Island of the Blue Dolphins spoke the the loneliness I felt as a kid. Then, decades later, I read it out loud to my Kid's 4th grade class and watched it hit one student in particular the same way it'd hit me.

There are a lot of non-beltway Democrats running for office who know how to fight. I'm working on the congressional campaign for @kyleforillinois.bsky.social who's determined to unseat Mary Miller. He's a union guy who hass helped workers at every turn and isn't the type to back down.
