Beyond The Dumpster Fire: Political Predictions For 2018 (Gonzo Notes)
2017 was a challenging year, but one that was actually rewarding on a personal level. I began the year by losing my job at MintPress News, but by the end of the 2017 I’d accepted a position as editor of Ministry of Hemp, a niche media site that’s still in its early stages but rapidly growing into a respected voice.
What is Gonzo Notes?
“Gonzo Notes,” my free mailing list, launched December 1, 2016.
At least once a month, subscribers receive analysis of current events, simple tips to make your activism safer and more effective, and links to my recent writing.
I’m not just a journalist, but also an activist and organizer dedicated to building a better world. My writing focuses on issues of inequality, the war on drugs, human rights, and social justice, and Gonzo Notes is another way to share my viewpoint with my readers and fans.
There’s a lot happening in the world, from the election of an egotistical neo-fascist to the White House to the continued crackdown on basic civil liberties under a growing police state. In Gonzo Notes, I give you my ideas about what’s happening, and maybe what you can do about it.
I won’t ever sell this mailing list to anyone, or use it to send you commercial garbage. I will share a few links I like, promote other writers I enjoy, and let you know new ways to support my writing.
You can unsubscribe at any time.
