And Reps Fox, Edwards, Harrigan & Moore, all Republicans in the WNC mountains, will not do a thing about it.

This dismaying performance came 10 MONTHS before the horrifying debate. I'm sorry I fell for the Dems who trashed Hur & lied for Joe. 'In the audio recording, Mr. Hur’s conclusion- that a jury would see Mr. Biden as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory”- is ... irrefutable.'

When he swore to ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution’ on January 20, he refused to put his hand on the Bible. So maybe, maybe not.

I fell for and posted here the bogus Smithsonian story from BlackPressUSA reporter April Ryan. My apologies, BlueSky friends.

UPDATE: This news story apparently is untrue! Sorry I trusted this reporter and shared her false story about the Greensboro Woolworths Sit-in Exhibit. But of course, glad the Smithsonian is NOT dismantling the exhibit.

Someone has taken control of the NOAA feed. And that person is the antithesis of everything NOAA has stood for. "Waiting to be scooped up and processed...." "Those bison are waiting to be slaughtered and processed..." "Same for those passenger pigeons."

Thanks to @npr.org for this vital reporting. Trump's State Dept is slashing whole sections from the yearly comprehensive updates on human rights abuses in foreign countries. Corruption, prison conditions, gender violence, minority rights, free expression -stuff like that -are no longer mentioned.

The Rev. Dr. #PauliMurray was a great American hero. Trump fears her legacy as an obstacle to white-male supremacy. We should erect Murray's statue at UNC where she was denied admission because of her race, near the Chapel Hill church where she was ordained. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/c...

Dear alma mater #DukeUniversity - What will you say to Donald Trump? Americans sorely need more examples like Harvard. Duke students, professors, employees, neighbors & alumni count on you to stand up & speak up for free speech, open inquiry, and, yes, DEI. Yours, Bruce Siceloff ‘74

I just came across this timely tip for taxpayers, from the #IRS: Do not write a check for $100 million or more. Instead, break your tax payment into multiple checks for less than $100M apiece, or consider another means of payment.

Don't worry about @wunc.org & urban stations w/ affluent sustainers. But @npr.org fears that 18% of its 1,000 member stations will die, & 30% of listeners will be cut off, if Repubs kill federal funds. Let's see some reporting, before it's too late, on what this would mean in #NorthCarolina.

Lawyers, Big Law firms--you have a choice. Will you be Paul Weiss and Skadden, or will you be Jenner and WilmerHale. Appease Trump or fight his flagrantly unconstitutional orders. Partners, what will you tell your children?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has promised to figure out what’s behind rising rates of autism, “but what if there’s no mystery to be solved?” asks the scientist Holden Thorp. He argues that we already know what’s driving the uptick — and it’s not vaccines.
