What We Are Consuming
From the August 7th Newsletter; Cardinal & Pine
“Imagine being in your kitchen, cooking breakfast for your siblings and getting them ready for school, only to have the FBI break down your door, looking for someone who doesn’t live there anymore. That was Allison Bustillo Chinchilla’s experience on February 20, a day that changed her and her family’s life forever. Bustillo Chinchilla, a nursing student in Charlotte, has spent the past five months since that raid in ICE detention at a private prison in Georgia.”
So writes Dylan Rhoney for Cardinal and Pine, “a left-leaning news outlet that puts people over politics. And we care about North Carolinians because we are North Carolinians.” In this changing media landscape, Cardinal and Pine meets you where you are: sign up for their newsletter, follow them on your preferred social media outlets, or bookmark their website. There is no paywall on any of their content! But after you see the wide variety of NC-based info, you just might choose to make a donation to support their great work.

From the July 31st Newsletter; NCGA Despicable veto override
Excellent, reassuring, grounding synopsis of the despicable veto override bonanza at the NCGA on Tuesday. Thank you, Michael Garrett - NC Senate, for the inspiring words. If you are not on Facebook, check him out on Instagram or on his website.
Our favorite part: "The resurrection of our democracy starts now. The question isn’t whether you’re with me – it’s whether you’re ready to be part of the generation that saved North Carolina’s soul."
