To me, the photograph was as impactful as the well-known image of Phan Thị Kim Phúc fleeing a napalm attack (Nick Ut, 1972). I’ve learned that the RFK photo was not widely republished and does not appear in most digital archives.

Kennedy appeared to be listening intently to the child’s mother. I believe that Jim Lucas was the photographer.

I began searching for this image while reflecting on the interruption of SNAP funding.

The photo showed Senator Robert F. Kennedy in a small cabin in the Mississippi Delta, sitting quietly near a young Black child lying on a bed. The child’s stomach was swollen from severe malnutrition (kwashiorkor).

Their plan is to starve people to the point that they'll sign contracts of indenture. Everyone who is against MAGA must set aside their differences and support Democrats up and down the ballot.

Babe Schwartz invited me to lunch at the Austin Club. Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson stopped by to greet Babe and remarked that in the 1920s the KKK was just a social club people joined because everyone else did. Out of respect for Babe and whatever he might need from Patterson, I stayed silent.

Check out the Smithsonian new memory hole exhibit, but don’t step too close.

Who would have thought that a guy convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records would do such a thing!

That’s a wicked pissah of a view, as they say in Boston.

I was driving into our driveway, stopped, zoomed in as close as I could, then rolled slowly forward.

The Kerr County Commissioners did an engineering study for a warning system (automatic gauges & sirens) in 2016 but never moved forward. County Judge Rob Kelly, in office since 2019, said the voters don't want to pay for such a system. Comal County, downstream, got theirs in 2015. No local will.
