Back in the early 2000s my political consciousness shifted from an uncritical and uneducated moderate/center-right position to a Left then eventually #socialist position. Discovering and regularly watching #DemocracyNow was a major influence in that shift. Watching DN began my journey to learning about #Palestine and US history in #LatinAmerica and so so much more. It's great to see Democracy Now! still going strong. Truly an amazing resource and amazing people.
