You don't have to win every rural county, but you have to show up. Competing everywhere helps pull overall votes for statewide races AND combats disillusion, plants seeds of democracy and hope.

To all Republicans: if your policies are really worth voting for, then stop acting like babies when it comes to expanding voting access.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Many states (even red ones) successfully use universal mail-in voting. Indiana could do things the convenient, efficient, and democratic way, but our Republican supermajority makes things harder for voters. @BlythePotterIN wants to change that.

For my friends in the Region: Don't let him coast. https://www.mobilize.us/indivisiblenwi/event/830883/

Turns out inclusion isn't just the right thing to do, but also produces better results. Diverse voices bring different perspectives and an ability to look at problems from angles you hadn't even thought of.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Compare the White House tweet w/ the contents page of Taking America Back for God: Christian Nationalism in the United States (w/ @profsamperry.bsky.social) Resonant.

Why should the average Hoosier care if the US military takes out ALLEGED drug boats? Well, if the regime can designate anybody a terrori$t and bomb them into oblivion w/o due process, they can do it to anybody. We discussed it this past Sunday. https://youtu.be/LKbMChyk5-w

Also go to @hoosleft.us & watch Blythe’s interview w/Scott Aaron Rogers on his podcast Saw Blythe speak at a Camp Atterbury concentration camp protest in Johnson County in August, but the podcast with Scott gave me a much better idea of who Blythe is & what she stands for ✅Blythe Potter for IN SOS

Hey hey hey, #hoosiersky! This is the entirely people funded campaign page for @blythepotter.bsky.social She is running for IN Sec of State & there is a fundraiser for her on 10/11. Check out the site for details & go give her money! We need Morales OUT!!!! www.blythepotter.com

Great interview! It’s good to see someone with so much energy & enthusiasm running against Morales! Blythe Potter for Indiana Secretary of State✅ Let’s go Hoosiers….we need someone to fight for our right to vote! @blythepotter.bsky.social Thanks to @hoosleft.us for another fantastic podcast

Reagan was an actor - a pitchman who sold us cigarettes and neoliberal austerity, both of them sh*t which'll unalive you long-term. Trump is an actor - selling a surveillance state run by trillionaires, fa$cistic neofeudalism.

Imagine this, Indiana: a state that values your input and WANTS you to vote. Our turnout is just about the worst in the US. What if we followed other states' lead and proactively sent our citizens what they need to participate in their democracy?

Faux News gave airtime to a shooting that happened in #Indy over the weekend. Funny how they never cared until Trump decided that he needs to send the national guard out to get us all in line. #Indiana is a state that doesn't require permits or safe storage for guns & we have a shooting weekly.

Jesus was a communist 1800 years before Marx. I'm a nonbeliever, but I could get behind someone spittin' fire and brimstone from the left. Those who've coopted and weaponized faith for personal and political gain have a special place in hell.

You either believe in freedom: The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, or you don't. Full stop. No compromise, no discussion.

Free market policies are what have decimated rural communities. Democrats cannot compete in these communities by adopting tired Republican ideas. What is OUR VISION for rural America?

Every Hoosier needs to see this. That's my hometown and they're coming for yours next. #DataCenter #BigTech #Oligarchy https://youtu.be/jjkaYyysYhA

Anyone with “press credentials” now should throw them in the trash. A news organization that keeps them is announcing they are no longer credible.

Ask yourself why 60-70% (or more) of us agree on all of the major, contentious issues of our time, yet our leaders can't implement our demands. Who benefits from keeping us fighting?

Red state legislatures like here in #Indiana suppress turnout through various means - gerrymandering, purging the rolls, making voting as inconvenient as possible. How could a Democratic Secretary of State work around them? Full episode at HoosLeft.US

If believing we can have better stuff more effectively and efficiently through government, collectively, makes me a socialist - then call me comrade.

Indiana Republicans know most voters don't approve of their policies. Do they change their policies to appeal to more voters? NO! They just make it harder to vote. @BlythePotterIN is running for Secretary of State to change this. Out tomorrow at hoosleft.us

Why is Indiana's voter turnout among the worst in the country? @BlythePotterIN is running for SoS next year to improve participation, and she's my guest on this week's HoosLeft Podcast. Out tomorrow at hoosleft.us

The bandaid is off. We see the deep, festering wound of American racism and domination. MAGA: ivermectin and prayer Liberals: alcohol wipe and another bandaid Socialists: antibiotics

I know people are bored with “resistance” but it worked, whatever this is Isn’t working.

You've heard of a Chicago-style hot dog, but have you heard of a Chicago-style TACO? Trump Always Chickens Out when met with REAL pushback - the kind Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker met him with. So instead, the president will target Memphis. https://youtu.be/gR-SeXJ_K9o

Above a certain level, politicians are completely disconnected from the reality of their constituents' lives. You think these multimillionaires and billionaires actually care about you. Let's get more regular people in there.

Billionaire control of government is like sharks patrolling your local beach. We don't need less regulation - we need more taxation! Full episode at hoosleft.us #EatTheRich #MMT

All new parents who do not name their babies after Charlie Kirk will be prosecuted. by Pam Bondi

Campaigns need a ground game and airwaves. Social media, events, fairs, parades are vital.

Is the American Dream possible anymore? 50 years of trickle down economics have rendered social mobility in the US nearly impossible. Is the American Dream still alive? Yeah, but it's living in Europe.

@indems.bsky.social have confirmed that #PeteButtigieg will be at the Statehouse on Thursday afternoon to help #Hoosiers say #HellNo to midterm redistricting. Spread the word & pack the house! www.mobilize.us/indems/event... @woodenstares.bsky.social @hoosleft.us @indivisiblenwi.bsky.social

Indiana GOP politicians follow the script and move up the ranks. State-level Democrats are left to fend for themselves.

Because Kirk, like Buckley, made a career out of pushing white supremacist politics behind a mask of polite civility?

A close adviser to the president who has prompted important staffing changes in the security state (and a crazy person)

I actually think the political fallout of this incident is extremely convoluted on both sides of the pacific, and that you can't really explain it without explaining america's new eugenicists, prevalence of redpill shit in korea, and transpacific rhetorical conflation of china/left

I hope nobody finds my tweets about how the Bears suck and sends them to my employer demanding my termination for speaking ill of the dead
