Summary:
"For Sanders, things didn't end with the election of Donald Trump; they're just getting started. The U.S. Senator from Vermont follows up his New York Times best-selling Our Revolution with further directives on pursuing a progressive agenda today"--
Sanders, a Democratic presidential candidate, popular senator, and respected economist, traces the first year of the Trump administration. The chronological progression of the entries detail the struggles he and his colleagues have waged against Trump's reactionary agenda from June, 2016 to the present. The good news is we're making progress... but maintaining a vibrant democracy is more difficult than ever.
