Duke energy had a record $4.5 billion profit and paid their CEO $32 million. Seems to me when consumers are already stretched thin in this high inflation environment, there should not be increased rates. How much more profit do they need?!

Wake educators are speaking out, and they’ll be marching in Raleigh on May 1st! Will you stand with them and join us? #KidsOverCorporations

It was great to join local farmers and agriculture leaders at the Orange County Agriculture Summit! Farmers are the backbone of NC—our state needs Congress to ensure proper federal funding and the passage of a strong Farm Bill that supports farmers and protects consumers.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate🧧 The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement. May 2026 bring New York the same bold change people deserve.

U.S. Rep. Valerie Foushee’s office highlighted recent federal funding secured for the upcoming fiscal year for local governments and utilities in her district, including millions of dollars for local projects. Read more here:

Ramadan Mubarak!

The Pentagon just failed its 8th consecutive audit and still got approved for a $1 TRILLION budget without blinking so I'm gonna need every corrupt hypocritical politician complaining about made up food stamp fraud and forcing drug tests and work requirements on poor people to shut up forever. Thx.

What’s up with the loud AF noise coming from UNC’s coal plant? We have a few queries out and will let you know what we find.

It is amazing the number of ways humans find to separate ourselves and then act in ways that harm groups that are other than the ones we identify with. D@ve Ch@pel has a new standup special and I’d heard that it was worth watching. It was not.

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...
