What an honor to see Bernie Sanders, sharp and passionate and correct as ever in his message to “Fight Oligarchy.” Rev. William Barber (of Raleigh’s Moral Mondays) was even more inspirational. A wide multi-generational spectrum of fun folks in attendance, too.

Sylvan Esso kicked things off.

Federal funding for CPB was $1.1 billion. That's just 0.0073% of the national budget and amounts to ~$1.60 per American annually. Think that's why it was cut to $0? (Comparatively, ICE's annual budget is set to increase from roughly $8 billion to about $28 billion.)

They're trying to silence us.

If you met someone who talked about a singer/songwriter like this, how would you react? Personally, I’d want to warn the authorities about his behavior, and hope he gets therapy.

Happy to report there are no longer any mandatory evacuations for Saluda. This week has been a stressful mark of the 6-month anniversary of Helene. Expect more of these episodes to occur, too. Hopefully we can have more controlled burns? But for now, time to unpack a few things and unwind a bit!

It’s (past) time we start divesting from most major corporations as much as possible, as they are not just complicit in this autocratic takeover, they’re literally profiting off of it. Amazon is just one of them:
