A sad note for those who follow the work of Michael Brooks on YouTube. Michael passed away suddenly on Monday, July 20. He was a progressive commentator who had his own YouTube channel. He had appeared for a number of years on another, popular channel, The Majority Report. Michael’s was a voice that I had only recently come to listen to, but I found his commentary insightful and helpful for my own understanding of the progressive left. He’d just published a book,
Against the Web: A Cosmopolitan Answer to the New Right, and his
archive of interviews and discussions will, I am sure, remain relevant for many
years to come.
He
was articulate, dedicated, and passionate about working towards a better world.
He was also a warm, funny and compassionate person. His was a bright light in
American political journalism and one that will be missed. He was only 36 years
old.
Jake.
