Deep in the South living by the mantra that kindness matters.
I have been absent on most platforms; I needed a break. I have also been down with the flu, so I will continue resting until I can get strong enough to handle the chaos that has swirled. Stay healthy out there.

New from me: Trump is a lame duck, an old, tired, easily manipulated one, whose vanity is a useful tool. Foreign leaders like Claudia Sheinbaum are right to mock him, and American elites should uncurl from the fetal position and get in on the fun.

Donald Trump is a lame duck (not a bear)—an unusually weak one, in some ways—and he knows it.

I’ll be a broken clock in this, but it’s painfully obvious corporate and legacy media isn’t up to the task of holding Trump accountable. The incentives just don’t line up well enough for them to sustain the type of coverage Trump actually deserves.
"The press would have been doing its job by exposing Trump’s pandering instead of nitpicking Harris to death. But even his most ridiculous campaign proposals — such as taxpayers picking up the tab for costly IVF treatments — received exactly the sort of credulous coverage he was hoping for."

NEW: School vouchers were passed in Mississippi in the 1960s with the support of the White Citizens’ Council and a goal of continuing segregation. Money still goes to segregation academies today. Shocking story.
Segregation Academies in Mississippi Are Benefiting From Public Dollars, as They Did in the 1960s
ProPublica identified 20 schools in the state that likely opened as segregation academies and have received almost $10 million over the past six years from the state’s tax credit donation program.
