I’m ready for malicious compliance here. You want religious schools funded by the feds? Let’s see Hindu, Muslim, etc pop up everywhere. Choice? BLM Charter, Queer Studies Charter, etc.

Today’s intention: Be steady.

This day commemorates a day that was anything but steady a few short years ago, and so my goal for today is to breathe, hold what I can, and balance the rest.

Jimmy Carter and the end of democratic capitalism The myth and reality of our 39th president

As one of former President Jimmy Carter's appointees, I shared some thoughts on his presidency awhile back. The rap on Carter has been that his presidency failed yet his post-presidency was the best in modern history. This is too simplistic. robertreich.substack.com/p/jimmy-cart...

Travel humbles you. I don’t know what else to feel other than awe. #thailand
