A mulch fire right by I40 east of #Asheville. This is one of the large grinding sites for #Helene debris. They had large electronic sign’s approaching this saying authorities are aware. It was pretty weird seeing it burn this close to the highway.

For folks in the #Asheville and #NorthCarolina area, the Republican backed candidate for the #NC Supreme Court has won an appellate court ruling to throw out 65K votes in the race for a contested seat in our state's highest court.

Voters on this list must demand that they be taken off to be counted.

The full list and details can be found at thegriffinlist.com Look yourself up! Look up your neighbors, friends, coworkers, etc! Make sure your #vote is counted!

thegriffinlist.comThe Griffin ListA list of 60,273 North Carolina voters – these are registered voters who showed ID to early vote in the November 2024 election – whose votes Jefferson Griffin wants to not be counted. Griffin lost a close election for the North Carolina Supreme Court, confirmed via two recounts. He then sued the North Carolina State Board of Elections to have the 60,273 votes nullified.

Another good story, this time from ABC news about the huge protests yesterday all across the nation.

Great shot of #Asheville, and all the people in Pack Square. You can see us clearly as tiny blobs behind a tree way up the right side of the crowd.

ABC News · Huge crowds gather in 'Hands Off' rallies nationwide in protest of Trump administrationBy Ivan Pereira

We met up with our neighbor for a couple of hours, and she was smart enough, before leaving, to go down to towards the stage and shoot UP the hill, so you got a better feel for all the people there in Pack Square in #asheville today for #HandsOff.

Much better pictures than any of mine.

A couple more crowd scenes from the #asheville #HandsOff protest today.

First one shows a sign in red held by a man, reading "Let's Make America Great Depression Again" while the other is carried by a woman and read "Ugh, Where Do I Even Start"
