Netroots Nation, the annual gathering of progressive bloggers and activists, brought 3,000 folks to Providence this weekend, and for those of us of of a like mind, walking through the RI Convention Center is like a delightful visit to Rush Limbaugh's worst nightmare.

I've been covering the event all day on Twitter (where you can follow along at the hashtag #nn12) and it's an amazing experience. Particular favorites: Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse organized a killer panel on Citizens United, and Diane Ravitch was on a panel on the war on education.

There's livestreaming of a lot of the sessions, so you can check it out from home.
