Buuuuurn

Happy thanksgiving! 🦃🍁🍂 I hope your day is peaceful and your conversations inspiring and uplifting. However, if you’re in the unfortunate situation of having to break bread with MAGAs maybe find some friends to play along.

We need to say a big THANK YOU to Senator Gillibrand for her inspiring leadership for the Equal Rights Amendment 🙏😊🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Please sign up and share with your networks!

North Hills Christian School in Salisbury, NC got nearly $1 million in taxpayer voucher funds this school year. The school charges students with learning disabilities up to $5000 more than their nondisabled peers. And GOP legislators call this "universal school choice"?? #nced #ncpol

Thank you, Gov. Cooper, for your veto of Senate Bill 382 — a proposal that fails to advance the rebuilding of Western NC, limits future response to disasters, and disrupts the function of state government. #ncpol #ncga #ncgov

Anyone follow the Roys Report julieroys.com/podcast/ #CACN

Crockett: The fact that we have Americans that are saying, wait a minute, are you saying that tariffs are going to negatively impact me? It's kind of like that wall that we are still waiting on Mexico to build, that they are going to pay for. No, we are going to pay for it.

@wesfryer.com I am in a multilingual Public School support network and we are looking for a chat app that will automate translation. Spanish & English. Got anything to recommend. We are currently using GroupMe. @mikefernandez.bsky.social

My view from breakfast this morning. I agree. Frustrated that folks need reminding. PublicEducationMatters.org #NCEd #EduSky

Gotta watch Budd. He has a hand in the cookie jar.

Hanging out at PBS North Carolina this morning to tape State Lines, airing Friday. Tune in to find out if these are the other panelists or just my emotional support #ncpol

It never changes #ncpol

We're having a crisis of credibility. #NCPOL open.substack.com/pub/politics...

NC Dems not support black women for office. Just putting them on the ballot is not enough. We have had very good candidates who were beaten by really bad Republicans. Imagine NC with Yvonne, Cheri, and Jessica-without Robinson, Budd, or Bolieck? Are we on the same team? #NCPOL

North Carolina's gerrymandered maps changed the nation. The three seats stolen from Democrats (mine included) cost Democrats control of the US House of Representatives. Without a brutal mid-census NC GOP gerrymander Hakeem Jeffries would be the next Speaker in a 218-217 House.

remember when the entire U.S. tech press spent 20 straight years propping up Elon Musk's supergenius engineer mythology and if you pointed out he was an opportunistic fraud they'd all look at you like you'd grown an extra head? good times

Good people of NC, you know what to do. Rally Monday. Gather at 10:30.

New discovery!

Baileywick Dog Park. The pups are having a great time exploring and chasing each other

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries. Why am I telling you this? In case you're ever asked "what were the key contributors to the Great Depression?" The mo' you know

Did you know? This is from the Bill Vetoed by Governor Cooper. Planning for enrollment is longitudinal and ongoing. ELIMINATE EDUCATION ENROLLMENT RESERVE FUNDS-$60,000,000 in recurring funds for the 2024-2025 year for the Enrollment Reserve is hereby eliminated www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/202...

Rep. Lindsey Prather (@pratherfornc.bsky.social) breakdown SB382. This is nothing more than a GOP power grab after the 2024 Election. #ncpol www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL5E...

Gov. Cooper has vetoed SB 382 but the #NCGA is expected to to try and override it next week. Several House Republicans including Rep. Gillespie, Rep. Clampitt, and Rep. Pless voted AGAINST SB 382 because it fails to provide real disaster relief. ⁠ Urge your rep to sustain the veto 💥 demnc.co/sb382

Wake County school board member Lynn Edmonds announced tonight she is working with other elected officials & parents to form a statewide chapter of GLSEN in North Carolina to help protect the safety of transgender students. #wcpss #nced #ncpol #wakepol

Good opportunity to tell everyone AAUP (@aaup.bsky.social) is here and we can absolutely fight this all together

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike. I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it. Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

For Pete's sake, Justice Berger is allowed to hear a case involving his father. These NCGOPers are really funny about how they identify a conflict of interest. #ncpol Just look at the sleazy grin on Griffin's face:

Here is the entire 20 video playlist of Timothy Snyder’s book (video series here), _On Tyranny_. This should be a part of every resistor’s collection of resources for living under tyranny and fighting back safely. All 20 videos are here. Let’s all get stronger & ready. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

“Opposing overbearing content moderation as a normative free speech matter is one thing. Conflating a private entity’s CM choices w/violation of users’ 1A rights in attempt to justify intrusive govt action (incl jawboning in his official capacity) is quite another.” www.thefire.org/news/commiss...

These 3 #NorthCarolina Republicans voted “No” on this sham of a bill. Please contact them before Monday via email or phone, asking/demanding they continue to side with the people and vote AGAINST overriding Cooper’s veto 🙏 #ncpol

“The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.” – Ida B. Wells #NCPol

80% of Americans & 65% of Republicans reject a national abortion ban. Project 2025 supports it anyway. If Republicans regain power, they will push for a ban. We can’t let "The Handmaid's Tale" become reality. Support civil rights & democratic freedoms. https://bit.ly/3ZbMv5l

Wonder about conflict of interest between the Speaker and Jr burger ?

Aide to a criminal president-elect is accused of acting like a criminal. News at 11.

What is the purpose of #NorthCarolina voter ID law? It's very clear. The purpose has nothing to do with voter fraud; it is to disenfranchise Democrats and elect more Republicans. #NCpol @abreezeclayton.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social @chriscooperwcu.bsky.social @oldnorthstpolitics.bsky.social

Does that not prevent #ncga from giving tax $$ to schools that charge admission fees????? #ncpol
