You know what stories I would like to read and hear about?
People who have been pushed even more to the left/progressive/ Dem socialist side after the last several years-- and after everything happening with the Dem establishment now.

I was pretty pessimistic going into the Trump sequel and I’ve got to admit it’s much worse to an even I imagined.
New in PN: @kevinmkruse.bsky.social on why Trump 2.0 is worse than he expected
"There’s a lot that’s deeply unconstitutional here ... Trump and Musk correctly assessed that Republicans would simply submit and give up prerogatives that Congress has jealously guarded."

Now I want an annotated Richard Scarry book that shows all of the federal funding supporting that work. Farmer Alfalfa's climate mitigation grant, the NIH and CDC helping Dr. Lion, the DoE supporting Miss Honey.
Then we can explore how tariffs hurt Stitches the tailor.

A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.

The thing that Senate Democrats don't seem to understand is if *they*, the elected leaders and proud institutionalists, so easily *give up*, then the message they are communicating to is that this is either (a) all fine, actually or (b) utterly hopeless.
