This is a perfect example of a micromanaging and toxic manager that most people hate working for in business. It shows exactly who's in charge of the United States - and it's sure as hell isn't DJT. #politics #wtf

What’s the opposite of a profile in courage? A truly amazing story of political cowardice by Thom Tillis. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/u...

JUST IN: On eve of NCDP elections, a number of party leaders, including NC's first Black congresswoman, wrote a blistering rebuke of party leaders. In response, the NCDP has agreed to move the Eva Clayton Fellowship Program to new stewards. #ncpol andersonalerts.substack.com/p/eva-clayto...

Nazis in Beacon Hill headed to Government Center #Boston #Nazis

I totally agree with this assessment. We are paying for having the sheer audacity for voting for Barack Obama twice. The racism that is part of the US will continue to plague us for many years to come, which stinks, sigh 😔.

We need to create a culture of solidarity. Boycotts and strikes are effective. February 28th, join us.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Hegseth on CQ Brown: "Was it because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt — which on its face seems unfair to CQ. But since he has made the race card one of his biggest calling cards, it doesn’t really much matter."

Friday night purge has started. Joint Chiefs of Staff General CQ Brown has been fired. abc7.com/post/pentago...

Harnett County: Join us at The People vs. Griffin rally in Lillington this Sunday (Feb. 23) from 2pm – 4pm at the Harnett County Courthouse. ▶️ Details & RSVP: bit.ly/3ELpKxl It's the people's turn to say: reject sore loser Jefferson Griffin's shameful scheme — and respect our votes!

If this ends up literally being stolen via the courts, we are truly even more screwed than ever in NC. This blatant power grab by a weenie who can't admit that he lost to a woman shouldn't be going as far as it has in the system. #ncpol #ncga #nccourts

The sovereigntist agenda: Mike Lee’s bill to pull the US out of the UN. www.lee.senate.gov/services/fil...

I'm totally against book banning, but I can't help but be amused that JD Vance's book 'Hillbilly Elegy' has been caught up in a book ban/review by the DoD. His book is considered DEI, I guess! #books #bookbanning pen.org/julianne-moo...

A U.S. federal judge said the government needs to comply with his original temporary restraining order, though he did not hold the government in contempt.

Justice Earls speaks the truth. #ncpol

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Take it easy out there - roads are extremely hazardous, particularly if you're in a rural area & have county services only! #durhamnc #nced

JFC. Kash Patel is FBI director. Collins & Murkowski voted no for a 51-49 vote. Unqualified, unhinged, and a MAGA true believer.

Thank you to the American Constitution Society for publishing my piece documenting the autocratic assault on the rule of law taking place in North Carolina. Bad stuff is going on. People, pay attention before it comes knocking on your state’s door #NorthCarolina #ncpol www.acslaw.org/expertforum/...

The restrictions are already in place at the General Services Administration along with several other agencies. Soon they'll roll out to most of the federal government, sources say.

New: The Senate HELP Committee votes 12-11 to advance Linda McMahon’s nomination as Education Secretary to the full Senate. #ncpol

Snow day 2. Keeping warm! #photography #franklincountync

This is not particularly surprising. After all, if the government is funding programs that help its constituents, it's bad, according to DJT and DOGE, sigh.

Phase Two is starting. Silencing criticism of DJT/Musk/SCOTUS via investigation & intimidation is on the plate.

Federal grants cut as CMS faces tough budget outlook The cuts include a $1.8 million joint grant with UNC Charlotte to improve teacher recruitment at hard-to-staff schools. #nced #ncpol www.wfae.org/education/20...

Today is the Day of Remembrance, the 83rd anniversary of the forced removal of 120,000 people of Japanese descent to American concentration camps. American soldiers physically tortured and murdered Japanese Americans in these camps. Their money, homes, businesses, and wealth were stolen.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.
