#EconomicJustice is #ReproductiveJustice, & everyone deserves a fair wage for their labor! Everyone deserves to put a roof over their head & afford repro health care. Everyone deserves to access abortion & provide for their families. This #MayDay find NC events here: www.mobilize.us/commoncause/...

I continue to think that “revealing in great detail how many powerful, rich, and famous people are lazy idiots” constitutes one of the most crucial societal impacts of the rise of social media

HEY NCGA, I FOUND THE EDUCATIONAL INDOCTRINIZATION YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR: "Pastor Tom Kakadelis—a 44-year veteran pastor and education advocate—shared his insights on how churches can harness school choice to expand their ministries." #ncpol

I'd have happily taken just $600,000 to tell the DMV that they need to hire more people and pay them more #ncpol

Instead of the boring ass EPL, folks should be watching MLS, with 7 different champions over the past 8 years Toronto 🏆 Atlanta 🏆 Seattle 🏆 Columbus 🏆🏆 NYFC 🏆 LAFC 🏆 LA Galaxy 🏆

"That’s the world Trump and Vance seem to be nostalgic for, one in which women were constantly pregnant and in labor, and children were constantly dying horrible deaths. " newrepublic.com/article/1944...

Just rub some ivermectin on it

I still occasionally get told "release the hostages and the war will end". Well the central problem with this is that it's fundamentally untrue.

Does Pochettino have the balls to call up the US’s best midfielder, Sebastian Berhalter? #USMNT

Dude, you’re a fucking slumlord #LIVTOT #LFC

We won!! A nationwide preliminary injunction against McMahon's February Dear Colleague letter which tried to stop public schools & higher Ed from teaching honest history or enforcing student civil rights. It’s a win for students, families & educators. democracyforward.org/updates/harm...

I'm still waiting for the first #ncpol article about "DEI" that a) asks anti-DEI pols why they think racial disparities exist; and b) catalog this General Assembly's long list of racist legislation

Who to believe, the people who've studied literacy their whole lives or the journalist with a podcast? Tough to say

I will say it again — DEI has always polled well and the idea that it's broadly upopular is wholly the invention of pundits nursing their own grievances and projecting them onto an imagined average American. Many such cases.

Giving teachers bereavement leave should be a no-brainer

They want to kill kids

Very cool story. I can only imagine how much fun these kids had at this special place

Friends, for the next 3 weeks you can stream the Oscar-winning Palestinian-Israeli documentary No Other Land, and benefit the besieged West Bank community of Masafer Yatta where it was filmed. Please do it. www.avclub.com/no-other-lan...

Another R effort to lower life expectancy

Did nobody mention Leandro at NC Child's "State of the Child" summit? Seems weird not to mention that all of these issues are addressed in the Leandro Comprehensive Remedial Plan that the state is under an active court order to implement #ncpol

Yet another R effort to shorten life expectancy

Pennsylvania GOP blowing as hard as they can on their racial dog whistles

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

If Texans wanted vouchers, then Trump wouldn’t have to call to threaten members to pass it #txlege

The ridiculous part of Trump's boneheaded effort to reindustrialize America is that without unions, manufacturing jobs are not good jobs cepr.net/publications...

The most powerful politician in the state says that he gets to ignore the parts of the constitution he doesn't like. He's protected by his son on the Supreme Court. All in an effort to screw over kids so he can give tax cuts to his donors. Help me understand why this isn't a big deal #ncpol

A major scandal. Corruption of the highest order. Yet silence from the #ncpol press. Again, I sincerely ask: why is the press ignoring the biggest issue in the biggest part of the state budget?

Teacher vacancies are at record levels. Yet under the Senate budget, starting teacher pay would be 11.5% below where it was a decade ago. #ncpol
