The path forward will require engaging locally. Start where you are. I’ve seen this proven true so many times 👇🏾

so far the only explanation i've seen that doesn't smack of "if only she'd listen to me she would have won" is "global discontent with incumbents because of inflation and post-pandemic malaise + toxic information environments"

RIP Make America Healthy Again Trump’s proposed 100% tariffs on Mexico would be catastrophic for food insecurity and nutrition in the US.

Bidenomics Is Starting to Transform America. Why Has No One Noticed? Asks the New Yorker. Hmm… Could it be because y’all’s colleagues are more interested in the old man’s verbal gaffes that your editors put on the front page while burying all this boring good governance stuff deep inside?
