Off of politics for a much-needed respite. Instead, today, in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the I Have A Dream Speech and the 1963 March on Washington, a tale of Southern grace. The South is a land of contrasts with a rich history that embraces both the humane and the inhumane, racism and slavery, inclusion and diversity. Here’s a short piece that honors a fallen hero, Progressive Voice’s own Wyc Orr. I hope you’ll listen.

Are You Sinking Out of Control? First step, talk about it Karel Cast #246 Mental health in the USA is suffering and one real reason is we feel completely out of control of our lives right now. We feel the future is uncertain and we can't do much about it. So how do we manage. Well, the first thing is to talk about it openly and honestly. To get it out there, what is bothering you the most. Then, how do we become Kate Winslet in Titanic and save ourselves, even if it means letting go of something we love, like Leo? I've got some ideas on this kitchen table edition of the Karel Cast.

Mark Riley The Intersection S8 Ep20 Trump's Trial Date. Biden Late To Maui. B.R.I.C.S. by Progressive Voices

There’s little doubt we face critical challenges at this time, and serious doubt whether we have the vision, the culture, the systems, or the will to successfully deal with them. I’ve been asking lately, "How did we get here?" and focusing a lot on the generations, in particular the Boomers and the 1960’s. I speak with PHILIP BUMP, a national columnist for The Washington Post, about his first book, THE AFTERMATH, an assessment of how the baby boom created modern America, and where power, wealth, and politics will shift as the boom ends.
