Sunday Paper for the Week of August 22-28

Your support keeps me in the fight and is greatly appreciated!Hello Everyone!I wanted to try something a little different this week. I thought it might be fun to provide you with a listing of all my articles so that you can peruse them like you would a Sunday newspaper.I realize I overwhelm your inboxes with content. My objective is to respond to the tidal waves of lies and misinformation that’s constantly shoved in our faces. It can feel like an overwhelming task, but I’ve seen some evidence that it’s working. I’ve been having so many conversations with brilliant and accomplished people, that I’ve made great progress in overcoming my reluctance to speak the truth.In fact, I didn’t even realize how much I was programmed to stay silent in the face of lies. Perhaps that’s the greatest deceit of this country that claims to be dedicated to “freedom.”Anyway, depending on the reaction to this post, I might include this every week. I’m putting it under the “Empowering progressive writers” tag. So, if you get too much from me and only want to read the Sunday Summary, subscribe only to that tag and it will reduce your inbox clutter. Here’s the instructions on how to do that again:Here’s last week.Friday 8/22Entitled American Outrage Is the Cancer that Will Kill the World(audio) How To Make Yourself Useful Even When You're Just a Writer(Substack live replay with Dr. Allison Wiltz) How to Resist Fascism NOW!Saturday 8/23How Can Writers Stop Paying the Major Retailer Tax?(Substack live replay with Ben Ulansey and Maggie Jon) Escapist Delights in a Crumbling Democracy(audio) I'm So Sick of Delusional and Incompetent White SupremacistsSunday 8/24My Daughters Gave Me a Haircut and the Word 'Mohawk' Was in the Air(Substack live replay with The Mouthy Renegade Writer) Meet My Writing Mentor, Walter Rhein!(Audio) Harris Lost Because Centrists Killed Build Back BetterMonday(audio) I Believe in Universal Education So My Newsletter Must Be Free(audio) When Is it Ever Going to End?TuesdayEvil Forces Hide Their Crimes by Cultivating the Shame of the Innocent(audio) How Can People Ignore the Horrific Abuses of Law Enforcement?And a Substack Replay with Nick Paro and Frederic Poag :WednesdayI Know Why Rural Populations Are Vulnerable To The Lies Of Tyrants(Substack live replay with Robert Danna): Discussing Physics and Curiosity with Author Robert Danna(Audio) Remember How Everyone Celebrated When the Emperor In 'Star Wars' Died?ThursdayImagine Being Forced Into Becoming a Perverted Conservative's "Porn Accountability" BuddySubstack replay with Will Fullwood:(audio) America Has Moderate and Radical Conservatives, but No LiberalsWhew!
