I lived in Montgomery County, TN for several years over my 2 tours with the 101st. It’s part of the 7th CD now. It was represented by Marsha Blackburn then. Today I hope my neighbors there will get out and vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social They deserve a rep that cares about them and will fight.

I just gave to Gina Ortiz Jones! Show your support with a contribution.

Dems need to fight EVERYWHERE, esp. locally. San Antonio is the nation's 7th largest city, and its mayoral election is coming up. If Gina Ortiz Jones wins, it'll send a powerful signal. She's a vet, former Air Force Under Secretary, an all-around badass, and a good friend. Please chip in.

Right now teaching feels so important. My students are engaged, often staying after class to talk with me or to talk with guest speakers. More students are coming to class and doing the readings. If they shut us down I will teach in the park or the library. The only way forward is through together.
