We deserve a government that works for the people.

Families aren't getting paid. Services are stalled. And Republicans like Matt Van Epps and his friends in D.C. don't care if you have healthcare.

I'm going to DC to fight for you.

It’s also that they are perpetuating and rewarding that bad content by participating and driving advertising revenue to such a desolate place.

BEHN: β€œFeed kids. Fix roads. And fund hospitals. Instead of handing out corporate tax breaks.”

TN-07 Democratic nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social puts her people-first priorities front and center in a high-energy victory speech

Now, we’re taking this momentum into the general β€” because our communities deserve a representative who fights for us, not corporate donors.

Let’s finish the job. πŸ—³οΈ

NOT BACKED BY THE POWERBROKERS, BACKED BY THE PEOPLE

I've always been the underdog, the one they said couldn’t win. But we outworked them then, and we’ll do it again now. This campaign is for everyone who’s ever been underestimated.

A quote from journalist Chris Hedges about how Marx predicted the end stage of unregulated capitalism would lead to the devouring of society itself to keep the markets growing.

It’s not possible to find one lens to explain the moment we’re living in.

But the idea that hyper financialization has turned society into an asset class to be raided in order to get stock prices up is pretty close.

It’s a soap opera, not a sport. It’s athletic, sure, but the endings are pre-planned and opponents coordinate with each other. It’s manufactured melodrama, not a sporting competition.

TENNESSEE WOMEN ARE RAGE VOTING

A small glimpse into early vote totals shows that women are outvoting men 65% to 35%! This gap may decrease, but women are using this race to show they are fed up with what's going on. Aftyn is the only woman seeking the Democratic nomination.
