any advice, or experience in this I’d be very grateful for your input.

Friend spam with poached eggs, arugula, pickled red onion, and Dijon aioli

My first time trying spam and wow. This didn’t even feel like a “ketofied” meal. It just tasted decadent, indulgent and something I’d be served at a restaurant:

Two medium poached eggs

Two thick slices of spam fried in avocado oil (can’t see it on the picture beneath the bed of arugula but it’s there)

Pickled red onion

Arugula lightly tossed in freshly squeezed lemon

Dijon aioli (mayo, Dijon, lemon, minced garlic, cracked pepper, salt)

Topped with cracked black pepper

👌

ICE arrest in a rural Montana town prompts a conservative community to take action

Anyone else hear about this? First I’m reading about it. Can’t say I’ve ever been to Froid but their response as a community was really moving to read.

From the article:

> Within days, Keith Nordlund found himself organizing the biggest fund-raiser this town had ever seen to help Roberto. More people showed up to the Froid Community Center than the town has residents. They shared a meal. They bid on hay and gravel and tools, raising thousands of dollars for Roberto's family.

> A separate legal fund raised thousands more.

> I think people should understand that this is the person who's been in the U.S. more than 25 years, raised a family with four U.S. citizen children who are contributing members of our community. They pay taxes. They obey the rules. They follow the law. They don't take from our society.

I’m a traveling nurse and most of the assignments I find these days are for nights. I can’t go back to a staff position at home because even though rates are so much lower than they used to be, I still come out slightly more ahead than I would with a staff job. I just want to save enough for a down payment. Nothing gets easier

My mind and body are exhausted. Last night was a very rough shift. I was so tired. I often can’t sleep well during the day so night shifts can be brutal. This economy is starting to scare me. I’m thankful for my career as a nurse but even healthcare seems to be drying up and becoming more competitive. Gas prices here in the coastal town I’m in are $6.39 this morning

I normally don’t eat after a shift but I feel depleted. Low-carb tortilla shell, cheesy eggs, onion, and salsa with morning star vegetarian spicy sausage and a huge iced water
