In my latest Substack, I discuss how important it is for us to build coalitions before ballots are cast. As a proud signatory with Take BAC Congress & @citizensimpeachment.com, I’m telling voters exactly what I stand for and exactly what I am committed to doing if elected.

Meet someone who can talk foreign policy, rural voters, Kentucky bourbon & Citizens United in one breath: Erin Petrey! She made us rethink what’s possible in red districts. Catch the convo → equal parts inspiring & spicy. 🌶️💙 beyondresistancepod.com/ @erinpetrey.bsky.social @jlaustin13.bsky.social

Just a hint: if your President and Secretary of Defense don’t feel they owe the people an explanation or objective about their military actions, you are in an authoritarian regime. #Iran

We talked w/ congressional candidate Callie Barr who’s bringing grit, heart & solutions to Northern MI. We cover healthcare deserts, rural revitalization, veterans’ rights & yep—how to eat a pasty! beyondresistancepod.com/ Comment your pasty stance! 👀 @jlaustin13.bsky.social @calliebarr.bsky.social

This pod was SO FUN to do! Thanks @beyondresistance.bsky.social for making the time and space for me to share my story and why Kentucky’s 6th district is an important race.

🚀 NEW EPISODE! We sat down with Kentucky’s own Bourbon Lady—Congressional candidate Erin Petrey—to talk red states, blue dreams, grassroots magic, and why an Old Fashioned might be the perfect political metaphor. 🥃🔥 🎧 Listen now! @erinpetrey.bsky.social @jlaustin13.bsky.social

They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb so I’m counting on the universe to right the karma in a few weeks. Nothing less than “it” will do.

Voters believe we need new leadership and Michael White has an answer for it! #NewLeadership #Midterms2026 @jlaustin13.bsky.social @electmichaelwhite.bsky.social

“That’s the way it is” . . . ?!!! Jfc! How about he send Baron to the Middle East first and then say this 💩 ! If you have a family member or friend over there. My thoughts are with you. 💔💔💔

Old enough to remember the last Republican president who started a regime change war over oil and personal grudges and HE had to get permission from Congress.

So the “Peace President” just bombed Iran. Again. Almost like he lied during the election . . . #Iran #Trump

They should add a urinal drain so people can piss on it.

The media had moved on, but the frozen water monsters are still terrorizing Minneapolis. It's likely social@media platforms are down voting posts as well. Please like, share, and comment to spread this. Minnesota is not okay. They need our eyes, our voices, and our support! #Hope #Community

Trump is raking over the American people & making billions while destroying the economy. Whatever he destroys, let's make sure he has to live in as well. In 2029 let's hold him accountable for every single crime he and his cronies have committed. #Corruption #Economy #Accountability

There is no reason for one person to do everything. Burn out, overwhelm, and accidental mistakes are a real hazard to a movement and to volunteers. Spread the work so we all contribute. #Activism #BeyondResistance #CollectiveCare

Some people jump into activism feet first and burn out quickly. It's important to not only pace yourself, but understand that movements worth working for take a long time. Make it consistent and sustainable to make a difference. #Activism #BeyondResistance #Hope #Future

There is enough work in every movement for every kind of activist. Don't worry if you don't want to give speeches or lead a protest. We all have a place and skills we bring to the table, and every single one is vital. #BeyondResistance #Activism #GetInvolved

District 35 is officially at the center of the political universe (we did NOT have that on our 2026 bingo card!). Our latest episode features Marine + Fire Captain + democratic nominee Chedrick Greene — and trust us, it’s a good one. Tune in and share your thoughts! 💬 beyondresistancepod.com

A reminder that fake voter fraud and false claims of election rigging were always the plan. Here’s a direct message from Assange to Don Jr way back in 2016.

There are always more volunteers, more donations, and more votes. You just have to go after them. #OrganizingTips #BeyondResistance

Recent quote from Governor Janet Mills - Maine #Maine

Volunteers will come back again and again if they feel they are part of something, not just an expendable resource. Besides, we all feel better when we are a family unit! Making friends wasn't just a skill they wanted you to learn in school. #OrganizingTips #BeyondResistance

Social media, REACH, VAN, Google Folders & more can help you do more w/ less. If you want to grow & scale your organization or movement, digital technology is a must. Find what works for you! This is where a young person can utilize skills older members don't have yet. #OrganizingTips #DigitalTech

Making connections is vital to the growth of any movement or campaign. If you feel uncomfortable introducing yourself, ask a friend who knows them to do it. It can give you more legitimacy and open that door a little wider if you have a mutual acquaintance. #OrganizingTips #BeyondResistance

Working together can be hard, even when you agree on almost everything! For any campaign or organization to thrive, everyone needs to master the skills of forgiveness, humility, and kindness. Save the fight for the other side! #OrganizingTips #BeyondResistance #Kindness

Call us data nerds, but we use numbers to figure out where we've made progress, where we need more work, if a precinct is on the verge of flipping, etc. Keep track of EVERTHING you can from turnout to door knocking to election results. Info helps you target & be strategic! #Data #OrganizingTips

America can't get where she needs to go without change. BIG change. We need bold ideas and bold leaders to implement them. No more business as usual! #BeyondResistance #Change #Hope #BeBold

New episode: We debrief Chedrick Greene’s primary landslide and the wild ride ahead in District 35. It’s political optimism with a little chaos sprinkled in. 🎧Find your way to listen: beyondresistancepod.com @jlaustin13.bsky.social #BeyondResistance #MichiganPolitics

Hey Dems, while we’re building a vision for the future in 2029 let’s also make sure we hold every last criminal in the Trump administration accountable. #Accountability

They want us to feel alone. That's why we find community. In defiance of Trump. In solidarity with each other. In the fight against fascism. Find your blue dots and let's create a tsunami. #BeyondResistance #Community #Love

When making connections or gathering supporters, think also about what you can do for them. Relationships should go both ways and we are all working towards the same goals. Let's make sure we are helping each other to meet them. #OrganizingTips #BeyondResistance

Countries all over the world are holding powerful men accountable. If we had believed victims a long time ago, they would already have justice. #Justice #Survivors

Social media takes a lot of work. Try scheduling and sharing the load. You need it to spread your message and keep your organization visible in your community. #SocialMedia #OrganizingTips #BeyondResistance

Your organization needs marketing with whatever is in your means. T-shirts, bumper stickers and signs can advertise your name, give you legitimacy, and spread your message. This builds membership, donations and blue power! #branding #marketing #OrganizingTips #BeyondResistance

When you stand up, others stand up! Your activism and visibility give other people the courage to rise up with you. Use that power to create a tide of resistance no one can ignore! #NoKings #BeyondResistance

Chinese New Year for the win! Let’s Year of the Horse this shit up and down the Epstein class!

Sarah & Jennifer developed the Blueprint off lessons they learned doing the work in Midland, MI. They flipped their city blue & helped send Democrats to every level of government. It's hard work, but NOW is the time to get started! #BeyondResistance #BluePower #Blueprint beyondresistancepod.com

Highlights of the pod: ✅ The SAVE Act is really, really bad ✅ Corporate accountability must be a priority of next AG ✅ Maybe hometown bias but…the best fried pickles in Michigan are at Fraser’s Pub in Ann Arbor. Though I’ll note that Schuberg’s in Big Rapids is a close second! Give it a listen!

New pod drop! 🎧 We talked with Eli Savit about protecting Michigan voters, holding corporations accountable, and the hunt for the perfect fried pickle. Democracy, but make it crunchy. #Podcast #Michigan #DemocracyDefense @esavit.bsky.social @jlaustin13.bsky.social
