If we pay attention to history, she reminds us that populations don't become monstrous overnight, that nations don't abandon humanity in a single moment. There is always a pattern. We're seeing it now. #SundayMorning johnpavlovitz.com/2019/08/30/thi…

Lightning strikes inside the Qualla Boundary of the Eastern Band of Cherokee around 7:30 last night

Ey bear, hey!

Unconscionable

Pisgah in the summer is special. I’ll come back and say the same thing in the fall. 😉

In 2017, we paid $9,800 to have two lifts installed. Today, the cost is $8,200 to have one lift installed. We are successfully growing our small business, but the squeeze is real.

Today is a good day to check your voter registration to make sure you weren’t purged without knowing. Don’t wait until the last second, we need every vote we can get.

Compounding interest on student loans is crushing working & middle class households. Thank you President Biden & every representative who pushed for more. #studentloanforgiveness

NC currently has $6.5 billion surplus but our public schools have over 11,000 staff vacancies due to unsustainable wages and insufficient funding. Republicans would rather tank public education than legislate bipartisanly. It’s ridiculous.

Great story about a rising star in #wnc politics. Wish we could take credit for his success, but the truth is that Mayor Blakely (that’s fun to write) entered WCU MPA Program program already brimful w/ intelligence, curiosity, empathy & charisma. Our only job was not to screw it up
