Flourish As You Age: THRIVING IN TIMES OF STRUGGLE
What does it mean to flourish when the systems we depend on are under strain?
Flourish in Times of Struggle is a new podcast series for people who want to move beyond personal resilience and grapple with the deeper structures that shape our lives. In this opening episode, Michael C. Patterson introduces the series’ focus on systems, legitimacy, and collective action—and invites listeners to think together about how healthier, more democratic forms of governance might emerge.
Earlier Flourish As You Age podcasts focused more on personal change and development to promote brain health and mental management.

ELECTION - Is Trump Above the Law? - U.S. Court of Appeals Ruling - Part 3, Double Jeopardy Principle and Conclusion
Comments? Send me a text message.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the nation’s second highest court, has ruled unanimously that Trump is NOT immune from prosecution, nor is he above the law. They explained every aspect of their decision in a 67-page document.
To make it easier for everyone to have access to this important decision, and to understand how the U.S. Court of Appeals came to their decision, I've recorded three of the four main sections of the US Court of Appeals Ruling.
The IS TRUMP ABOVE THE LAW? series of podcasts offers a reading of the following sections of the U.S. Court of Appeals ruling:
Section I - Background
Section III - Executive Immunity
Section IV - Double Jeopardy Principle & Conclusion.
For the sake of time I did not record Section II which discusses why the U.S. Court of Appeals has jurisdiction to make a decision on this matter.
The Supreme Court apparently feels compelled to have the final say on Trump’s immunity claims and will hear oral arguments during the week of April 22 on a single question: "Whether and if so to what extent does a former president enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office."
It will be interesting to what basis the Supreme Court uses for their decision - the law or politics.
