Welcome to Notes to My Future Self — regular videos about our slide into autocracy.
The purpose of these is to shine a light on things we will want to look back on when we wonder what happened. Or when we think about how close we came to losing it all.
I post these 90-second videos a few times a week, focusing on something you might not have seen, or something people aren’t paying enough attention to.
If these are useful to you — if you think they are important — the best thing you can do is share and spread the information to your own networks.
I’ll be here with you until they stop me. Thanks for watching.
About Brad Rourke
I have a long career working in nonpartisan ways to further democracy. Recently I have begun this personal project as part of my effort to work as hard as I can to preserve our national way of life. You can read more about that effort here.
This site is independent of my professional work and the views I express here are my own, not those of my employer.
Disclaimer
These Notes rely substantially on AI in their production. I could not do this work otherwise, since it is not my main professional pursuit. I have developed and refined my AI tools intensively over time to support the research and production. I continually adjust methods, verify the work, and apply my own editorial judgment to everything that is included and how it is presented. Though AI is involved, I stand behind all of the reporting and presentation.
