I am liberal. I try to be fair and open to different opinions. I live in NE Minnesota, retired, wife, mother of 4, Mimi (grandmother) of 9 plus 3 bonus. I enjoy our great outdoors and traveling to see new sights.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

The "Joe Rogan for the left" everyone is looking for isn't a podcast, it's a union.

250 years ago today America began its march toward independence at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The battles marked “No Kings Day, Part I.” Today millions of Americans will take part in “No Kings Day, Part II.”

With false information widespread online, it can be hard to sort fact from fiction, especially for students. Professors Caufield & Wineburg have been testing out strategies for more than a decade, and they’ve figured out some effective methods that even middle schoolers can learn.

If your response to yesterday’s millions of people marching is that they were all paid operatives…you’re desperate, deluded, and scared.

And lying.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race.

I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:
I'm Not Running in 2026, But I Am Getting to Work
We all have work to do in delivering a better kind of politics for America.
