I enjoy reading @thedanrather.bsky.social’s newsletter Steady, and I am a subscriber. His views are informed by his lifetime of experience as a journalist. He’s seen America go through a lot of things. I highly recommend it!

A reminder to read more than the top stories in the news. The small ones matter too.

Don't let them get away with it.
