Curious as to whom everyone follows for their news and information? Is it a channel, a person, a paper – is it on Facebook, Instagram, the television, and if so, who is it?
I’m not a TV person, so I tend to find my news via certain people I follow on social media:
Heather Cox Richardson – one of my long term faves. An American historian and professor of history, she posts a daily “Letters From An American” which I find to be an excellent, up to the second recap of what’s happening, as well as how it relates to the past and how we should look at the future.
Rachel Maddow – I just love her. I’d love to have her to dinner sometime. Her mannerisms and expressions are just what I need to digest all the awfuls of the world.
Pete Buttigieg – I love his intelligent, down to earth, thoughts and explanations.
Kris & Dave – for an occational laugh interspersed with the serious material, these two digital creators describe themselves as “a couple of southern, middle-ish aged liberal veterans.” A variety of wonderful content and contacts.
sharonsaysso on Instagram – known as “America’s Government Teacher”, she posts some great info.
And finally, did anyone else follow Taryn Smith as she rowed across the Atlantic? What an adventure by one awesome person!
Love to hear any suggestions for some other great follows!

Sort of followed her rowing. I’ve long known I didn’t want to sail solo across the ocean; now I know I want to row across even less. That said, congrats to her and her endurance. Glad she made it safely.
