The weekend brought unrest, dialogue, and social media storms, and Theo Von describes navigating them. He recalls the Drew Brees controversy, the backlash on Twitter, and how he pulled his repost after realizing it wasn’t a simple agreement, noting that online conversation often stalls into division.
