“If you have more, it doesn’t mean I have less.” Mayor Catherine Read argues that America must move beyond the scarcity mentality that makes another person’s prosperity or security feel like a threat to our own. youtu.be/CEXJ-wdYHUA #AmongAmericans

Oh FFS. This is an example of the 'waste fraud and abuse', acting as poor stewards of the office and nation by wasting time, energy, and dollars on pettiness. How can one see this as anything value generating? What does this do for Americans? Improve lives or put down the pen.

Our own moment can feel uniquely frightening because it is the only one we have lived through. Mayor Catherine Read argues that realism and hope are not opposites. We must face the present clearly and still act to make the future better. youtu.be/CEXJ-wdYHUA #AmongAmericans

Some young Americans say, “I was born in 2000. I’ve never lived in a democracy.” Mayor Catherine Read doesn’t dismiss that despair. She says older generations bear responsibility, but young people still have the power to change this country. youtu.be/CEXJ-wdYHUA #AmongAmericans

What do you think Americans owe each other? I asked Beth, a nurse with decades of hospital and public-health experience. Her answer helped launch Among Americans. Reply with your answer and watch the full conversation here: youtu.be/tIgO9dN_nVI

Individuals should not possess the wealth of nations. Real or notional. This isn't a radical idea. It's self-preservation for individual and societal freedoms. Such wealth is self-serving and extinguishes anything that does not serve it. Innovation, meaningful dissent, choices.

Visted New York City for the first time April 2nd to watch @colbertlateshow.bsky.social live. It was great, but I didn't get a chance to meet the man himself. I said to my partner that I'd just have to get invited to the show for my ideas and work, then remembered that May is almost here. 😔

It's time for something different in #politics. Not #democrats or #republicans, but #stewardship.

What are these #protests about? #nokings and the defense of our country.

When people ask if the #nokings protesters are antifa America haters.

I’m thrilled to announce that I've been accepted to @newpoliticsacad.bsky.social s Answering the Call course! Now more than ever, our democracy needs leaders who put community and country over self. This fall, I explore how I can turn my values into action in 2025 and beyond.

It begins with the understanding that leadership is not a license to rule, but a duty to protect. It is not about dominance, wealth, or legacy. It is about care. Read the full article: thestewardscompass.substack.com/p/what-is-po...

People are still pouring into the mall. It is great to see. Now, what are we doing? We will talk about what we are against, what is wrong. We need to discuss fixes. We need to get the message to people who are not here. #handsoff
