@CherryBoysHoops Crazy Buzzer Beater at the Lake Superior Classic! Down 14 in the second half, Cherry clawed their way back for senior guard Ian Kimmes to bury a game tying 3 in regulation that eventually lead to a 81-78 win over the Blake Bears. #Tiger4Life

When my older brother went to college in the year 2000, the average tuition for a public 4-year university was about $3,500 a year.

Today? It’s over $10,000.

When I went to community college in 2006, my in-state tuition, books, and fees ran about $7,500 total. That means in just five years, the cost of community college had already doubled compared to a four-year university just half a decade earlier.

Rent? Back then, you could find a place for about $650 a month. Today, the average is more than $1,600.

But still, we hear the same tired lines from the older generations:
“Just work harder.”
“Stop buying avocado toast.”
“Back in my day…”

Listen, I’m not saying it was easy back then. I know folks worked hard. But the truth is, the world you came up in doesn't exist anymore.

Wages haven’t kept pace.
Housing has outpaced inflation.
Education costs have exploded.
Healthcare is a financial death trap.
And the stable careers that built middle-class lives, manufacturing, skilled trades, and local business, have been gutted, outsourced, or turned into gig work with no security.

You didn’t need a master's degree to work a union job with a pension. You didn’t need six figures in debt to chase a future. You didn’t have to drive Uber on weekends just to afford rent on a one-bedroom apartment.

We’re not lazy. We’re not entitled. We’re surviving in a system that shifted the goalposts and then told us we just aren’t kicking hard enough.

It’s not about blame, it’s about honesty.
It’s about seeing the world as it is today and being willing to talk about how we adapt.
Together. Across generations. With some damn empathy.

Because if you really want to help the next generation…
Don’t shame them.
Listen to them.
Stand with them.

The world changed. And pretending it didn’t isn’t helping anybody.

🛑 “I only carry when the situation warrants it…” 🛑
That’s a comforting thought—until you realize violence doesn’t send a warning.
No one plans to be attacked while getting groceries.
Or jogging before sunrise.
Or pumping gas.
Or sitting on the couch at home.

But it happens.
It has happened.
And the question isn’t if—it’s whether you’ll be ready when.
👉 I wrote this piece to answer a simple but critical question: “Should I carry?”
It’s not about fear.
It’s about responsibility.
And the real stories inside this post prove why the answer is always: yes.

We say we outgrow things. Relationships. Towns. Roles. But maybe we don’t outgrow them at all. Maybe we just finally see through them. We see ourselves not as the creation anymore, but as the creator. The source. The breath behind the words. The soul behind the skin.

I am not separate from the tree outside my window. Or the storm rolling in. Or the silence between heartbeats. I am the reflection and the light, the echo and the voice.

And so are you.

The Terror Attack in Boulder is a reminder of why we carry. In Boulder, one of the most anti-gun states in America, a terrorist set people on fire near Pearl Street Mall. Armed with Molotov cocktails and driven by hate, this attacker injured six before being taken into custody.

The absurd attacks on Casey Means reveal just how far off course our healthcare conversations have veered, and how badly entrenched interests--including Big Food and its industry-funded social media gurus--are terrified of change.

Casey has excelled in every endeavor she has undertaken. She was President of her Stanford undergrad class, was a standout at Stanford Medical School, and was a top performer in surgical residency. She had the courage to leave traditional medicine because she realized her patients weren’t getting better.

The attacks that Casey is unqualified because she left the medical system completely miss the point of what we are trying to accomplish with MAHA. Casey is the perfect choice for Surgeon General precisely because she left the traditional medical system--not in spite of it. Her leadership has inspired many doctors to reform the system and forge a new path away from sick care, which fills corporate coffers, and toward health care, which enriches all of us.

After leaving traditional medicine, Casey started a company and wrote a New York Times best-selling book that empowered patients and helped launch the MAHA movement. This ability of Casey’s to inspire Americans to rethink our healthcare system is also an existential threat to the status quo interests, which profit from sickness.

The goal of MAHA is to reform the largest and most powerful industry in the United States. I have little doubt that these companies and their conflicted media outlets will continue to pay bloggers and other social media influencers to weaponize innuendo to slander and vilify Casey, the same way they try to defame me and President Trump.

But it will not work. Every day, I wake up emboldened to drive change because I know the support of MAHA moms has my back. Casey has played an integral role in galvanizing these moms.

Casey articulates better than any American the North Star of a country where we have eliminated diabetes, heart disease, and obesity through prioritizing metabolic health. Casey will help me ensure American children will be less medicated and better fed--and significantly healthier--during the next four years. She will be the best Surgeon General in American history.

@EntomologyKing @DouglasAda80673 @LibertyCappy Yes, school shootings are horrific. But trading away the ability of millions to defend themselves on the hope that it might reduce a few hundred tragic incidents is not logical, and it’s certainly not just.

[Mitch Goerdt @MitchGoerdt]

@EntomologyKing @DouglasAda80673 @LibertyCappy Banning guns outside of tightly controlled ranges wouldn’t just "cut down" on school shootings—it would disarm those who need protection the most. And history has shown that criminals don’t follow bans. Gun-free zones don’t stop violence; they often invite it.
