Meanwhile in Providence, RI: “ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply.” www.wpri.com/news/local-n...

Working to build a more just and equitable future in Carrboro means standing on the shoulders of giants like Braxton Foushee, now the recipient of one of NC’s highest civilian honors: the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. townofcarrboro.org/CivicAlerts....

Kavanaugh Stop. Abusive and disgusting. ncnewsline.com/2025/11/20/t...

Sometimes responding to tyranny means going out into the streets. Other times it might be visiting with a neighbor to reassure them and meet their needs. For me, today, it is making phone calls to colleagues between reading books to my sick child. We all have our roles.

“The blueprint is there, and we’re seeing it now, how he would dismantle protections for all kinds of people.”

From coffee shops to electrical contractors, local businesses are getting crash courses in constitutional law to prepare for potential encounters with federal agents.

license plate data merged with credit header data, marriage records, vehicle ownership, and voter registrations, in one app for ICE agents. oh and it sends push notifications when someone they're seeking is nearby. 🆒: www.404media.co/this-app-let...

NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about. DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom. Tonight, at Law Dork:

Schumer seems to think that politics is something that just *happens* to politicians, like the weather — rather than something that *politicians actively engage in and shape.*

Not great! www.lpm.org/news/2025-10...

NEW: We just filed a lawsuit alongside 25 states to restore SNAP food assistance during the federal shutdown. 141,000 DC residents rely on SNAP to afford their meals — including 47,000 children and 24,000 seniors. We will do everything in our power to prevent DC families from going hungry.

Our community just donated thousands of menstrual products that are supporting families at IFC, Freedom House, UNC's Horizons program, and students through the Carolina Cupboard and CJ's Cupboard @uncpublichealth.bsky.social 🙏

“The boat strikes constitute murder,” Eugene R. Fidell told me. He used to be a JAG in the Coast Guard and is now at Yale Law School. The entire operation amounts to “treating the world as a free-fire zone,” he said.

Huge scale of SNAP cliff continued: over 2.5 million dollars in benefits come in to Orange County NC every MONTH. For every 1 meal our food banks provide, SNAP covers 9. We will do as much as we can, but even if each of us gave past our point of pain, it still would not be enough.

Two Illinois National Guard members speak out: "I won't turn against my neighbors."

Mental Health First Aid two (half) day Course starts November 6th at the Drakeford Library. See the flyer.

Reeling from the scale of the SNAP cliff. In Orange County NC alone: 8700 individual SNAP recipients in 4683 families.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

I used to teach a college level 'community organizing' class many years ago. After a class one day, a student came to me and said "it's so much work to organize. I thought change just happened." I think of that student often.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

www.doa.nc.gov/news/press-r... For folks asking about yesterday in Carrboro, the link has the answer near the bottom of the page: “Note: Flags will also be lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Saturday, September 13, in honor of civil rights activist Major General Joseph McNeil.”

The Town of Carrboro expresses its deepest sympathy following the recent death of former Town Alderman Hilliard Caldwell. Caldwell was a pivotal figure who advocated for and participated in the desegregation of schools in Carrboro during the Civil Rights Movement. ℹ️ https://monkeylink.co/7b5a56

The abrupt and incoherent end of TPS today throws a lot of your neighbors into a legal limbo. Many of these are people who have worked here for decades. enlacelatinonc.org/fin-del-tps-...

Set up shop outside Gray Squirrel Coffee in Carrboro and got recognized by the Mills River Town Manager. Small world!

If folks want a protest on a weekday and want people to stay in the streets indefinitely, then you have to organize it. Who is supposed to make this happen? Why not you?

Such an outstanding column by @gustavoarellano.bsky.social! Police abuses. Immigration raids. Dehumanizing technology. Rethinking political party loyalty. History is repeating itself. Ruben Salazar already covered it all.

Making denial of the existence of my intersex, nonbinary, and trans neighbors, colleagues, and friends a condition of federal science funding is gross and despotic. They are here, and I will stand up for them.

We had an agenda item this June in Carrboro about removing on-street parking on Elm St. One of the rationales given was that cars queue up for afternoon pickup at Carrboro elementary along Elm, blocking the passage of other motor vehicles.

None of us are free until all of us are free. Fight to defend the human rights of immigrants and trans kids or block me now.
