It's been a while since we've looked at the platform for the Concerned Letter Carriers. In this episode, I will read the platform as published on the CLC website, and comment on it. There have been some updates, and some other planks are out of date. I'll go over the things I agree with, and some parts of the platform that I think are lacking.

Episode 275 - The Whisper Between SoulsSomewhere along the winding road of human evolution, we went from survival mode—clubbing each other over the head—to the wild, delicate act of pressing our faces together in the dark and calling it magic. In this episode, Michelle and Scott explore the strange, sacred, and sometimes hilarious art of the kiss. From first kisses that feel like emotional Russian roulette to the complex language of kisses as apology, contract, or silent rebellion—this is a deep dive into why we kiss, what we mean when we do, and what kissing reveals about our most primal human need: connection. A kiss can be love. It can be lust. It can be power, boredom, or simply the only thing left to say when words fall apart. Join them for a heartfelt, tongue-in-cheek reflection on one of the most universal (and utterly awkward) expressions of closeness. Because sometimes, the things we can't say out loud come out in the whisper between souls.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

What if the secret to raising spiritually mature kids isn't found in the latest parenting book, but in letting Scripture do the heavy lifting? Robert interviews Josh Niemi, founder of Expository Parenting Ministries, about his unique approach to Christian parenting that mirrors expository preaching—teaching children the Bible verse by verse in systematic discipleship. Josh shares how to start with storybook Bibles for younger children before transitioning to verse-by-verse study, the importance of partnering with expositional churches, and how this method builds solid theological foundations without common evangelical misconceptions. He offers practical insights from teaching his own three children through the entire Old Testament and discusses children's surprising capacity for understanding deep theology. The conversation also covers his book "Greater Than Aaron," exploring how Christ fulfills the Old Testament priesthood.   Resources: https://www.expositoryparenting.org/   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by the Classical Learning Cohort The Classical Learning Cohort offers online classes for parents to become more confident and competent Classical teachers.

Episode 274 - Just Let Them – Letting Go of Control & Embracing Peace"What if the key to less stress, more freedom, and stronger relationships was simply . . . letting people be who they are? In this episode, Michelle and Scott dive into Cassie Phillips' viral concept from her poem "Just Let Them"—a radical yet simple mindset shift that invites you to stop micromanaging other people's choices and start reclaiming your own peace. Whether it's friends who flake, coworkers who don't get it, or family members who push your buttons, this approach isn't about giving up—it's about letting go of what was never yours to carry in the first place. They explore how "Just Let Them" can become a boundary-setting mantra, a tool for emotional freedom, and a reset button for burnout. You'll walk away with practical steps for applying this philosophy in your daily life (without becoming passive or checked out). Let them. And then . . . let yourself breathe.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

Episode 273 - "If It's Not Yours, Don't Touch It: The Rules of Theatre Applied to Life"In theatre, there's an unspoken but sacred rule: If it's not yours, don't touch it. It's about respect, boundaries, trust—and knowing your role. In this episode, Michelle and Scott take backstage wisdom and shine it center stage on everyday life. What if applying the rules of performance etiquette could help you set clearer boundaries, reduce emotional clutter, and stop carrying what was never yours to begin with? Join them as they explore how the principles of the theatre—like staying in your light, hitting your mark, and respecting someone else's props—can become powerful metaphors for living with more integrity, presence, and peace.

Episode 268 - "The Art of Nurturing: Cultivating Growth in Yourself and Others"Nurturing isn't just a soft skill—it's a quiet superpower. In this heart-centered episode, Michelle and Scott explore what it really means to nurture—not only the people around you, but your own growth, healing, and potential. They'll unpack how intentional care, patience, and emotional presence help create space for transformation. Whether you're tending to your own well-being, supporting a loved one, parenting, leading, or simply holding space for someone else's journey, nurturing is the act of saying, “I see you. I'm with you. Let's grow.” You'll learn how to recognize where nurturing is needed most, how to offer it without overextending yourself, and how to build rituals of nourishment into your daily life.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

What does intentional care really look like in the NICU—and how does it shape outcomes for both infants and families?In this episode, we explore the importance of safe feeding practices, trauma-informed communication, and consistent caregiver support with Casey Lewis, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-S, CNT, CLC, NTMTC, and Lisa Klein, MS, CCC-SLP, Director of Education at Dr. Brown's Medical.Together, we unpack the clinical and cultural challenges NICUs face—from inconsistent feeding plans and overlooked breastfeeding support to the emotional toll of desensitization at the bedside. Casey shares how her dual perspective as a neonatal therapist and NICU parent reshaped her approach to advocacy, while Lisa offers insight into how tools like the Infant-Driven Feeding® Program and the Dr. Brown's Zero-Resistance™ Bottle System are driving safer, more consistent outcomes. Whether you're a NICU provider, a nurse, hospital leader, or a parent, this episode offers powerful takeaways to help you reimagine what intentional, family-centered care can truly look like.Dr. Brown's Medical: https://www.drbrownsmedical.com Our NICU Roadmap: A Comprehensive NICU Journal: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicujournal/ NICU Mama Hats: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/hats/ NICU Milestone Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicuproducts/ Newborn Holiday Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shop/ Empowering NICU Parents Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shownotes/ Episode 69 Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/episode69 Empowering NICU Parents Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empoweringnicuparents/ Empowering NICU Parents FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringnicuparents Pinterest Page: https://pin.it/36MJjmH

Comment réagit-on à Kinshasa à l'élection d'un pape venu des Amériques ? Est-on déçu que le nouveau pape ne soit pas africain ? L'historien congolais Isidore Ndaywel est une grande figure de l'Église catholique en RDC. Il est le coordonnateur du puissant Comité laïc de coordination (CLC). Il est aussi très proche de Mgr Ambongo, le cardinal-archevêque de Kinshasa. Il répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI: Le nouveau pape a été élu en 24 heures, est-ce que vous avez été surpris ? Isidore Ndaywel : Oui, j'ai été surpris parce qu'on nous avait annoncé qu'il y aurait des discussions, qu'il y avait plusieurs tendances et on se serait attendu à ce que ça prenne un peu plus de temps. Mais là, nous sommes dans une surprise et une bonne surprise qui démontre qu'il y a une très grande maturité au niveau de l'église et de la gestion et au plus haut niveau, s'agissant de l'élection du pape. Quelle est votre première réaction après les premiers mots de Léon XIV ? Eh bien, j'avoue que c'est une grande joie, une joie de fin de deuil. En fait, le deuil de François et l'accueil d'un nouveau pape. C'est bien qu'on soit quelque peu déroutés par ce changement dans tout ce qui s'annonçait. On ne nous avait pas parlé de lui. Un pape qui se place dans l'héritage de son prédécesseur François ?Il se place dans les premiers mots, tout à fait, dans cet héritage. Et c'est ce qui nous rassure et nous conforte. Parce que, en Afrique et spécialement à Kinshasa, nous avons beaucoup aimé François qui nous a fait une très grande visite en janvier 2023 et qui nous a laissé des mots très forts et qui correspondent tout à fait à notre situation actuelle. Et nous sommes heureux de constater que nous sommes vraiment dans cette continuité. Alors, visiblement, ce nouveau pape est aussi un théologien ?Dans ses premières paroles, ce qui m'a frappé, c'est surtout la première parole. C'est l'insistance sur la paix. Sur la paix, spécialement en cette période où, dans le monde entier, nous courons derrière la paix. Et donc ce mot qui tombe bien, le 8-Mai, est quelque chose qui me paraît très fort. Et dans cette première exhortation, Léon XIV a appelé à construire des ponts à travers le dialogue. Tout à fait. Et cette paix n'est possible que dans la construction des ponts. J'avais l'impression d'écouter François. Et donc, vous pensez que le nouveau pape sera attaché au dialogue inter-religieux ? Tout à fait. Au dialogue inter-religieux, mais aussi au dialogue tout court, parce que tout ne se déroule pas dans le contexte religieux, dans la problématique de cette époque que nous traversons. Alors ce pape vient d'Amérique, est-ce que vous n'êtes pas déçu qu'il ne vienne pas d'Afrique ? Pas spécialement parce que pour nous, en Afrique, lorsqu'on parle du pape, il n'est pas vraiment question de nationalité. Nous sommes d'ailleurs étonnés de voir qu'ailleurs, on en parle beaucoup. Pour nous, le Saint-Père est un père. Et un père, on l'accepte, on l'accueille, qu'il soit barbu ou pas. Mais c'est un père. Et donc là, il nous est donné de passer d'une espérance à une autre avec ce nouveau pape qui provient de l'Amérique. Et d'ailleurs, ce n'est pas tout à fait des États-Unis parce qu'on nous dit qu'il est aussi originaire du Pérou et donc on se retrouve là aussi à nouveau en Amérique latine. Donc, peu importent ses origines, nous avons accueilli avec beaucoup de joie Jean-Paul II, sans trop nous poser des questions sur le fait qu'il soit Polonais ou pas. François de même, qu'il soit Argentin ou pas. Il en est de même pour ce nouveau pape Léon XIV qui nous vient des Amériques. C'est une bonne chose. Mais vu la vitalité des catholiques en Afrique, est-ce qu'il n'était pas temps que l'Église se donne un pape africain ? Mais nous avons du temps. Il y aura, comme déjà dans le passé, des nouveaux papes africains. Nous sommes sûrs que cela se fera dans l'avenir. Mais nous ne sommes pas spécialement pressés. Ça ne devait pas être nécessairement maintenant, ça aurait pu l'être, mais que cela ne l'ait pas été, ce n'est pas grave. C'est très bien aussi parce que nous savons que le pape qui nous est donné est un pape qui fera certainement bien ce qui doit l'être. Mais vous qui êtes très proche de monseigneur Fridolin Ambongo, est-ce que vous n'avez pas espéré que ce serait lui ?Mais c'était normal que je puisse espérer cela, sans non plus me faire trop d'illusions, en me disant que ça peut être lui comme ça peut ne pas être lui. S'il l'avait été, ç'aurait été très bien. Mais s'il ne l'a pas été, c'est très bien aussi. Donc, nous, en Afrique, nous n'en faisons pas un problème. Nous accueillons le Père qui nous a été donné et qui est donc maintenant Léon XIV.À lire aussiÉlection du pape Léon XIV: comment se profile son pontificat?

In this episode of "The CCA Corner," Mallory and Badmouth are joined by James Henry to discuss current issues and provide education for CCAs. The discussion begins with an update on recent events within the NALC, including the contentious tentative agreement (TA), and James Henry's perspective on leadership's handling of the membership's wishes. The focus then shifts to the rights of CCAs during disciplinary investigations (PDIs or IIs), emphasizing the crucial role of union representation. James Henry stresses the importance of CCAs understanding their rights, particularly their right to union representation throughout the entire process, and that management's questions can be seen as attempts to manipulate or trap carriers into incriminating statements. He emphasizes the importance of honesty and direct answers during such procedures. The episode covers the differences in disciplinary rights between CCAs and regular carriers. James Henry details the CLC's efforts to advocate for CCAs and the importance of member solidarity, highlighting recent additions to the team. The discussion touches on the political climate's influence on the Postal Service and the importance of collective action. A significant portion of the episode focuses on the vital role of union representation in defending CCAs, whether they're perceived as innocent or guilty. James Henry emphasizes the importance of upholding due process rights and citing the contract, and how management's attempts to pressure carriers into admitting guilt can be legally challenged. The episode concludes with a discussion of upcoming events and initiatives within the CLC, urging CCAs to be proactive in advocating for their rights. http://www.fromatoarbitration.com/

This episode features a passionate and critical discussion of the state of the NALC, with a primary focus on a recent executive council meeting. Corey begins by emphasizing that he is now speaking as the CLC's Director of Education, a deliberate shift to focus exclusively on educational topics, and then dives into the core subject of the episode which is a candid discussion about what he perceives as a constitutional crisis within the union. He criticizes Renfroe for his arrogance, which is damaging and divisive. He highlights an audio recording from a business agent, discussing why they dismissed charges against Renfroe and Barner. Corey then reads the text of the actual charges filed against President Renfroe and Executive Vice President Barner, which included allegations of failing to report official acts, neglecting convention resolutions, failing to initiate arbitration timely, bypassing required membership ratification, and failing to provide a complete report of acts. Corey argues that this was a violation of the constitution, and he has strong criticism for the Executive Council, accusing them of putting themselves before the best interests of the members. Corey ends by reiterating his call for the city letter carriers and the union to make changes and support those advocating for reforms. http://www.fromatoarbitration.com/

Donald Trump took office as president on January 20, 2025, having already served one term. Immediately, however, he made clear his second term would be even more unpredictable than his first. He put one of the world's richest men — and his biggest campaign donor — in charge of a shadowy new entity with seemingly unfettered access to government data. Trump also blitzed the system with a barrage of executive orders, which have seemingly upended the government. He has done everything from threatening judges and lawyers to attacking the very concept of birthright citizenship, while Congress has remained largely on the sidelines.In short, Trump has moved aggressively against many of the checks and balances that American democracy has built in. As he works to consolidate power for the executive branch, other players have stepped up to challenge the president's moves — Campaign Legal Center among them. In this special episode of Democracy Decoded, our host Simone Leeper speaks with Trevor Potter, the president and founder of Campaign Legal Center, and Adav Noti, the executive director of Campaign Legal Center, to discuss what they've seen and what they're doing during this unprecedented moment.Host and Guests:Simone Leeper litigates a wide range of redistricting-related cases at Campaign Legal Center, challenging gerrymanders and advocating for election systems that guarantee all voters an equal opportunity to influence our democracy. Prior to arriving at CLC, Simone was a law clerk in the office of Senator Ed Markey and at the Library of Congress, Office of General Counsel. She received her J.D. cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in 2019 and a bachelor's degree in political science from Columbia University in 2016.Trevor Potter is President at Campaign Legal Center. A Republican former Chairman of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Trevor was general counsel to John McCain's 2000 and 2008 presidential campaigns and an adviser to the drafters of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law. To many, he is perhaps best known for his recurring appearances on The Colbert Report as the lawyer for Stephen Colbert's super PAC, Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow, during the 2012 election, a program that won a Peabody Award for excellence in reporting on money in politics. The American Bar Association Journal has described Trevor as “hands-down one of the top lawyers in the country on the delicate intersection of politics, law and money.” He has provided testimony and written statements to Congress on federal election proposals, campaign finance regulation and, recently, the effects of the January 6th attack on our democracy. During the 2020 election season, Trevor was named to the cross-partisan National Task Force on Election Crises.Adav Noti is Executive Director at Campaign Legal Center. He has conducted dozens of constitutional cases in trial and appellate courts and the United States Supreme Court. He also advises Members of Congress and other policymakers on advancing democracy through legislation. Prior to joining CLC, Adav served for more than 10 years in nonpartisan leadership capacities within the Office of General Counsel of the Federal Election Commission, and he served as a Special Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. Adav regularly provides expert analysis for television, radio, and print journalism. He has appeared on broadcasts such as The Rachel Maddow Show, Anderson Cooper 360, PBS NewsHour, and National Public Radio's Morning Edition, and he is regularly cited in publications nationwide, including the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Politico, Slate, and Reuters.Links:The Trump Administration's (Second) 100 Days: What You Need to Know – Campaign Legal CenterIt's almost Inauguration Day.
