American Dreaming covers a wide range of subjects, including politics, culture, social commentary, public policy, science, philosophy, history, satire, book reviews, and more. AD doesn’t fit neatly into any partisan or ideological box. You can find articles that seem progressive, conservative, centrist, libertarian, populist, elitist, or even Marxist. American Dreaming is none of these things. The views expressed here are varied — and few punches are pulled — but the writing also reflects a sincere effort to get the facts right and to be objective, nuanced, and fair. The only loyalties you’ll find here are to liberal principles — not sides, tribes, or parties.
At American Dreaming, I publish the kinds of essays that I, as a reader, would want to read. And I want to read colorful, thought-provoking writing that will challenge my views and present me with unexpected perspectives. What bores me are publications where I can predict everything the author is going to say without even having to read it. You won’t agree with everything published here. Some of it will positively piss you off. It is my hope, however, that all of it will at least spark some thought.
New articles are published every Friday. By signing up, you’ll get every new piece beamed directly into your inbox. American Dreaming is free, though if you want to support the work monetarily, there is also the option to be a paid subscriber. But again, it’s not required. You can also support the work on Patreon.
