“Also representing the challengers is Jonathan Mitchell, who argued on Trump’s behalf in the Colorado ballot access case before the Supreme Court last term.”

This doesn’t bode well. It’s Hobby Lobby part 2.

“Representing the company is Gene Hamilton, an alum of the first Trump administration Justice Department, who now, alongside Trump adviser Stephen Miller, leads the legal advocacy organization America First Legal.”

That said, I also worked for a PBS station and staff often said that Newt Gingrich was the best fundraiser they ever had. Every time they tried to kill Big Bird, viewers responded.

Times, people, and the media landscape have changed significantly, though, and I hope they survive.

I worked for an NPR station in Wyoming. We had a statewide network and oftentimes were the only radio signal. This could hit stations in rural areas harder than the others, since they often get rural access grants and simply don’t have the same donor base as more populated areas to stay afloat.

Very broadly, Geography. Conjunto = Texas. Norteño = Mexico. Tempo is a little faster in Norteño, harmonies are a little different, sometimes Norteño has a sax in addition to the 4-pc they have in common. Norteño also much more commercially successful and has a lot more radio support. Thx 4 asking!

My nonprofit had 3 accounts - one for the org, one for our record label, and one for our music festival - and we deactivated them all.

The audience for our mission (Texas Conjunto accordion music) is very niche and just isn’t here. They weren’t on Twitter and prefer FB.

But we’ll def try here. 😎

Welp, now I’m following you. You are the Mr. Rogers of all Sewer Districts, regardless of region.

Agreed. I feel like the block button should be as prominent as the follow button.
