…and the incoherence doth begin thusly.

What's the difference between ICE and Border Patrol? FAQ: nclocal.org/2025/11/14/f...

There can be only one.

The person brave enough to leak this nakedly fascist would-be policy deserves all kinds of kudos. However, the idea that this policy would've been implemented in the first place is maddening, and is an excellent example of how this regime wants us to go towards authoritarianism.

This was just shady to use non-public data for AI modeling. I suspect that we will see more and more lawsuits as the general public gets more AI-savvy. #nc

The world is upside down. My Silent Gen parents would be horrified at this.

JFC. The antivax conspiracy people are running the show at the CDC. #healthsky

More shoes are going to drop, and it’s no surprise that large bank executives were hiding the money side of the Epstein operation. Thread 🧵 below ⬇️. #followthemoney

Nobody should be surprised by this. Abbott is employing the same tactics as the current administration.

This is one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen- and makes me glad I don’t have children. It’s a must-watch report.

Precisely. Those CEOs will get huge bonuses, too, because getting rid of consumer protections allows the airlines (which already nickel & dime us to death) to make huge profits.

If you’re in the #Raleigh area, watch out for ICE/CBP. Whistles up! #ncpol

Clean water for the rich only. The rest of us can get sick with all sorts of environmental related diseases.

These survivors have suffered for too long. Release the files. My concern is now that DJT is calling for the release is that they’ve been doctored and/or purged of him and other high-level GOP operatives. That thought is infuriating.

Border Patrol and ICE are currently arresting and stealing our community members off the streets in Charlotte. Donald Trump is single-handedly responsible for this heinous actions. PLEASE report any activity you see. And know that our party stand with ALL immigrant communities.

RFK Jr's advisor, Calley Means, has repeatedly fabricated the story of Abraham Flexner and the birth of the modern medical system. Derek looks into his historical revisionism and what it could mean for the MAHA movement. www.conspirituality.net/episodes/brief-does-calley-means-get-anything-right

This is such corrupt overreach (and probably illegal). This smacks of Wag the Dog behavior as the Epstein files scandal grows exponentially. #nc #ncpol

That’s quite a visualization, just sayin’

NC Governor urges citizens to remain peaceful but vigilant as Border Patrol arrives in Charlotte ncnewsline.com/briefs/nc-go... #ncpol #Charlotte

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

Last night, I was able to get a few pictures from an auroral substorm that hit around 11:30 pm. Although not as strong as Tuesday night, it’s still pretty. Franklin County, NC. #photography #franklincountync #aurora #nature #NorthernLights

The White House is in panic mode because word’s out that multiple Republicans will break from Trump on the Epstein vote. But remember, MAGA screamed “pedophile” at Dems —to hide the monster in their own house. The spell’s breaking, and the truth’s catching up. open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

NC’s governor making more clear a stance he signaled during remarks Tuesday - opposition to the reopening deal that doesn’t include extending ACA subsidies. Has called it ‘inexcusable.’ #ncpol ncnewsline.com/2025/11/11/n...

Megyn Kelly is the grossest of gross people. WTF, indeed!

It’s about damn time! H/t Lizzo

Watch the below thread for more emails. A pox upon the electorate that re-elected a known dementia-addled abuser because "OMG! We can't have a woman leading this country..."

More governors need to push back on this clearly illegal nonsense that’s being pushed by an increasingly incompetent (and dangerously authoritarian) administration. #nc #ncpol

Getting some of the aurora action down here in Franklin County, NC! #photography #nature #aurora

The queer pop anthem this administration did not ask for. 💕🐴🤥 #BigPhonySchmuck #NewVideo #parody

Sarah Kendzior’s writings are invaluable resources on authoritarianism & kleptocracies.

Yeah, and look how well that worked! We need to get rid of the corporate lobby PACs. In short, Citizens United has got to go!

I don’t think the squishy Democrats have truly realized just how much they’ve angered their constituents. The ones brave enough to hold town halls are going to get their butts righteously reamed. In the meantime, primary these jackholes with people that will fight! Eff ‘em!

#ncpol The open corruption that’s going on at the NC Board of Elections is ridiculous. One can only hope the electorate comes out in force to try to stop this.

Timeline cleanser! Fluffle is beautiful 😍.

LFG!

This is just full of bunk. My reddish leaning county flipped seats in NC. Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt, as they say.

PREDICTION: Reporter: "Mr. Speaker, any comments on the results of last night's election?" Mike Johnson:

Congratulations to all #franklincountyncdems who won their elections last night. I can't vote in city-based elections (only county-based), so it's great to see this happen. #ncpol

Moms for Liberty is exactly the opposite for what they say they stand for. Moms for Oppression would suit them better. In the meantime, it’s worth your time to read the article below.

This week's SK Digest has a November cooking agenda full of cozy recipes from chili to loaded baked potatoes, a vegan apple cider doughnut cake, and a crunchy-topped cranberry pecan bread that would be heavenly right now with a cup of coffee. smittenkitchen.substack.com/p/10-great-t...

People shouldn’t have to work 2 or 3 jobs just to barely scrape by. The “bootstraps” mentality in the States is ridiculous.

Democrats need to be bold and offer real solutions to us everyday people who just want to make decent money, have a nice roof under our heads, be treated like equals, and actually retire instead of hoping that we can work as long as possible to afford to live. Oh, and affordable healthcare, damn it!
