The Soapbox: Politics and Rants
Written by Al Franken via the Atlantic My friend and hero Paul Wellstone died 10 years ago this week. I miss him. And so does pretty much anyone who cares about economic and social justice. Paul was the kind of progressive many of us strive to be — feisty, fearless, and energetic. When today’s progressives remember […]
