A Strategy to Heal Americaโ€™s Rural-Urban Divide Suzanne Mettler has combined five decades of county-level analysis to understand why rural and urban America are so dividedโ€”and how we can heal.

In 1996 Clinton won 48% of rural counties. In 2024 Trump won 93%. "Rural Versus Urban: The Growing Divide That Threatens Democracy" explains why & what's to be done to heal the divide. I interviewed lead author @smettler.bsky.social for @barnraiser.bsky.social 1/

Despite being an Emmy-nominee, I've found it nearly impossible to get US outlets to pay me for freelance stories from Brasil (even when I pay my own airfare & lodging).

Donate to help us tell stories that the US media is ignoring.

By labeling Brazilian gangs as "terrorists", many fear that Trump will be able to deport Brazilian immigrants more easily.

More than 2,000 Brazilians were deported in 2025.

Important story about Brazil. The Bolsonaro and Trump families are close. Bolsonaro is in league with the rest of the Global Fascist Oligarchy. They use Florida as a safe haven and liaise with the usual right wing villians. Perhaps most importantly, PIX scares Big Tech and US credit card companies.

Trump lies and projects every time he opens his foul mouth. He's the one interfering with elections, nationally and internationally.

He needs to be stopped.

Trump has sent his top hatch man Dennis Beattie to oversee his plans to defeat Lula in Brasil.

Beattie is known for his white nationalist & conspiracy theory statements.
