On World Kindness day, (which we need more than ever) I’m remembering the kindest person I had the honor of meeting. My mother who passed away 5 years ago today. Pass along kindness.

Mentors can help you know that you deserve to be in spaces. Thank you #MistyCopeland and #WomenLeadNC

Alternatively, we could. #InvestInPublicEducation. And materially changed people’s lives to the better.

Fear will try to convince us to isolate, to hoard resources, to avoid community, to build the least threatening campaigns making little impact. A grounded risk assessment will move us closer to each other, it’ll remind us of that we are millions, it’ll make our work more bold and more brave.

One of the defining features of authoritarian society is the ruthless but selective use of the machinery of repression—and associated propaganda about criminality and “order”—to immunize predatory behavior of the powerful while crushing everyone else into profitable obedience.

Who does this benefit?

I also dissent.

Kavanaugh doubles down on (& misapplies) the most shameful standing decision in the Court’s modern history, Los Angeles vs. Lyons (1983). In Lyons a Black man who was victim of a chokehold by LAPD sought to enjoin its use. SCOTUS said no standing b/c….how do you know it will happen to you again?

Why are we allowing children to be killed?

We must.

So much love to the families and community. We should chose to live in a way that are children are safer.

Happy first day of school to all the teachers, staff, administrators, and school personnel, especially the bus drivers! Thank you, thank you thank you!

Everyone on TV not asking this question is doing it wrong

Dolly Parton has sent my daughter a new book every month for years as she does for thousands of children. She help fund the development of the Covid vaccine. She’s not a billionaire. I think as non wealthy people it’s hard to even imagine how much billionaires *could* be doing with their money.

Hey NC,the request was to turn the heat DOWN, not OFF. Thank you

We simply cannot continue to provide the Israeli government with weapons when they are not being used in accordance with international law to maximize the protection of civilians in Gaza. (3/3)

More attention here please.

Those held in President Trump's "Alligator Alcatraz" are being held in dangerous conditions with no regard for people's safety or humanity. This cruelty must end.

More than two dozen rabbis were arrested this morning for sitting down on the floor in Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s office and praying for food aid for people in Gaza. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Are these robots?

Emmett Till would be 84 today. Not 114. Not 104. 84. He would be my uncle. Not great-great or great uncle. One of my parents' siblings. This is why we remember.

JUST IN: US judge reaffirms nationwide injunction blocking Trump executive order on birthright citizenship reut.rs/3H3p2Na

Where is #Superman?

This is hard to fathom. Who does this benefit?

“But Superman, stopping that country from invading another was politically fraught” “THEY WERE GOING TO KILL PEOPLE!!!!” James Gunn made a movie that says this: people worrying about politics are not the heroes. The people trying to stop mass murder are the heroes. That’s that on that

Oh.my.God!

Good to #AngelReese and #mamdaniformayor!

A judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s immigration raids in the Los Angeles region, calling some tactics unconstitutional.

This is what democracy looks like. Thank you veterans! ❤️

CHCCS: Parents/community: In line with recent state legislation, CHCCS will implement a no cell phone policy for students beginning this fall. One exception is lunch for high school students. Students: Bruh, y’all gotta keep cell phones in lockers/backpacks when we go back to school.

We pay taxes to #InvestInPeople.

Sending so much love to the families of the children in Texas impacted by the flooding.

Language is so important as we think about how to keep people safe. I refute all forms of antisemitism.

I also deny that I ate ice cream yesterday. Pls ignore the bowl and spoon in the sink. Thank you.

The Town of Carrboro will hold its 12th Annual Community Reading of the Frederick Douglass essay "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" on Friday, July 4, 2025. The reading will occur from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Carrboro Century Center, 100 N. Greensboro St. ℹ️ https://monkeylink.co/b17ec9

The deficit was $1.8 trillion, or 6% of GDP, last fiscal year. Moody’s estimates it will reach nearly 9% of GDP by 2035, pushing publicly held federal debt from under 100% of GDP now to more than 130%. That compares to the previous record of 106% in 1946. www.wsj.com/finance/inve...

When we invest in structural solutions, we see sustainable outcomes.

Where are the fiscal conservatives?

On this 249th birthday of the place we’ve come to know as the United States of America there is still a hope that we can shift to the long held vision of democracy and unity.

“If Republicans were so proud of this One Big Ugly Bill, why did debate begin at 3:28 am?” “I’m gonna take my time and ensure that the American people fully understand how damaging this bill will be to their quality of life.” - House Democratic Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social early this morning

The part that is the most difficult to understand is there is enough for everybody. America could be the beautiful beacon so many believed it could be.

Americans do not benefit from this.

Whole benefits from this?

@warnock.senate.gov is right. A healthy society is one where everyone—especially our most vulnerable—have access to the basic building blocks of well-being. Investing in people’s health is not a partisan issue—it’s a moral and economic imperative. #VoteNo #BigUglyBill

God helps us please.
