Hoping this is the future of our party and of our nation.

There's no doubt that @aoc.bsky.social has changed the trajectory of American politics. Grateful to have her with us on the ground across Michigan to strengthen our movement to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All.

I already voted. I voted blue, or Independent, if there were no Democrats running, up and down the ticket. One small blue dot in red South Dakota. I choose to believe that even that small contribution makes a difference.

Fall has fell, indeed! The leaves are changing and the temperatures are dropping. It's time for yummy, cozy food, like this facaccia bread I baked in my cast iron skillet. The whole house smells so good. #Blueskybaking

In Budapest last week, I saw this heart-wrenching memorial: bronze shoes along the Danube. They honor the men, women and children, mostly Jewish, forced to remove their shoes before being shot on the riverbank and then swept away by the river in the final months of WWII. A reminder. A warning.

We went for a drive through Spearfish Canyon, in South Dakota's Black Hills today. The leaves are changing so beautifully. Saw five mountain goats including two mama and baby pairs.

Traveling in stunningly beautiful Budapest for the second time this year. Such deep and fascinating political and architectural history keeps drawing me back. #Budapest

From the Underground Railroad to theThe NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, quilting has been a time-honored, deliberate act of resistance and political storytelling. Check out the banner for my account here for one young woman's just such statement in bright red South Dakota. #quilting #protest

Quilters, immigrant rights advocates and an interfaith coalition unveiled the Stolen Neighbors Quilt at the Minnesota State Capitol on Tuesday to honor Minnesotans detained by federal immigration enforcement - and advocate on their behalf.

STOP SCROLLING Why I’m sounding the alarm: VoteSafe. org is run by Elon Musk’s America PAC, the same political operation working to turn out Republican voters in the midterms. The site collects voter and political info, and allows your information to be shared or sold to business partners.

Stitched by hand. Hung with courage at a quilt show in bright red South Dakota. A reminder that patriotism isn’t silence or blind allegiance. It is caring enough about our country to speak when something is wrong and believing deeply enough in America to insist that we live up to its promises. 🇺🇸

She lived such an important life. Her words and actions taught me about feminism and women's rights as a teenager. I am a proud and informed feminist because she lived - because she lit that spark in me that has never dimmed. Today we honor her work, her wisdom, and her passion.

They are running scared. They fully understand that one of the best ways to reform the Supreme Court is to add to its numbers. (Also age and term limits.) This should be a priority for Democrats.

I lived in Oregon for more than forty years. I voted by mail exclusively. There was never a problem. Sat at my kitchen table and researched anything i didn't fully understand. This is a manufactured problem created because the Republicans can't win unless they cheat.

This is such an important story.👇 Opponents of President Donald Trump’s dangerous executive order restricting mail voting say there’s a simple motivation behind the scheme: Democrats vote by mail more than Republicans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Some mornings the Black Hills seem reluctant to fully awaken. This morning was one of those mornings. The mist settled low across the meadow and turned the world unusually quiet. In the distance, Elkhorn Mountain rose through the haze, visible only enough to remind us of its presence.

Here in #SouthDakota Democrats can hardly get elected. #BrianBengs used to be a Dem but is now an Independent. Will that help? We can only hope. He has been my choice from the beginning to take down #MikeRounds who supports Trump's corrupt administration. #VoteDems www.kotatv.com/2026/08/18/i...
