Thank you Santa Barbara Literary Festival for having me in conversation with Katherine Stewart and Lorissa Rinehart. Stewart's work and my own approach the anti-democratic movement from different perspectives, which made great conversation. (Please read her book, Money, Lies, and God.) And Rinehart: what you and your colleagues achieved with this fest is invigorating. I hope you sleep for a week. @sb_literary_festival by @janeborden
