I can take the blame for that, partly. But to be honest, I've watched the live streams, and forgotten to post the archived ones.

I missed Hightower. I'm totally excited to hear he was there.

Grateful to all of you working to cover the events of the last ten days.

I have heard Jim Hightower twice recently and appreciated him both times. A long time ago I used to get his newsletter, but he was kind of far out there for me at that time. I think I have caught up with him, smile. Will see if he still has a newsletter.

at one of his gatherings

in Texas

That was the first day in more than twenty years I felt that there might be a chance for change.

Talking about how they want to take "their" country back from someone (other than the 1%).
