Allow me to shamelessly plug my own nonprofit. We got our 501(c)(3) status this year, and now we’re starting the work of raising money to support the projects we hope to undertake and people we want to hire.
It’s been a joy launching this organization and now it’s time to build the resources so that we can really get to work. You might think small dollar donations don’t matter, but they can be a key source. Thanks in advance and much love to you all.
I’m going to be appearing as a panelist on an episode of Dr. Phil airing this coming Tuesday. The episode is about the politics of procreation, and here’s a link to the piece I wrote that landed me on the show:

Doing friendsgiving this weekend, but thankful for Taj Mahal Little Rock for a yummy Turkey Day meal.
This is my fifth time coordinating the Model International Court of Justice for the Arkansas Model UN and the first back in-person since 2019. We get to work with some great UCA students as staff and observe some impressive high school students from across the state as delegates. A joy to be back among these intellectually curious and passionate young people.
Are you a Dem or Never Trumper feeling celebratory after the red wave became a red ripple? Are you a pundit forecasting the end of Trump? My new Arc Digital piece offers a bit of a different take. Some reflections here: https://www.arcdigital.media/p/capitoline-crises

A note, from me to anyone interested in what we're doing at The Pulaski Institution, about what the heartland means to us.
