Bari I’ve been following you since I read your resignation letter from the NY Times. As a British person who follows US politics, culture and civic life quite closely I have found Common Sense, Honestly and TGIF to be absolutely unmissable. Thank you for building this space for real people to have real conversations about real things that matter. Mazeltov!

Yep same here! I had actually never heard of her until her resignation letter made the rounds and shortly thereafter I heard her on Megyn Kelly's podcast mentioning she was starting her own substack newsletter. I went searching for examples of her work and fell in love with her writing. I remember her very first Honestly podcast episode (about Wadi's business boycott) like it was yesterday because it gave me goosebumps. Since then I've recommended several friends who are all now subscribers as well. The clincher though was when I started reading the comment section and found an entire community of smart, humble, critical thinkers that eschewed narratives for facts and debated a wide breadth of topics respectfully and intellectually.
