If Dems/Independents want to win in Iowa in 2026, here's the platform:

- Reversing school vouchers + taking back public education (which has historically been the state's pride and joy)
- The cancer crisis! Iowa has the fastest growing rate of new cancer cases in America. Rs have done/said nothing

Damn I haven't been on here in a damn minute but let me catch y'all up on Iowa politics:

- Iowa's Republicans in DC are getting a heavy dose of well-earned bad PR (hi, Joni Ernst and Ashley Hinson)
- Nathan Sage and JD Scholten have both announced a run against Senator Ernst. Zach Wahls is rumored

OP: @lizfromiowa.bsky.social

Thankfully, I think I can sit this one out - both Jennifer Konfrst and Sarah Trone Garriott are EXCELLENT candidates - and WILL defeat Zach Nunn in 2026...if he has the guts to run.

Join us on the 11th for our June Meetup! @konfrst.bsky.social , @lizfromiowa.bsky.social + @sarahbooz.bsky.social are confirmed to speak. 6pm @ Rookie's in Clive. See you there!

superbowl commercials this year were insane.

lmaoooooo bye losers. Thankful for Kendrick Lamar saving the night.

I dare you to call into work and show up for one of these upcoming days ‘on the hill’ at the Iowa State Capitol 👀👀

More than ever, our legislators need to hear from the constituents they serve about issues that MATTER.

The blind items are alleging the Obamas are separating and I WILL BE SPEAKING TO MY THERAPIST ABOUT IT.

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds gave her Condition of the State last night. Here are my takeaways:

- Iowa does not need a "DOGE" department. The GOP-led government is already delivering below the bare minimum for its citizens

- Creating work requirements for Medicare recipients will harm people in need

I think people should leave their Christmas lights up indefinitely.

The communal enjoyment of fun lighting should not contained to 2 months of the year.

My favorite conspiracy theory is that Donald Trump will face accountability for his actions

winding down my time on TikTok and saying goodbye to 87k followers over the next few days 😔

hoping to find community again on Blue Sky. Any Midwesterners wanna be friends?
