bedlamsbard @bedlamsbard.bsky.social · 1hUniversity homecoming parade today, a.k.a. prime campaigning opportunity for all of SD's election candidates on all sides. The fact that the university colors are bright red may send some mixed messages, but the Dems got the biggest cheers. Bengs was also here in person shaking hands. 000
