Aftyn Behn and her team did a great job! She won a primary that included moderates.

Every county in the district shifted left and she won her portion of Nashville with ~80%. She was the right candidate.

The GOP engaged in misinformation, intimidation, gerrymandering and voter suppression to win.

2026 is going to be juicy

Van Epps is projected to win, by how much is still a question.

But just to show the difference in the map since last year we have 2024 and 2025 AP News side by side.

The red is most of those eastern counties is a lot lighter.

55% of the vote in and Behn is barely behind.

Let's see how this goes.

Aftyn Behn has run an amazing campaign! I know that her, her staff, her volunteers and so many more have worked so incredibly hard.

Regardless of a win or not tonight, she has accomplished an incredible feat!

Many years ago I moved from NM to NC with my newly enlisted husband. We bought a $500 station wagon and packed what we could fit, and made the journey to NC. Around 9pm in the middle of Nowhere Tennessee we got a flat tire, with no spare. The tow truck driver drove us an hour away to the tow yard,

Tennessee today is the day! If you live in the 7th district go vote!

Aftyn Behn stands for the people of Tennessee, working people, and kids. That other guy is beholden to billionaires. We don't need more of that.

This Coloradan hopes to see Aftyn win today!

This is horrific

Tennessee you have Election Day tomorrow Dec. 2nd!

If I could vote for Aftyn Behn I would, but I don't live there. She seems to genuinely care about the people of Tennessee and wants to improve what life looks like day to day.

Please go vote! Vote for Aftyn!

I once wrote an entire essay about how much I didn't want to write the essay and why. But it followed the guidelines of the assignment and I got an A.

The essay that calls people demonic strays so far from the assignment guidelines we don't even know what article it was supposed to analyze.

Last day of NAHM: This one has been hard, even as a white person. The amount of anti-Indigenous sentiment has been hard to see.

I've found an amazing amount of people to follow, whose viewpoints I really appreciate.

I wish this country was better.

One of my docs asked me to try an anti-inflammatory/AIP diet out again after years of being off of it.

I'm sad to report that it seems to be working so far.

I like sugar, and cheese, and bread, and gluten.

It seems this may have to be a lifelong change for me.

The Sand Creek Massacre occurred on November 29th and 30th 1864 in Colorado. US Soldiers attacked Cheyenne and Arapaho villagers who believed they were at peace with the United States. Most of those in the massacre were women and children.

It's clear Trump and Hegseth are attempting to label people terrorists to get around the law.

There's little to no proof these people are smuggling drugs. If they were, smuggling drugs is not a reason to execute people.

The military is not meant to be judge jury and executioner.

This is a crime

Absolutely furious today about a health care system that has pitted patients and professionals against each other.

A country at war with Brown and Black people.

Religious indoctrination that says anyone else is an enemy.

And all the AHs who benefit.

It's Native American Heritage Day.

Indigenous Americans (First Nations) are still here, and deserve to be celebrated.

The people who came from Europe and later the federal government lied, betrayed treaties, and committed genocide against Indigenous people.

But they are still here.

Whoever organized the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade had some things to say!

It is still Native American Heritage Month!

Our family celebrates Thanksgiving, but for us it is about family and togetherness.

Happy Thanksgiving is you celebrate. Happy Thursday if you don't.

Update to the update: Gov Morrisey of West Virginia has said they haven't passed.

I hope this doesn't have to be corrected again.

Update: The Guard members both passed. Absolutely horrific day for them, their friends and family, their unit, and America.

Sadly the response this moment needs is probably not what is going to happen.

I've been battling a pretty intense infection and haven't been keeping up with everything. I've spent most of the day playing catch up, and logged on to insanity.

I hope the National Guard members pull through, as well as the shooter so they can face justice.

Mark Kelly and the rest of the Dems who spoke about honoring the oath of service spoke about words that are part of the oath.

They didn't break the law or inspire insurrection, they encouraged service members to follow the law. Miller and Hegseth are unhinged wanna bes.

A clinical social worker who did their best to abuse my child and I while we were at a major pediatric hospital is giving classes on how to work with families with trauma, and I just can't.

One of the memorable moments with her was me begging for support and help, and her words to me verbatim were

I've been fighting an infection, so I've missed days.

Native American Heritage Month Day 18.

One of my adoptive moms is Native. My time with her are some of my most cherished memories. There are a million things I could write about her and the time, none of these posts can adequately cover it.
