I live in a blue state (NM) with a fantastic governor

((Lujan-Grisham) but I wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to all those in red states red districts and so on. Every day is so hard for me and my family seeing the destruction all around us in real time.

Has to be so much harder for our DU friends out there in red states red districts.

Here is to you friends. We march for you!

Let’s go make history tomorrow.

Today I was describing the feeling of the first time you are surrounded by like minded people. It’s hard fought to get in such a place in Texas. Blessings from NM. Visit when you can.

and that’s to be determined. Blackstone is trying to buy PNM. Bernhardt Capital Partners is trying to buy the gas company. These same vultures hold stakes in data centers so we’ll end up paying for their free electricity and gas.

Hey, what's this I hear about Texas wanting to annex a couple of counties - I presume Lea and Eddy?

Iowa here. I think this is going to be a good year for Dems in the fall. Here's hoping we can flip governor, senate seat, house seats, & more!
