Looking forward to being a part of the Highland Park Literary Festival, where I’ll be sharing with students how to use AI without losing their voice or their judgment, both of which are now more important than ever. hplitfest.com/archives/

@gaetano_nyc Brings back memories. January 2011, it was 31 in Windermere, outside Orlando. Was like a whole other planet for me, being used to wearing shorts and tees every day.

In my latest Sunday column, I describe how administrative decisions made at the national level will leave residue that continues to shows up locally, as institutions learn to treat guidance as provisional rather than durable. lnkd.in/eRHiKuzS

Herky-jerky policymaking doesn’t create strength. It creates drift. I call this churn governance—announce, litigate, revise. That approach is unsustainable, taxing everyone downstream who needs durable rules to hire, contract, and execute. open.substack.com/pub/ronellsmit…

Most strategy failures don’t happen where people argue. They happen underneath. The unspoken motive is reputational risk, career exposure, and asymmetric downside. Until leaders map those unseen layers, stalling continues. narrativealchemy.io/p/the-unseen-t…

Filing day matters more than Election Day. 5 yrs ago, I wrote The Six Cs post, which explains why most local races are decided before a single vote is cast—by who feels permitted to run, who opts out, and who faces no opposition. open.substack.com/pub/ronellsmit…

If this year is going to count, it can’t be measured by habits or intentions—only by how we show up for the people and places that matter most. — from my Sunday column dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…

Local power rarely changes hands through elections alone. It shifts when attention disappears. My latest column examines how disengagement at the local level has quietly handed control of schools, cities, and boards to a narrow activist class. dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…

Economic anxiety rarely shows up first at food banks. The gov't shutdown exposed how fragile the margin is for thousands of North Texas families and how quickly a federal shutdown ripples into grocery budgets, rent payments, and local storefronts.dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…

A key lesson for anyone running for office is discovering how few candidates—including many successful ones—are truly competent, which fosters the fallacy of attributing outcomes to mere chance. open.substack.com/pub/ronellsmit…

My parents treated voting like a sacred ritual, an act of stewardship. They never missed an election—not because they loved politics, but because they believed participation was a duty. Today, that quiet habit feels endangered. dallasnews.com/opinion/commen…

The book also unflinchingly portrays the state as ground zero for unbridled racial violence and depravity. The story of Emmett Till, told in a powerful, sinewy fashion, is a stark and defining thread in the complex tapestry of Mississippi's history. 2/2
