Here’s this week’s newsletter:

I checked your page and understand your points. You make a great argument. Those in power are treating people horrendously. But, with respect, meeting violence with violence will only lead to civil war, not justice, not a better America. I appreciate your comment but we have to find a better way.

Update: Charlie Kirk has died. Condolences to his family and fans.
This is madness. We need to come together as a country. Each side dehumanizing the other will only lead to more violence.

I am not a Charlie Kirk fan, but he did not deserve to get shot. Just like the Minnesota democratic office holder and spouse did not deserve to get killed. We are in tense times and we all need to calm down and allow the exchange of ideas over violence.
We are better than this.

This week’s newsletter offers up memorable moments, great recommendations (and one non-recommendation), a bit of fun, and a dash of advice. I hope you get a chance to check it out.
