Vindman\, who was born in Ukraine\, is the retired Army lieutenant colonel who testified against President Trump in the 2019 impeachment hearings. In his new book\, The Folly of Realism\, Vindman argues that the United States has taken an incorrect position towards Russia and Ukraine since the collapse of the Soviet Union\, a period spanning six American presidential administrations. In today’s episode\, he joins NPR’s Mary Louise Kelly for a conversation that touches on what Vindman calls the Trump administration’s “Russia First” policy\, the case for investing in Ukraine and Taiwan\, and when the conflict in Ukraine might end. \nListen to the entire interview here: https://youtu.be/fGiCbZcZ66w?si=igpWQwGuen7rBmA6 \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Community Event: National day of protest - Make Billionaires Pay!
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 20th\, is another national day of protest that is being nationally led by the Women’s March. Join like-minded neighbors in Salisbury from 12-2 pm to Make Billionaires Pay! \n\n\n\nFrom the event site – On September 20th\, we will #MakeBillionairesPay. Join us in National day of protest on East Innes St\, between Lee and Depot St. to demand a better future for our communities and for all living beings. \n\n\n\nEverywhere we turn\, the crises are piling up: record-breaking heat\, wildfire smoke\, skyrocketing rents\, abortion bans\, etc.—and a tiny circle of billionaires is profiting off the mess while the rest of us\, especially women\, scramble to keep families safe. \n\n\n\nOur demands:  Shut down billionaires. Fund our future.  Shut down fascists. Protect migrants and the global majority.  Shut down polluters. Defend Mother Earth. \n\n\n\nThe attacks on our people are directly tied to the attacks on our planet. They’re dismantling our democracy\, attacking immigrants\, and feeding the war profiteers. \n\n\n\nIn response\, we have been working to assemble a feminist force that knits together climate defense with struggles for bodily autonomy\, racial justice\, and migrant safety—treating every pipeline fight\, clinic defense\, and voter-rights push as part of the same front. \n\n

SUMMARY:BLUE WAVE BOOKWORMS BOOK CLUB - July 29th\, 1:30 pm - Discussion continues
DESCRIPTION:Blue Wave Bookworms announce the new book for the June and July discussion will be Timothy Snyder’s “On Freedom.” The second discussion meeting is on Tuesday\, July 29th\, from 1:30 – 3:00 pm at Rowan County Democratic Headquarters\, 1504 West Innes Street\, Salisbury\, NC 28144. \nAll are welcome and if you have not read the book you are still invited to attend and listen. The plan is to try and cover pages 1-161 at the June meeting and then to wrap up pages 162-276 and conclude the book at the July 29th meeting. Book club meets the last Tuesday of each month at 1:30 pm. \nKirkus Reviews calls the book: An incisive\, urgently relevant analysis of—and call to action on—America’s foundational ideal.” \n“The author argues that it’s absurd to think of government as the enemy of freedom; instead\, we ought to reimagine how a strong government might focus on creating the appropriate conditions for human flourishing and genuine liberty. Another essential and overlooked element of freedom is the fostering of a culture of solidarity\, in which an awareness of and concern for the disadvantaged becomes a guiding virtue. Particularly striking and persuasive are the sections devoted to eviscerating the false promises of libertarianism\, exposing the brutal injustices of the nation’s penitentiaries\, and documenting the wide-ranging pathologies that flow from a tax system favoring the ultrawealthy.” \nRead the entire review at: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/timothy-snyder/on-freedom-2/
