Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

North Carolina Governor Josh Stein said that FEMA will stop matching 100% of the money for Hurricane Helene recovery in North Carolina. Donald Trump’s administration refused Stein’s request to extend its 100% reimbursement period for another 180 days calling it “unwarranted.” Appalling.

Remember I told you that the plan is to get the “minerals deal” with Ukraine, then “realize” you can’t get the profits on it (infrastructure isn’t there, and… war), so then Russia could “buy US out” of the deal and hereby own it all? Think who actually needs the pipeline to have EU’s dependence ⬇️

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.

Also what if the president tries to enter a country that bars the entry of convicted American felons? Actually, that’s kind of the other country’s problem, isn’t it? 🤔
