Called all the CO District reps, yes even those I oppose, and those out of my district, urging them to do what's right for their constituents and the American people. Spoke with a few staffers and left vms too. Please do the same. Remember, they work for us. Red, white and very blue. 🇺🇸

Ready!

Sunday rode 68 miles and raised almost $2300 in the #RidetoendALZ. I did it so other families won't go through what ours did with my mom. As I crossed the finish line, a man came up and thanked me, telling me he has the disease. I hugged him and said, "We're gonna find you a cure." Tears flowed.

Although my dad wasn't lost in battle, as a proud veteran who enlisted when he turned 18 to fight in the Pacific Theatre, and then again for the Korean war, during which he did serve stateside, I feel he deserves to be honored. glad he isn't around to see everything we believed in being dismissed

My new hero. met her in a parking lot. she said she's making 7 calls to DC Today. i said, Rock on, sister!

From stress to beauty

Attended to my mental health this weekend. #Mentalhealthmonth

My daughter, an academic physician, has been attending a conference for the last several days. It's a shame these accomplished, well educated clinicians and researchers should have to spend their valuable time on this bullshit. But this is the world we live in.

Our spring time visiting egrets stopping by during their migration north.

It's always a good day when you see a bald eagle soaring overhead during a bike ride.

Dogs, mountains and clouds made for a peaceful weekend.

bsky.app/profile/vanh... We need more leaders like him!

The art of the steal

Very red, wealthy Paradise Valley, AZ, where i'm visiting and watching my grandkids. it made me so happy I rolled down. The windows told them if I didn't have the little ones with me I'd be out there with them and power to the people. Everyone cheered. Solidarity.

bsky.app/profile/rbre... absolutely I keep saying it's the most powerful thing we can do to fight this madness first take care of ourselves take care of others . We need our strength. Rest is important too.

www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04... Please, make it stop! Stand firmly and without fear against this awful regime! Power to the people. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

But it's getting harder and harder to find a reason to stay. But I must do so. And fight.

Had the opportunity to see/ listen to the super talented, brilliant writer, @pamlhouston.bsky.social at Boulder Book store. Much has changed in an unfortunate way since she published "Without Exception." But her voice, resolve and truth remain strong, loud and steady. Just what I needed.

This morning, I was talking to a friend and as I shared with her, 35 years ago had I known the direction this country was going today, I would not have had children. I love my two daughters as fiercely as a mother can, and now my four grands. I am so profoundly concerned about their future.

Had the opportunity to attend a book signing with the uber talented, delightful, fifth generation Coloradan, Shelley Read. She published her debut novel (at the age of 57), "Go as a river," a sometimes devastating, uplifting, historic novel set in the rugged beauty in and surrounding Iola, CO.

bsky.app/profile/keit... yes!

Wake me up when America's great. 🤦🏻‍♀️The big orange wave. 💩

Time with rescue dogs is time well spent.

On a Tesla by my gym. If you can't get rid of it, this is the next best thing

What five things will you do this week to fight, tyranny and preserve democracy? Mine: 1. Change party affiliation from Democrat to independent. 2. Volunteer 3. Donate 4. Attend a forum with my senator and AG 5. Attend a grassroots political activist group to learn and plan to do more .

We are so small. Just a pale blue dot.

earthsky.org/astronomy-es... meanwhile, for those wanting escape from the pale, blue dot... we are so small

Doing what brings me joy keeps me energized. One recent addition has been pottery, my Monday night therapy. Still a beginner, but learning. Already decided this latest piece, once completed, will hold guac. Because that too, brings me joy. It's the little things.

youtu.be/vDNCkfZLUSE So many consequences

Morning road ride, enjoying the gifts of the land they can't take away.

Shared by my friend Steve on LinkedIn. He and his wife's, @cinder2320.bsky.social , small, always successful business, has lost two clients, due to the actions of the regimes. He shared this quote by FDR, which prophetically sums things up.

Let's show up, Colorado! Want to join me for this Indivisible Colorado event? mobilize.us/s/LwsV5j

Sunday mental health care. Gym time, yoga and time at the rescue.

Needed some time in nature today to escape the madness. It did the trick.

This put the wind in my sails today. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...
