Excited to get my copy of Inherited Inequality, such an important new book by the brilliant Dr. Christina Cross @christinajcross.bsky.social! I look forward to reading it and teaching it! 😊 #Sociology #Policy #Families #Inequality

As we celebrate our 60th anniversary this year, we’re taking a deep dive into our history. To learn more about our challenge, check out this link: https://law.justia.com/cases/north-carolina/court-of-appeals/1975/754sc90-1.html.

Highlights from this morning's Operation Overpass "No National Guard/Troops In Our Streets" bridge bannering.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

#NC #seniors take note you can still get your #COVID vaccine without a prescription right now!

So many people are canceling Disney+ over the Kimmel suspension that the cancellation page crashed. Did you cancel too?

Today the Oversight Committee sat down with Alex Acosta. What we heard only confirmed what we already knew: he cut a sweetheart deal for Epstein, silenced victims, and let a predator walk free.

Bravely volunteering for a grueling journalistic assignment: hitting every NYC comedy club to report back on the best Jimmy Kimmel jokes It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it

Hey, real quick: All you fascists bound to LOSE!

Very glad we read this article by Dr Abrams because the way we were like 🤨 open.substack.com/pub/drstacey...

Today’s American Contradiction: kids bleed in hallways and Congress hesitates. Kirk dies and the pundits sprint to condemn violence. We mourn the children. We organize for the living. Read the op-ed by Sinbad on Substack: https://f.mtr.cool/bomxujaakj

Hi Everyone! Please share far and wide on all socials the latest from 50501 Veterans Substack: A DC Diary as veterans continue to lead the way as we #RageAgainstTheRegime and #fightfascism on our own shores. 

JD Vance defended the U.S. military’s strike on an alleged drug vessel leaving Venezuela. Rand Paul is fuming. “JD “I don’t give a shit” Vance says killing people he accuses of a crime is the “highest and best use of the military.” Did he ever read To Kill a Mockingbird?” Paul wrote on X.

Duh. It’s grandfather, Reaganomics, didn’t work either!

The Trump administration wants to rescind the 2001 Roadless Rule, a conservation policy that protects undeveloped areas in national forests. The deadline to submit public comment is September 19. www.wunc.org/environment/...

RFK Jr. should’ve never been confirmed, & he’s proven that every day since. Children are literally dying from measles because of his lies & reckless anti-vax agenda. He is a threat to our health & our democracy. Public office has no place for deadly, deranged delusion. It’s time for him to resign.

Charlotte, are you ready to vote? Voting for the 2025 Primaries happens tomorrow, September 9th. For more information on the 2025 Charlotte Primaries, finding a polling place, and candidate researching, visit the NC Voter Guide for Charlotte here: https://ncvoterguide.org/charlotte/

RFK Jr. just said he sees “no successes” in the very health agencies he runs. That’s absurd. The CDC helped eradicate smallpox, combat HIV/AIDS, cut smoking, and save millions of lives with vaccines. Undermining that legacy doesn’t protect Americans—it puts us all at risk.

@leahlitman.bsky.social said it best: “Political culture imagines that the Supreme Court safeguards the Constitution, when in reality it is chipping away at the constitutional rights of historically marginalized groups."

Every shutdown is a choice. The GOP chooses chaos. The choice for Democrats is clear: stand tall, make demands, and fight for us. #DefendDemocracy #TrumpShutdown #ShowSomeSpine #GOPShutdown #LetEmCook

I hope everyone in the entire US Congress reads this article. Those who do will know that there needs to be a firm line in the sand. Bipartisanship is dead. Are we going to doom the rest of the country too? @everyone read this op-ed: substack.com/@paulwaldman...

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

On No King's Day, over 12 million people came out. Here are just a few reasons why.

VICTORY! Yes, it is a victory tainted by mourning for the deaths in Minnesota. But it is still a victory. Keep it up, America!

Kings use military forces like personal projects. Democracies serve the people. #NoKings

Support and defend the Constitution.

Never forget that what we are seeing happen right now was an explicit and open campaign promise of Trump's.

They voted FOR it, but now they want the Senate to "restore common sense." A bill so bad, even it's supporters don't want it to pass! Tell Tillis even Republicans hate thls budget! #voteNO #FeelTheHeat #IronFrontNC www.politico.com/live-updates...

The escalating force in LA makes your voice even more important! Come out Saturday to say NO KINGS! #FeelTheHeat #IronFrontNC ironfrontnc.org/feel-the-heat

Former Afghan soldier arrested at Houston-area home by ICE, stripped of asylum protections “It’s very concerning that ICE is targeting people who actually put their lives on the line for U.S. service members," Zakaria said. www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

They fought fascists "over there." We honor them by fighting fascists here.

Turn up the heat! It's BOGUS not beautiful, and Tillis knows it! ironfrontnc.org/feel-the-heat

The Big Bogus Bill just becomes more bogus the more you burrow into it. A new report suggests as many as 4.5 MILLION kids could lose the could tax credit under the new budget! www.cbsnews.com/news/child-t... Write Tillis TODAY to stop this boondoggle! #FeelTheHeat #ironfrontnc

Bring the fire! Stop the Big Boondoggle Bill! Let Tillis know what North Carolina thinks of trillions for billionaires and pain for the people. Go to ironfrontnc.org/feeltheheat for tips and ideas. Light it up! #feeltheheat #ironfrontnc

Should the suspect be arrested? Absolutely! Should ICE have principal jurisdiction? Absolutely not. ICE doesn't prosecute, they deport. This is not their place. #fascismwatch

Despicable. One might even say "deplorable."

Show us your favorite TACO takedown! If it's your own creation, we might even put it up in the shop! #FeelTheHeat #IronFrontNC

Tell Tillis to stop the "Big Bogus Bill." Light up his inbox! #FeelTheHeat
