Ty again for your writing. I subscribe to many on sub stack to become informed but I have to say I resonate most with your views. This is super helpful in learning to navigate and find your truth.
I have recently been struck by people who intelligently use their minds to make sense of what is happening. Although I had a great education I really don’t think I was taught critical thinking. I am 65 and a nurse. A labor and birth nurse… I learned a lot about empathy and had awareness and thinking to care for my patients but using my mind to understand the world at large was not something I learned. I am learning it now. I used my spirit to understand the big picture but using my mind to have critical thinking was not present. I really appreciate this as I navigate my way through the political nightmare unfolding and well…your perspective and insights help. Ty I will share this with all the thinkers in my life.
If I’m locked in with somebody who insists on cable news I try to steer them to BBC News America. They cover the world so they spend almost no time with discussion panels, the worst thing cable news does.
We had a dog who wouldn’t eat his biscuit on the kitchen floor. We had to shoo him through the carpeted living room into the room with a little washable throw rug where he’d eat it. Dog food in a bowl was OK despite the bowl being on linoleum.

And I love your dog!

Pro Publica is top on my sources. I get The Marshall Project news letter which is a great resource as well.
