For the past 18+ years, I’ve written about the intersection of law, policy, and the American workplace. But more and more, the news I feel compelled to cover—and the commentary I’m driven to write—has expanded far beyond employment law and HR drama.
Because the truth is, something much bigger is happening in this country.
America today barely resembles the nation it claims to be. In our institutions, our politics, and even our public discourse, we’re beginning to mirror the authoritarianism we’ve spent the last 249 years claiming to oppose. We’re becoming what the Founding Fathers created this country to resist.
So I’ve launched something new: Authoritarian Alarm—a Substack newsletter dedicated to tracking America’s quickening slide into authoritarianism. My first post is now available: We’ve become everything we’ve fought against for 249 years.
If you’ve valued my perspective on these issues before, I hope you’ll join me there. Subscribe, share, and help me sound the alarm.
Because silence is complicity.
And democracy doesn’t defend itself.
