It’s clear that Trump and Elon think eliminating “waste, fraud, and abuse” really means taking away health care coverage from 630,000 North Carolinians to pay for $4 TRILLION in tax cuts for billionaires. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

I have to say that when I need a break from reading the news and deliberating how best to protest and resist the Cheeto Satan/Swasticar regime, I engage in some creative self-care - knitting, crocheting, & computer coding. I highly recommend learning a new skill that requires your entire attention.

"What’s ironic about Griffin and the GOP’s challenge is that photo ID has undermined much of their case . . . After all, those voters had to prove who they were at the polls, regardless of whether a number was missing on their registration paperwork."

So when we remove birthright citizenship can we go by the mother? Because: Don Jr was born in 1977 Ivanka was born in 1981 Eric was born in 1984 Ivana became a US citizen in 1988. Barron was born in March 2006 Melania became a US citizen in July 2006. Trump’s entire family would be deported.

NC requires public school teachers to hold a license. Durham, NC's Mt. Zion Christian Academy receives public $ for vouchers. They require their teachers to demonstrate their relationship w/the Holy Spirit by speaking in tongues. A license is optional. 😳 #nced #ncpol #ncga

It's not over yet. NC Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs, the Democratic incumbent, led Republican Jefferson Griffin by 625 votes out of 5.5 million once all votes were counted late Monday. Not all counties have finalized their counts, and Griffin's team has requested a recount.
