I canvassed last night and with the rain I only hit 50 doors. That said, I had a lot of great conversations. Folks who would have normally talked through the door invited me in and we chatted. I even convinced a Republican to pull a Dem next week.

Last year my friend Deidre asked me for some help in getting a grant. I asked her what she needed — she had most of it but I called/messaged/harassed 7 or 8 activist friends like Will to help her with the final details. My involvement was knowing experts. Today is the execution of this grant.

Great day with some incredible students from Harshman MS slowing down drivers in front of their school- murals, delineators, and most importantly, water barriers to help enforce this crash diet on East 10th Street! Thanks to @clifmars.com for making sure we all stayed safe by flagging traffic!

I’ll be voting for Clif in IN 46 because he’s a principled leader and all around good guy with the right team behind him etc etc but ALSO because if he finally gets a real job maybe he will stop leading lame ass bike parties.

Indiana needs a fighter.

This campaign is simple: a government that prioritizes neighbors over powerful corporations. If you are able, please consider chipping in $26 today. secure.actblue.com/donate/clif4indiana Let’s build a future where no one gets left behind.

AES just canceled tonight’s meeting to avoid answering for the BlackRock buyout. They’re claiming "security threats"—it’s a lie to avoid the public. I’ve been warning you about the AES-BlackRock-Data Center connection for a year. This deal is a 50% rate hike, plain and simple.

I’m running for State Senate because our communities deserve leadership that listens, shows up, and governs with care. This campaign is focused on strong public schools, accessible healthcare, affordable housing, and an economy that works for working families. secure.actblue.com/donate/india...

Indiana SB182 isn’t about protecting kids. It isn’t about fairness. It isn’t about “keeping politics out of things.” It’s about denying identity. It’s about targeting people with the least power. clifmars.com/sb182/

Shoveling snow is easier than shoveling grief. A friend reminded me today: if you don’t know what to do, shovel your neighbor’s sidewalk. The last two weeks have been hard. Crisis makes people freeze. I’m going to keep fighting for my neighborhood while remembering Humanity doesn’t stop at borders.

Sunday Morning, Jan 25, 2026, I will be the guest on Progressive Indiana Network's HoosLeft podcast. Join Scott Aaron Rogers, with guests Clif Marsiglio and Lori Ecker, as they discuss the week's top news through a Hoosier lens. progressiveindiana.net youtube.com/live/J-txq14n-cU

I’m running for Indiana State Senate in District 46. This is work I’ve already been doing — now I’m asking voters to trust me to do it as their senator. More Info: clifmars.com Donate to the campaign at: secure.actblue.com/donate/clif4indiana

Redd was slated to host at the Kennedy Center. This no longer exists because of fuckos like Grenell. He is now suing Redd for not paying a free concert in a nonexistent venue. I hope the left gofunds Redd and encouraged others to stop capitulating to Nazis.

Do you want to know more about the Precinct Chair Project, a few of us have been working on? Take a read of my latest newsletter and sign up! Last minute, but will be talking about this at the Progressive Dems meeting TOMORROW. Don't worry it's not the last time we will be talking about this!

My latest newsletter has gone out. I linked to resources that our friend Blythe Potter for Indiana Secretary of State has provided on her site to contact your local senator to tell them no on redistricting. Also, I may be doing something — I need your help. open.substack.com/pub/clifmars...

I took this little alien to the protest at the State House today. We didn’t get into any yelling matches…there was an insane person doing that anyways…but he did see why we fight. Because of work — students come first in all instances — we didn’t get there until after the crowds have gone home.

Testing out OpenVibe to see how well it aggregates several social median sites so I don’t have to go to each and every one of them!

Bike ride to work in the snow!

“Get insurance companies out of it. We don’t need a middle man. They’re like the mob, taking their cut off the top.” @RepTimBurchett unwittingly makes the case for MEDICARE FOR ALL as Republicans flail for a way to deal with skyrocketing health care costs. (H/T @PabloReports)

I realize I don't log into Bsky much anymore. I might be about to do something stupid...soooo...maybe I should get this account running again.

Can Bill Clinton’s dick be the reason for two impeachments???

New album dropping soon.

DAMMIT ANTIFA THIS IS CLEARLY A TERRORIST ACT!!!

Here in Indianapolis, Nexstar Media Group now owns WTTV (CBS 4), WXIN (FOX 59) and WTHR (NBC 13). Nexstar and Sinclair are the two conglomerates who have decided to punish Jimmy Kimmel. Our public news is owned by Nazi sympathizers.

Porn stars and playmates. At least everyone was of age in this photo. Imagine the photos these two men have had destroyed as well as the lives. Bill was a hero of mine growing up. And like any rational person, I’m willing to throw away my heroes when I know the truth.

IU is hosting a free online NARCAN training course. It is 30 minutes. Granted...not as awesome as the events I run...but its free and you can do these in your jammies. prevention.iu.edu/projects/sto...

Trump’s favorability spiked the moment folks thought he’d finally listened to the people and dropped dead. Unfortunately, being alive tanked the numbers again.

This is the 6th bicyclist fatality in Indianapolis so far in 2025, all occurring in an ~6 month span (2/13 -> 8/22). That is more than all of 2024 (4). It is also only 1 behind the record high set in 2021 and 2023 (7). @bikeindy.bsky.social #SafeStreetsIndy #VisionZero #Indianapolis #HoosierSky

Coffee With A Clif goes to Guggman Haus. With Indigo. And Kelly With A Y.

Didn’t get arrested tonight. Sheriffs TRIED to find a reason though.

Today’s Coffee With A Clif…and Sometimes An Amy. Amy has *TWO* coffees. Does she survive??? A Pistachio Something Lattee from Provider. And a frozen Mocha from Costco. True story: the theme song killed 3 rivers in Uganda due to the GPU usage.

My team puts up NARCAN all over the east side. We have about 8 boxes and with the 100+ more ODL has across Indy you are covered. In this installment of Coffee With A Clif I stop by Kaffeine Coffee and I fill the naloxbox. And most importantly get coffee.

So...Paramount killed Colbert's show where they own the building, and the set was built a decade ago, and they pay interns $15hr because it was too expensive to produce. BUT a cartoon using hundreds of millions of dollars of CGI gets $1.5 Billion Dollars. 'Okay' www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

Hogsett and Cook

People who know me know that I'm usually on the cutting edge of technology. But also an idiot at times. I keep three calendars: Public, Work, and Weiner Doctor. Ya know, for the most private. This is my way of apologizing to the five friends who somehow showed up to my urologist appointment.

I could sit on the patio all day…or go into my office to do the same things I could do anywhere in the world.

Bike Party. Tonight. facebook.com/events/s/may...

This just in.

How much time will this guy serve when he turn himself in and Ryan Mears decides that he needs a hug more than consequences. A child Is dead and the father is In critical condition. And Mears/Hogsett will do nothing.

The worst part of living in Indianapolis is the sycophant political class that goes out of its way to create the worst policies simply to be reelected. IMPD leadership recently told me Hogsett never shows up EXCEPT to let them know he doesn't want traffic laws enforced in Black Neighborhoods.

This is cool as hell. However, I have Shuttle Discovery sitting on a shelf unfinished already! And it looks amazing. Or will when I open the box! www.lego.com/en-us/produc...

Interesting. When poorer neighbors beg city councilors to kill the bike lane, the local councilor won’t even take a meeting with them. When the folks in the richer neighbors complain… For the record, the bike lane was the right thing to do. mirrorindy.org/washington-b...

Sam Jackson’s Secret Invasion could EASILY been Marvel’s Andor. And they decided that was too serious and complicated for nerds.

I used to do a lot of free labor for a local NPO. They used the metrics I provided to create a rationale to hire someone permanently — they sourced the description from my LinkedIn, included a red herring from the music industry. I applied. Couldn't get an interview. Well... 1/x

Star Wars depicts its first SA in a series based on fascism, and folks get upset. In Skeleton Crew, they were trying to sell children to brothels. AND THIS WAS FOR KIDS. I mean, they didn't say the quiet parts out loud, but this was what the pirates were trying to do.

At an event. Men’s room is walk in/walk out. Women’s room…15 minute wait. So what’s the difference? Penises. They are efficient If more women had penises the wait would go down exponentially.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible! www.wthr.com/article/news...
