Open discussion question: What would the pros and cons be of using repeal of the Permanent Apportionment Act as a mitigation strategy for gerrymandering?

I developed these nine principles of Communication-Based Leadership while serving in the field as a Marine Corps Public Affairs Officer, because hyper-connectivity at the speed of Send was just emerging & it was obvious to me the doctrinal “principles of information” at the time were insufficient.

Hell, the President swears a similar Oath. Here’s what I had to say about that on Constitution Day. (Would share a cell with Sen. Kelly in a heartbeat.)

Despite having come up in stage theater and being entirely comfortable performing as either a cast member or keynote, recording myself feels unnatural. So I’m following the advice I give to others & pushing beyond the perfection trap to just get on with it. Let’s link arms & lead together…

Whether you are leading a business or planning the resistance, you need to run good meetings. Here’s how: Have a purpose, start on time, achieve the purpose, end on time. (Or early. Early is fine. Advisable even.) For a bit more insight, hit Play. (Thanks for the reminder, @to8lerone.bsky.social.)

I anticipate we’re willing to put our lives on the line — & the same side that line — for similar reasons… Lili is our granddaughter.

Over the course of years in leadership positions and as a scholar of leadership, here are four timeless truths to help guide you — whatever your personal leadership philosophy & style may be. Hit me with questions or critique as you prefer. I’m open to a good conversation!

Rhodes: Who looks like a more stable and predictable actor? The Chinese Communist Party, where maybe you think they’re bullies, but the terms never change? Or the United States, where you have a president who’s been imposing tariffs, launching wars, shaking you down for essentially tribute payments?
