"Berger isn't convinced federal cuts will actually happen..." What planet is he living on? carolinapublicpress.org/70128/budget...

Aiming to limit damages, Catholic hospital argues a fetus isn’t the same as a ‘person’ If thats the case, why do they oppose abortion?Consistency folks!https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2025/04/09/aiming-to-limit-damages-catholic-hospital-argues-a-fetus-isnt-the-same-as-a-person/

“The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.” 🔥 🔥 This is exactly the response universities need to be giving across the board.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

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.

“A federal judge has denied a request by the Trump administration to reconsider a ruling in a lawsuit brought by faith-based refugee resettlement agencies, ordering the government to begin immediately processing and admitting refugees who were conditionally approved before Jan 20.”

Requiring a birth certificate, Real ID, or passport to purchase a gun could reduce fraudulent purchases and ensure buyers meet legal requirements… And should be just as essential as requiring identification for voting. WHO AGREES?! 🤚

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

Hello! We are a scrappy three-year-old civics blog based in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, NC. We just updated thegriffinlist.com, which contains detailed instructions for 65,000 NC voters whose votes might be thrown out in the state Supreme Court race. Please share!

🚨🚨Calling all North Carolina voters!! Here is a list of every voter that Jefferson Griffin is trying to disenfranchise, please if you are a NC voter check to see if your name is on here, you have 15 days to cure your ballot to make sure your vote counts. thegriffinlist.com/assets/griff...

Victims of human trafficking are pawns in the NC legislature. Thankful for Propublica’s reporting this story A Political Power Grab Redirected Funds for North Carolina’s Sexual Abuse Survivors. Women in Crisis Paid the Price. - ProPublica

#Sedona is sooo beautiful! Hope you enjoy a few pics

There is so much I could say about this, but the idea of RFK Jr being in charge of special ed is the worst. He doesn’t believe ADHD is real and wants to send kids to “camps” Chilling for sure www.nytimes.com/2025/03/21/u...

The jackals are circling

Oh, so let me get this straight: deciding not to buy a car now qualifies as “treason”, but beating cops with flagpoles, smearing shit on the walls of the Capitol, and trying to overthrow an election is just good old-fashioned “peaceful protest”? Give me a fucking break.

2024 was a huge year for the hysterectomy in so far as a secretly intersex pope had hysterectomy! on the big screen! and it was laparoscopic!

Incredibly proud of Rachel and Orange County Rape Crisis Center for speaking out! www.facebook.com/reel/6610848...

I always knew there was a good reason for my potty mouth! www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202...

Great article explaining what is happending to SA and DV agencies nationwide. The destabilizing effects of the looming questions over future funding for domestic violence and sexual assault agencies are overwhelming. 19thnews.org/2025/03/safe... 1/

News outlets everywhere should follow @wired.com's lead in dropping paywalls for primarily FOIA-based reporting. freedom.press/issues/wired...

Why do media put words in titles in quotation marks so frequently nowadays? Perhaps the writer doesn’t think this guy is a hero but is quoting the sheriff? Weird 'Hero' finds woman trapped in crashed car 6 days after she was reported missing, officials say

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy on Mahmoud Khalil.

There’s an Urdu name for a “Jack of all trades” that translates to “every talent Lord.” A Korean version is “eight direction beauty.” But my favourite name for someone who tries their hand at lots of different things is the Lithuanian Barbė devyndarbė. It means “Barbie nine jobs”

Just learning about the EO re: crypto. Shouldn’t the seized crypto go to the treasury to fund the Crime Victim’s Fund?

After Gisèle Pelicot trial, French women are fed up! Maybe we women in the US need to take a page out of their book. www.youtube.com/shorts/EsBa9...

Holy crap! Just saw that we have to spring forward tonight. Somehow I’d missed that.

NC is at it again, trying to put up more roadblocks to voting. HB 127 forbids voter registration drives from using actual voter registration forms and instead forces organizations to use a sample registration form leading to more confusion. webservices.ncleg.gov/ViewBillDocu...

He’s a total Moron! God save the USA!

the level of irresponsibility is disgraceful

Now this is a Big Deal!

This is what should be happening

Seeing reports that the FCC plans to take a vague and ineffective step on Section 230 to try to control speech online. So, I thought I'd offer some thoughts on why this Administration's war against the First Amendment and Americans' free speech rights is going nowhere. 🧵 1/??

Well, the data is in and SURPRISE (not), so called heartbeat bills in Texas banning abortion led to big increases in sepsis. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

The first real snow in Chapel Hill this year is distracting me from the news thank goodness! #viewfrommywindow
