In August, I spent 2 weeks in #WesternNorthCarolina working on stories about the US Elections. My reporting is on Substack - short "chapters" about the people I met, their attitudes, their beliefs. Subscribe to "Worlds Apart, Living Right Next Door" here: open.substack.com/pub/lucycarrig…

Chapter Seven. The Green Card Holder, on Substack. This woman can't vote but she is not an outlier. Women I spoke with were far more worried about the economy than they were about a woman's right to choose. Early Voting starts today in North Carolina. open.substack.com/pub/lucycarrig…

There are many reasons why I would never vote for Donald Trump but this dark, deadly, dehumanizing migration policy is right there at the top of the list. It comes from a man with no heart, no soul, and, certainly no religion. nytimes.com/2023/11/11/us/… via @NYTimes

On Remembrance Day, I honor all who fought for our freedoms: for peace not war, for love not division. In this time of extraordinary turmoil and uncertainty I hope we can gather the courage of those who fought for these freedoms, and infuse them in the way we live our lives.

Two weeks later. 76 million Americans voted for Donald Trump. Some glimpses as to their reasons why reflected in the sentiments of the people who live in Madison County, a rural county in western North Carolina, alongside some reactions to his win. lucycarrigan.substack.com/p/worlds-apart…

A formidable journalist gone from the BBC. She will be missed. And I hope, replaced by someone who is as good as she is, a woman who takes no prisoners, won't let a politician away with not answering a question, knows her stuff, not into plámás (i.e.ingratiating, empty flattery).

Can we - is it possible - to take the politics out of immigration and take it up rationally, thoughtfully. If so, this piece a good starting point. Houston vs. Alabama. A telling difference. Better angels where you be in Trump’s second term? nytimes.com/2025/01/10/opi… @NYTOpinion
