Today I want to spread the word about SERRV, which is a fair-trade not-for-profit selling handcrafted items from artisans in some of the world's poorest communities. I adore what they do and sell, and I'm angry that the policies of our government are making that good work so difficult to sustain. 1/

sorry i'm stinking mad. someone with a title should write a letter to the editor
even framing him as being "brought down" is so insulting. he brought himself down through violence what are we talking about here
In some ways, this miserable tale is as old as time. In others, it looks like a parable of our modern media environment, with its cacophony of voices, old and new, all clamoring for attention.

And do check out Marybeth Hamilton's In Search of The Blues. In it she portrays the Delta not as some vague spooky myth world but as a site of labour and industry where working blues musicians moved from town to town in search of paying gigs and played from a wide stylistic repertoire of material.
(michelle and i were friends in college, she's wonderful and would have been an incredible advocate for the RGV in the house)
Of his district’s previous Democratic candidate, the Bernie Sanders-endorsed Michelle Vallejo, Pulido said, “She got the Democratic nomination, but she ran on a progressive platform, in a conservative-drawn district. Square peg in a round hole, maybe?”
