Thank you Durham for supporting peace today. And no war in Venezuela. We illegally attacked and kidnapped a head of state. Congress was not informed. All for one man's ego. @codepink.nc @democracyoutloud.bsky.social @ed4d.bsky.social @50501nc.bsky.social @randompammit.bsky.social

We made America proud this year. Lead by example. Thank you @wethepeopledissent.bsky.social for keeping us updated on our resistance efforts! open.substack.com/pub/thepeopl...

Today Trump 'launched an official government webpage dedicated to publicly calling out journalists and news outlets whose reporting the president disputes.' He is also repeating that his opponents should be hanged. Thank you Aaron Parnas! @aaronparnas.bsky.social substack.com/@aaronparnas...

My Take on Gratitude... open.substack.com/pub/ncpots/p...

Love this update from FRC (Fayetteville Resistance Coalition) in DC. Remove the Regime featured FRC on the screens during the event. @50501veterans.bsky.social @50501nc.bsky.social @fayresistance.bsky.social

Yesterday morning this miracle appeared over central Durham. The photos are taken at 3 schools and 2 Home Depots. Because that was where people were protecting other people. Fortunately no further things occurred. And the community resistance showed strong and true. @siembranc.bsky.social

Last night I witnessed Earth's Greatest Enemy, by journalist and filmmaker Abby Martin. The US Military is the culprit. The pervasiveness of the culmination of the military industrial technological complex is omnipresent. @sierraclubnc.bsky.social @codepink.bsky.social earthsgreatestenemy.com/

Way up. Then capitulate. Then revving up again. This read by Rosie and her team resonates well today: substack.com/@rosietheres...

Leavitt: RFK Jr. is doing a phenomenal job bringing the gold standard of silence— science... back to our health care system

K. Starling notes the 4 that might be open to changing to no. Kaine, Rosen, Shaheen, & Hassan may be open to voting “No” on the 2nd vote. open.substack.com/pub/thepeopl... Eliza Orlins lays out: www.instagram.com/reel/DQ3KNQo... Also the 8 capitulators! www.instagram.com/p/DQ4NN7KDZJu/

Update. @slotkin.senate.gov has walked away. Thank you Senator Slotkin!

Thank you for reaching out to these Senators.

Organized by refusefascism.org, thousands of Handmaids march through DC on the anniversary of Trump's win in a "Trump Must Go Now" protest. ✊🏼

Yes. More of this.

Bull City Indivisible's founder/fearless leader Anna Rudderman shared this riveting speech by Destiny Rider from No Kings at Durham's Central Park yesterday. Destiny discusses her work at the Amazon fulfillment center in Garner, plus so much more. Please listen... @bullcityindivisi.bsky.social

Great joyful turnout along N Capital in Raleigh!

This is just one of those things...

What can one say...this is beyond comprehension...it is evil. The journalists represent us all. Thank you @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for amplifying this violent incident.

A comment on Robert Hubbell's substack this morning inspired me to post there for the first time. The topic was really set in motion within me from a recent listen to a Reveal two-part episode of the inherent trauma of being a black journalist in America. open.substack.com/pub/ncpots/p...

Impressive...

I95 OP Overpass, Fayetteville, 8/16 As part of a national coalition, the FRC held our bannering event at Cedar Creek Road over I95. @democracyoutloud.bsky.social @bullcityindivisi.bsky.social @50501nc.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @dworkin.bsky.social @fayresistance.bsky.social

Thank you @dworkin.bsky.social for leading with Raleigh today. Appreciate the Great News coverage. @bullcityindivisi.bsky.social @democracyoutloud.bsky.social @wakencindivisible.bsky.social @50501nc.bsky.social @50501activists.bsky.social @durhamdems.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/dworkin/...

We caused a good ruckus on I95 from Benson to south Fayetteville on Sunday...yours truly has a cameo or two. #wearetheflood @50501nc.bsky.social @thirdpartynow.bsky.social @democracyoutloud.bsky.social @randompammit.bsky.social @bullcityindivisi.bsky.social

I shared this a bit on Substack... @ariellaelm.bsky.social always complements that here. @democracyoutloud.bsky.social @wakencindivisible.bsky.social @bullcityindivisi.bsky.social @randompammit.bsky.social

Morning grazing...

Please understand that Murkowski being moderate is poppycock. Wes Siler, long-time journalist, including for Outside Magazine, clearly demonstrates Murkowski is selling her Big Bad Bill vote for repeal of the 2001 USFS Roadless Rule. open.substack.com/pub/wessiler...

We all are surviving another term of reactionary radical whiteward leaning Supreme Court 6-3. This cartoon is perfect.

@randompammit.bsky.social asked me to help be a 'marshally' yesterday at the NoKings rally in Lexington, NC. Which I interpreted as my role to be the enthusiastic, although gentle facilitator. WFMY news gave nice coverage. Reporter Joseph Leonard legit! www.wfmynews2.com/video/news/l...

This is beautiful.

I am seeing my cousin organize her second Townsend MA rally tomorrow (first April 5th). I am being a participant to last night's near spontaneous rally at the Bull in downtown Durham. No 'security' in sight. The Mayor (Leo Williams) joined us and that was welcome. www.wral.com/news/local/d...

The coverage from Monday on the Moore Square free David Huerta event continues...IndyWeek also discussed in the weekday email the NC General Assembly bills @democracyoutloud.bsky.social @indyweek.bsky.social @bullcityindivisi.bsky.social @wakencindivisible.bsky.social indyweek.com/news/wake/ra...

Please join Congresswoman Foushee at an informal meet and greet tomorrow at noon. Hosted by the Chatham Co Dems. @durhamdems.bsky.social @foushee.house.gov www.mobilize.us/chathamcount...

On April 3rd this year I attended an event at Fenway and a matching pair of Black Lives Matter signs graced the ends of the grandstands. Owner John Henry is known for his progressive views. He also owns The Boston Globe.

Shared by a commenter on Robert Hubbell’s Substack today. Believe something similar was done in San Fran earlier in May. lookout.co/santa-cruz-n...

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

The Qatar Economic Forum is hosting a public session on how to make money off of Trump’s bribery and corruption schemes. This is where we are.

@angela2932.bsky.social I noted I had not shared this article. Since you liked the other one... Different narrative of the event. Chase Pellegrini, of Durham's IndyWeek, and I sat & chatted after the event. Our shared perspectives became the basis of his article. indyweek.com/news/northca...

#50501movement #PeoplesMovement #May1 #MayDay #Durham #DurhamDems #ImpeachTrump ##DurProcess Durham #NC knows how to do a May Day rally! And then we marched to the courthouse.

Here is the @ncnewsline.com article.

NC Congresswoman Valerie Foushee (D-NC4) condemned the Trump administration at a Pittsboro town hall for carrying out a “campaign to undermine the very foundations of our democracy.” ncnewsline.com/2025/04/23/p... @kingdollar.bsky.social #ncpol #nc #ncga

@maddow.msnbc.com My dad is 98, WWII USNavy Veteran. Showed up for democracy in San Diego today. "I fought for it once, I'll fight for it again!" 💙🇺🇸💙 THIS is what democracy looks like!!!!

In Raleigh today (from a friend). And from the @altnps.bsky.social to share the current totals at 3.1 million.

I know it will get worse before it gets better, and we had a great early week, but it's still hard. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

New: New wave of terminations today at FDA. People arrived this morning and found out while waiting in line to go through security that they no longer worked there. A common pattern with DOGE: planning to maximize humiliation/disrespect.
