Tennessee voters need to understand something before they walk into a primary this year… because the state has not done a good job explaining it. And no one is talking about it. When you go vote, you’re going to be asked to sign a primary participation form. That part isn’t new.

We keep seeing the same patterns... something terrible happens, we post, we vent, we get the rush… and then the system keeps moving like we were never there. That’s not because people don’t care. It’s because that feeling we get after posting isn’t power.

Merry Christmas! 🎄 If you’re in one of the hard places, where “Democrat” gets used like an insult and showing up to a meeting feels like volunteering to be somebody’s punching bag… YOU are seen!

There’s a very specific kind of person who runs for office. You’ve seen them. The folks who think being everywhere is the same thing as being needed. The “it’s my turn” crowd.

All of this is the drumbeat of the authoritarian playbook in real time… doxxing, firings, silencing, punishment. And it isn’t a question of if this gets worse. It’s only when.

One bullet has tilted the ground beneath us. But before Charlie Kirk’s family could even plan a funeral, the right has already turned his death into a weapon.

And what do we get? We get to hold each other up. We get to keep fighting, exhausted and angry, because that’s all there is. It’s easy to feel so damn tired. But we’re still here, doing whatever we can because that’s all we have left. No light at the end of the tunnel. Just each other.

Chase Lindsey @benjaminchase.bsky.social · 25/06/2025
The truth? We never did the groundwork. We haven’t invested in the counties. We haven’t built the trust. We havent trained the people. And now we're standing in a field, looking around, wondering why nothings grown. It's the pattern Democrats keep repeating.

I don’t know if y’all saw the memo Trump just put out… The one federalizing 2,000 National Guard troops AND opening the door for unlimited active-duty military to be used against protests.

Chase Lindsey @benjaminchase.bsky.social · 09/06/2025
Kristi Noem warned that if Biden federalized the National Guard, it would be a dangerous, unconstitutional power grab. Now Trump’s done exactly, she’s not just silent. She’s all in. So what happened??

If you’re thinking about running - especially in places where winning feels like a long shot, but showing up still changes the math - start here.

THIS IS THE ISSUE. A Democratic staffer was handcuffed by DHS agents inside Rep. Nadler’s office, and when asked how Democrats would respond, Jeffries had nothing. No plan. No urgency. If this is the response, we have a bigger problem: our leaders may not be built for this moment.

Chase Lindsey @benjaminchase.bsky.social · 28/05/2025
This is part of the problem. Americans have no idea who actually lives in this country. We massively overestimate how many people are rich, gay, trans, or immigrants, and underestimate the folks who make up the real majority. That disconnect isn’t harmless. It’s political.

You might have seen the viral meme claiming Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” would let him cancel elections, ignore the Supreme Court, and criminalize protests. It’s a lie.

I’ve run campaigns in deep red places. I’ve helped candidates win where nobody thought they could - and I’ve watched others burn out before they ever knocked a single door. So I’m kicking off a new series on Project Battleground

You’d never know this was the same government tearing families apart. The way they talk about these (white) refugees—smiles, flags-you’d think they forgot they’re deporting Black and Brown families every single day. With Trump, it’s not about what’s right. It’s about who’s white

I’ve been told more than once that I know just enough to get myself in trouble—and just little enough to act a fool. I recognized the words when I saw them in the headlines: habeas corpus. I knew it sounded like something I should probably know.

Trump’s budget isn’t just a list of cuts. It’s a roadmap of who gets left behind. I broke the numbers down through the eyes of one Tennessee family doing everything right—and still falling behind.

This isn’t just numbers on a spreadsheet. It’s a moral document. A decision about whose lives are worth investing in— and whose are too expensive to matter.

They say it’s about “cutting waste.” But let’s be real: What they mean is you are the waste.

It slashes public education. Guts Medicaid. Eliminates home energy assistance. Makes it harder to feed your kids. Harder to care for your parents. Harder to afford even a moment of peace.

Donald Trump just released his 2026 proposed budget. And if you’re a working family—living check to check, hoping that last $20 stretches to June—this budget wasn’t written for you. It was written to forget you.

Welp. In a stunning development no one saw coming (sure, Jan)— Microsoft just announced a 25% price hike because of Trump’s tariffs. And it’s not just gaming consoles. Bikes. Scooters. Baseball gloves. Everything your kid plays with? Climbing in price.

Those of us who are white don’t always see it. The fear. The silence. The second backpack full of documents. The knock at the door. We’re told it’s not happening in our community. But whose community is that, really? redstatebluevoter.substack.com/p/it-cant-ha...

This is MAGA cosplay at its peak. Tough talk. War paint. Big words about “leading the breach.” But when the Capitol was actually under attack? Markwayne Mullin hid. Now he’s playing dress-up for Pete Hegseth….

The Supreme Court interprets the law. The President enforces it. That’s not just tradition—it’s the damn Constitution. “Co-equal branches” doesn’t mean Uno reverse cards. It means checks and balances.

Sit down. The unions are speaking. NABTU President Sean McGarvey isn’t mincing words: “We demand Kilmar Abrego Garcia be returned to us and his family NOW. Bring him home.” This isn’t just one voice—it’s the voice of labor, and they’re not backing down.

We need to talk about what’s happening in Tennessee. Republicans are pushing a bill that would let public schools deny enrollment to undocumented kids. It’s not a warning — it’s happening. Quietly. Quickly. And it’s part of a national plan to rewrite civil rights law.

Republicans are doing the meme! They ran on helping struggling Americans—now they’re telling them to go f*ck themselves. They pushed an anti-imagination platform, saying “We have struggling Americans here”—and are now ripping healthcare and food away from the very people they claimed to care about

BREAKING: House Republicans have released their budget resolution. They are aiming to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion, and cut SNAP by at least 20%. They’re also planning to cut Medicare, Social Security, and public schools—all while coveringg a 4.5T tax cut for their donors.

The truth is, Tennessee isn’t going to flip tomorrow. We don’t have the numbers to be anything but a vocal opposition party right now. But here’s the thing—numbers aren’t static. They grow when we build. And that’s the only way forward: we build.
