Fred is an outstanding veteran. I started following him because of his work with VoteVets, but now I just think he is funny and keeps adding to the eclectic bunch of people he knows. What a genuinely good dude!
I highly recommend The Beautiful Mess. It is very compelling to me and has become one of my daily reads. I enjoy the unfiltered and unvarnished truth, especially when it comes to religion and politics. Be prepared for some self-introspection, which the world could use more of in my opinion.
Lincoln Square is leading the fight against the orange scourge. They are behind the fantastic videos from the Lincoln Project. I've learned so much on how to fight the fascist Trump regime. If you are in the fight against fascism, you couldn't ask for a better partner than Lincoln Square.

The Bulwark is such a great value for a wannabe political enthusiast like me. Sarah is definitely my favorite contributor. Her work with focus groups is top notch and really informs us of what 'normies' are thinking.
