A New Deal Liberal in Pinellas County

I was afraid we'd go a full decade without America being trapped in another bloody quagmire.

I'm so relieved...

There's been a lot of good political news in the last week, but here's one closer to me:

The guy selling Trump merch from a shipping container in Madeira Beach has apparently given up.

Good riddance.

A video about how Trump & DeSantis wrecked Florida's tourist economy.

I can add my anecdotal evidence. My condo building parking lot used be full of Canadian plates. They've become increasingly rare.

Just back from the No Kings rally in St. Petersburg. Bigger turnout than the last one. Quite inspiring

Here's the sign I made:

Looking for something actually practical to do politically? I'd find out if your local Democratic party is running any training.

Today, I attended basic canvassing training and got the information and tools I need to actually start doing something.

Action beats doomscrolling, every time.

Attended the monthly meeting of Indivisible for Florida-13. Always heartening, and lots of opportunities to get involved.

If you're in Florida, check out your local chapter. If you're in or around Pinellas County, try here:

I think it's a good idea to have basic canvassing skills if you're going to be involved in politics in the next year.

Anna Paulina Luna just made yet another comparison between Charlie Kirk and Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Again: Kirk very publicly and enthusiastically criticized King within the past year and a half, calling the Civil Rights icon "a bad guy" and decrying the 1964 Civil Rights Act as a
"mistake."

Just found out I can't get a simple COVID or RSV vaccine from CVS in Florida thanks to RFK.

I sometimes think it's not the big, ugly headlines that are the best opportunity to turn people against authoritarianism, but these little issues that start to creep into ordinary peoples' lives.

I attended my first meeting of Indivisible FL-13 on Thursday. It's the progressive group that organizes in Pinellas County.

If you've got any interest in liberal/left/Democratic politics at all, I'd highly recommend checking it out.
