It's so real. I am helping a church pull together a community meeting about preparing for ICE and everyone I'm reaching out to "yes-ands" me. I am 40 and I have spent my entire adult life organizing, and I have literally never experienced this before. It's wild. People are DONE.

The NC Court of Appeals upheld a new law that drastically limits Gov. Stein's power to fill vacancies on appellate courts. This law requires Stein to appoint a judge from a list of 3 lawyers drawn up by the former judge's political party. www.theassemblync.com/wp-content/u... #ncpol

Ice on ICE violence

This is absolutely right. Some of the conservative and apolitical types who attended my evangelical college are now quietly liking my anti-ICE posts on Facebook (and sometimes posting their own). Building the opposition movement is a good thing.

And every election board in NC has a 3-2 GOP majority with a GOP chair, including Durham and Wake. #ncpol

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

The same people who told you that what you saw on Jan. 6 was a peaceful tourist visit are telling you that what you saw on Jan. 7 wasn't murder.

Democrats will continue to vote for Republican judges (like this guy, who refused to say who won the 2020 election) until Democrats are punished for voting for Republican judges

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

C'mon, folks. This isn't funny. How can we demand humanity from our government when jack*sses, like Moskowitz, are trivializing Noem's brutality by criticizing her looks. It's not about her clothes, ffs!

We can never become immune to cruelty (performative and actual), or nothing will ever change. It's obviously not okay when the right does it, but it's also not okay coming from the left. If you read one thing this week, let it be this piece. Thank you, Táíwò.

Law enforcement isn't supposed to stand in front of vehicles or shoot at vehicles driving away. So many broken and heartless people in government.

Elon Musk ran an unofficial government agency and sat at the right hand of the President as he waged the broadest attack on civil rights in a century and is openly agreeing with and boosting white supremacists. Yet he earned a $1 trillion pay package and news coverage that rarely mentions this.

I keep saying it. But they’d rather just tweet. Also, get the hell off Twitter. Tonight!

Uplifting news during a never-ending nightmare #ncpol

Consistently doubling down on everything they do because they are incapable of apologizing for wrongdoing or acknowledging they've made a mistake makes these Nazis incredibly sclerotic as politicians. If if weren't for elite capitulation we'd have pushed them into the sea by now. We still will.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

this is actually much more important video

Extremely disturbing. If this is the incident, it is inconsistent with DHS's statement.

56 years since Neil Young wrote this. Nothing has changed “Gotta get down to it Soldiers are cutting us down Shoulda been done long ago What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground’ How can you run when you know?” We can’t run this time. We have to fight back. Shoulda been done long ago

Oh my god.

I’m so relieved that Justice Earls has gotten the medical care she needs to recover fully. No one is more committed than Justice Earls to serving the people of North Carolina. She & I remain clear-eyed about taking back the courts for justice, & the next step is re-electing her in 2026.

The law is just a set of suggestions under our dear leader's administration. www.politico.com/news/2024/11...

In short, the NC Chamber thinks it's just fine that we don't have a budget, and corporate tax cuts aren't a problem. Bought and paid for by the NCGOP. #ncpol

Maduro Requests Lindsay Halligan to Prosecute Him

And ZERO questions from media or from Congress about not being in the secured situation room.

Trump being in the red on immigration is again, a five alarm fire for Republicans, especially those on the border. It’s a sign that people no longer associate immigration with crime or border security. This is THE issue for Trump alongside tariffs and people hate it.

Please remember that as this happens, women are also being stripped of the right to control their own bodies, young women are being pushed into tradwife bullshit, and a new generation of conservative men increasingly argue that women shouldn’t even have the right to vote bsky.app/profile/mhar...
