Ken Donnell lost a business and a home to the 2021 Dixie wildfire in Greenville and is trying to rebuild. He’s a hippie with the heart of a dreamer. But he’s not blind to the problems that plagued his beloved little town before the flames.

Ken Donnell, a musician and inventor originally from Los Angeles, lost a business and a home to the Dixie fire and is in the process of rebuilding. He’s a hippie with the heart of a dreamer.

Brian Hughes, a founder of the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab at American University, warns that “an awful lot of radicalization and extremist propaganda works because it finds a reasonable hook.” This summer, some ranchers and farmers in nearby Siskiyou County went rogue, ignoring state orders to stop taking water from rivers to irrigate their fields. They claimed they had legal rights to the flow and were mad at what they perceived as a “rules for thee, not for me” attitude from authorities, especially Newsom.
