I hope you’re reading this while on a bus, commuting to work, getting ready to face the customers or bosses. I wanna rest your mind a bit, before all the hassle of day to day life hits. I know how it feels, I’m living through it. I’m typing this on my phone still deciding if I’m ready to share my personal space to the world. But this world gives me peace and a daily lift, readying me for the day and calming me for the night. I hope to the few people that hear this, try what I did.

Topics such as immigration/border issues, elections/campaigns, reproductive freedom, public education, economy, healthcare, criminal justice, and the environment..

An invitation to look straight at our convictions, our social wounds, and the hopes we’ve kept tucked away for years. This book is born from that curiosity we all feel at some point —whether in a casual conversation, in an improvised debate, or in those moments when reality squeezes us and we think, “If it were in my hands, I would do it differently.” This is not about empty promises or campaign speeches.

The Naked God is Howard Fast's public repudiation of the Communist Party, of which he was a devoted member for thirteen years until reading about the full scope of atrocities committed by the Soviet Union under Stalin. The best-selling author of Spartacus and Citizen Tom Paine, Howard Fast lent his writing talents and celebrity to the communist cause as a steadfast advocate and public figure. However, he felt increasingly ill at ease with the superior manner Party leaders took with rank-and-file members and with rumors of Soviet anti-Semitism.

In April 1962, President and Mrs. John F. Kennedy hosted 49 Nobel Prize winners - along with many other prominent scientists, artists, and writers - at a famed White House dinner. Held at the height of the Cold War, the dinner symbolizes a time when intellectuals were esteemed, divergent viewpoints could be respectfully discussed at the highest level, and the great minds of an age might all dine together in the rarefied glamour of "the people's house."
