@jeffcannata.bsky.social prior to the 2016 election, I remember you and Brian Brushwood had an online debate about the merits of voting in a presidential election. You were pro. He was against. I think about that debate a lot.

It’s the stupid, economy.

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!

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 HUGE red alert in North Carolina. The Appeals Court ruled that the 60,000+ voters whose ballots were challenged in the Supreme Court race have 15 BUSINESS DAYS to correct their registrations. This is gonna be all hands on deck, NC Dems. Stay tuned. www.carolinajournal.com/appeals-cour...

Portnoy: “Everything is in the shitter because of” Trump’s tariffs

👇🏽 🎯 the point is to force the world to beg him for carve outs (and pay him off) Mafia-style Government

this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov Thanks for showing leadership!

Wow. Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC. “I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!” Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out. We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

We can accomplish great things through collective action.

Yes, my economic plan will cause short term pain. But after that you won't feel the pain anymore because you'll be dead

We are the fucking bad guys. I never thought I’d see it happen to America. Sure, we have done bad things as a country, but it’s never been more clear. We’re the bad guys in the world now. The Russia-America Axis. It’s horrifying.
