It is now the norm to go from kindergarten to PhD without reading a single word of Homer, Plato, Augustine, or Dante. This is how you erase a culture, and it's working. That's why we started an independent group dedicated to the study and preservation of the Western canon of literature — the books that built our civilization. To preserve a culture, you must continually study the books and ideas that created it. If the schools and universities won't teach the great texts of Western Civilization, we will do it ourselves. If this sounds like something you'd like to be part of, please join. We read a new classic together every month, and meet biweekly to discuss. To support our efforts, please consider a paid subscription. It makes a huge difference to the time and resources we can dedicate to this. We are funded ENTIRELY by the members of this community who wish to keep our efforts going. Paid members get: - Live book club discussions (biweekly) - Essays to guide you through the books we're reading - The full archive of discussions and essays - Access to the community chat room - Ability to vote on what we read next Join us!

I know it can feel like a different era sometimes. But fifteen years ago, I signed the Affordable Care Act into law. Now nearly 50 million people have received health care through the ACA. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the Affordable Care Act is a reminder that change is possible when we keep fighting for progress.
