Hi. I’m Jack Cameron. This is my newsletter. I don’t typically use this newsletter to write about politics and that’s not likely to change any time soon. That said, we are living in times where not paying attention is dangerous.
In order to stay sane I'm doing my best to only pay attention to the news on the weekends. This allows me to live my life without pulling my hair out in public or just screaming into pillows or pissing on Cybertrucks. I can go through the week working, writing, and talking with friends and family.
It would be nice to ignore the news and politics entirely, but that's not being a responsible citizen and that's something we need to think more about.
Personally, I do NOT believe social media or anything we post on social media is going to save our country. So the resources listed below aren’t for making memes. They’re for making history out in the real world.
What I've gathered below are some links I've found to good information and ways to get into what legendary Civil Rights Activist and Congressman John Lewis called 'good trouble'.
Use these resources and share them widely. Bookmark this page.
This is list is FAR from complete and a living document beginning. I will update as I become aware of more available tools.
