From her home in Daly City, Calif., Judith Bolker is working to flip Georgia blue.
The 69-year-old calls voters, urging them to vote for Jon Ossoff and the Rev. Raphael Warnock, the two Democrats seeking to topple Republican senators in the Peach State’s Jan. 5 runoff election. Bolker writes postcards and sends texts to Georgia voters of color for Reclaim Our Vote, a nonpartisan project focused on voter suppression. She also finds time to lead phone banks for the progressive organizing group Swing Left.
Bolker’s volunteering has the intensity of a full-time job. It can last from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., she said, meals and exercise breaks notwithstanding. And she’s doing it all from a spare bedroom over 2,000 miles away from Atlanta.

Newsom Is Getting Worse and St. Nicholas Should Smack Him
Happy Thursday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Poor personal choices are what’s for breakfast today.
Let’s talk lockdowns again today, even though we’re not calling them just that anymore.
Stay-at-home orders…curfews…it all ends up the same: freedoms are stripped away and livelihoods are ruined. While all of that is going on, the elites at the Court of Versailles party on without caring one whit for the suffering commoners.
Gavin “French Laundry Bloomers” Newsom is now the worst of the bunch. I’ve long thought that Andrew “Fredo the Elder” Cuomo was the worst, but I’m reassessing that and realizing that it’s been Newsom for a while. They’re probably in a dead heat when it comes to ignorant arrogance but Newsom’s smarm factor is nausea-inducing.
