I strive to share unique insights at the intersection of politics, policy, and history you are unlikely to find anywhere else. I’m also not about shouting opinions or changing your mind, but on thinking differently and evolving how we engage in politics and social media with civility and respect.

If something “triggers” you here, don’t blame me. A podcast version of this blog is coming soon. Queries, corrections, and comments are welcome.
