love today's piece from @lyz.bsky.social as a former Iowan raised in the Methodist church who's returned in later years (as an agnostic)... it's about community, and it's important we fine some, less so where we find and share it.

to add to Lyz's point: some of the most hardcore Trumpers I talked to also loved Bernie.
it's not about liking Trump's policies. it's about giving a "f you" to the system shitting on them, which is exactly what socialism does in this moment.
