Our big fundraiser coming up Monday All you can eat sweet corn, BLTs, and a pie auction. Mom made this #FUCKICE quilt inspired by you all (I’ll let her explain) and @julieblaha.bsky.social will be our hilarious auctioneer again this year! Tickets -> BradTabke.com
this is incredible: we have raised almost $35K in a single day. Split across 9 candidates that’s almost $4k per candidate. One of the candidates, @bradtabke.bsky.social, raised a TOTAL of $81K in 2024 on his way to winning by just 15 votes we just raised 5% of that in a single day. incredible
Sam@samd.bsky.social · 3d agoI love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...
Speaking of elite company... My mom attended last cycle to support my son who was running his first contested campaign. She grabbed a plate and sat next to "a very nice lady." That very nice lady was Speaker Melissa Hortman.

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d agoIs everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

it’s actually nuts how good the value is here. A good example is Brad Tabke who won in 2024 by 15 votes, resulting in the MN state house being *tied* He raised a total of $81K last election cycle. A few hundred bucks probably made the difference & decided the control of the legislature!
Thank you!!! We won by 14 votes in 2024 - and caused the MN house to be tied instead of a GOP/MAGA Majority. Appreciate all the help and please keep it coming.
