My hometown, #Durham #NC says #NOKINGS! Keep rolling! (Dang, I miss some Bojangles biscuits)

Making signs in Durham NC! #NoKings

We are Durham NC! #NoKings

Durham is gathering #nokings

On our way to #NoKings

Everyone should listen to this. It’s easy to blame Rogan for understanding the situation far too late, but the important thing is that he’s using his platform-with his millions of listeners-to talk about it now. This one show will reach more normal GOP folks than we ever could.

My alma mater is #1! #NCCULaw, baby! abovethelaw.com/2025/10/the-...

😎💙👊

See you there!

Rallies across the Charlotte region and nation intend to be peaceful protests against the policies of President Donald Trump.

We will be posting live updates from Durham, NC! #nokings www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

🚨BREAKING: New York Court of Appeals UNANIMOUSLY UPHOLDS state law moving most county and town elections to even-numbered years. By aligning them with state and federal elections, it will boost voter turnout. Another victory for voters and defeat for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/new-yo...

They arrested a giraffe.

A group of high school students is leading the charge for a tenant protection ordinance. They did the hard work. Durham NC friends, time to show up! Op-Ed: Durham Needs a Tenant Protection Ordinance indyweek.com/news/opinion...

The three major airports near New York City have joined Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle, Portland, Charlotte, Cleveland, and Buffalo.

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents. This anonymous denial of due process is deadly. 1/2

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Proud of my regional airport ORF, which refuses to show the unlawful TSA video www.13newsnow.com/article/news...

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes. Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Chicago not letting Portland have all the fun 🐧

Listen to the response to this and look how easy it is to say it.

So Janet Mills 77, wants to replace 72 year old Susan Collins? And this is Chuck Schumer’s pick? Because she won’t ruin his good thing!🤑 Maine, you need to elect someone who Will work and serve YOU and YOUR NEEDS! JANET MILLS SERVES BILLIONAIRES!

But did I make it home with peanut m&ms? Oh yes I did!

THESE are the promises I want to hear.

Congratulations to all the runners today at the Chicago Marathon! I hope you’re taking a moment after crossing the finish line and enjoying all that the best big city in the nation has to offer.

Today is the second time in two days I went to the grocery store with a list, didn't look at the list, and didn't buy the one thing on the list that triggered the trip in the first place. 🤦‍♀️

Trump just used the shutdown to wipe out the special ed department. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

Hidden behind closed walls. Oppression, dehumanizing, cruelty, abuse.

Chronic shortages = big problems! "North Carolina had 1,544 special education teaching jobs last fall that were either vacant or filled by someone who didn't hold a qualifying teaching license. That's up from 616 in the fall of 2021." #nced #ncpublicschools www.wral.com/story/nc-isn...

What needs to be corrected is the horrific, bigoted, cruel prison industry. Including ICE detention.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.” The beautiful humility of Venezuelan pro-democracy leader, Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.
