thank you, Mike. we voted on 1st day of early voting here in Asheville. was a great scene, crowded and joyous, they had cases of water and a food truck and people were thrilled to be together after the first few weeks post-Helene. but I'm preparing to hunker down at home for last days of voting and some weeks after. we best be prepared for the next few months. I hope people understand where we are now. not only is Trump teeing up violence, the Bezos capitulation is, as JVL points out, not a journalism story, its the story of obeying in advance, and if one of the richest men in the world thinks he'd best kiss the hem to avoid retribution (the announcement of no endorsement came the same day Bezos' space company and Bezos himself met with Trump).

we thought we were on the precipice of falling. looks like we're partway down the hill.

not giving up, of course. but def scared. that's never stopped me before.
