"While women are being forced out of the workforce, children are going hungry, and people are being rounded up by ICE in warrantless raids, white male pain continues to be a Page 1 story. Farmers and ranchers make up less than 2 percent of the total population in America, but they dominate our cultural and political mythology."

"He responded that he didn’t regret his vote, because his vote was about more than his farm or tariffs; it was about God, guns, and abortion. In sum, he’d take the hit because there were bigger issues at stake.

That conversation is part of my first book, God Land, published in 2019. But I think about it often, because it highlights so many of the problems with political reporting. It’s not about the policies; it’s about the priorities."

"This week, the New York Times ran an image of a farmer on the front page. ...

The story is about how Trump’s tariff policies are affecting the very farmers in Iowa who voted for him. ...

In 2017, I asked a farmer how he felt about voting for Trump, even though Republican policies were hurting his business."

🎵 It’s another sycamore sunrise…🎵

The rising sun, orange in color, is peeking through the leaves on the lower branches of a stout sycamore tree. The lowest branches of the tree reach gracefully downward and almost touch the grass below. Some leaves are dark in shadow while others are illuminating by the morning light.

Today’s weather: Overcast with light rain and a chance of possums.

I was able to walk up close to the possum. The critter is eyeing me with its freaky blue eyes. Under light rain, the fur looks a little bedraggled, but overall this seems to be a healthy little possum.

A medium-small possum in the green lawn beside a row of lilac bushes. (The lilac leaves look brown and are drying up due to a foliar disease, possibly powdery mildew.)

A Red-Spotted Purple butterfly (Limenitis arthemis astyanax) on the purple coneflowers. The red spots at top corner of the wings are barely visible. But the shimmery blue color stands out.

A large butterfly on the reddish-orange center of a purple coneflower. The butterfly's wings are almost black at the top, then fade to blue toward the bottom. The edges of the wings have a row a blue dots outlined in black.
