Hey everyone. I was the Director of Video Production for the Gravel Institute until it folded back in 2022.

Several Gravel Institute colleagues and I have been hard at work developing a new series of videos with Jacobin Magazine, and our first new video has released today, featuring OG Gravel presenter and brilliant historian Matt Karp.

Things are pretty terrible in America (and the world at large), but they don’t have to be.

the american dream was only true for a privileged few and it's death is the growing awareness that it was only a dream.

we are capable of making the american dream a reality; but our adherence to our oligarchical systems, from both the american left and right, guarantees that it will remain a dream.
