Welcome to my first of many posts here… an introduction of sorts. This at least weekly newsletter will serve (as its title suggests) as a form of conversation with you. I will, of course, discuss politics as you would expect. Still, I also intend to use this space to address politics-adjacent topics related to society & culture, which seem to touch each of our lives in a more directly noticeable and tangible way than politics often seem to.
As with all the media I create, I will strive to tell the unvarnished and authentic truth. Just like on YouTube or my podcast, I answer to no one but you. And I hope to hear from you… a lot. I want to hear both agreement and dissent. The last thing I want to construct is an echo chamber, in which there isn’t a challenge to widely held beliefs.
Lastly, I will endeavor to move forward in love, empathy, and respect. Kindness and compassion are characteristics that build a better world. Conversely, hate, prejudice, and bigotry will destroy it. When I am dead and gone, I feel my life will have meant something if I am remembered as a human who always punched up at the powerful and never down at the needy, oppressed, and marginalized. Starting this coming Monday, I will begin to write weekly, and I hope to see you in the comments!
So please, come on this journey with me.
My invitation to you...
As a general rule, I never subscribed to newsletters. But this one intrigues me. Go, Jesse go. May the wind be at your back
I embrace your idea of moving on with love & respect,etc. I really want to see a move from all the crazy to actual positive changes.
