For nearly 20 years, North Carolina's Innocence Inquiry Commission has investigated claims of wrongful convictions. It's the only commission of its kind in the country. The NC Senate's budget proposal, which passed its final vote today, would eliminate the commission. www.wunc.org/politics/202...

The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

How many people do you think have received threats from Trump, Musk & their goons? Thousands? This interview by Rachel Maddow was chilling. You must watch & share it because our government is being attacked from within! The bravery of Daniel Berulis is so inspiring. I hope it's contagious. 🧵

This video is from the Krome ICE detention center in Miami. He’s saying that they’re essentially kidnapped. You can see how overcrowded it is, and other reports have stated that the detainees are denied adequate water. Translation starts below -

Texas Republican Keithself storms out of the meeting he's supposed to be running because a Democrat asked him to treat his colleague Sarah McBride with respect. These people would not last one day as a trans person.

SCOOP: The US Dept. of Education and GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw will each recognize "DeTrans Awareness Day" tomorrow with events featuring anti-trans activists. In lieu of a press release, I’m told the Dept. event will be covered exclusively by a reporter from The Federalist.

Just FYI, Tom argued for universal welfare, abolition, public education, state-sponsored pre/post-natal care, family subsidies, & retirement for workers at 50 w/state pensions that would double at 60. He also considered the American revolution a failure, co-opted by self-serving, landowning elites.

I think this is an important read. It provides an insight into what some of the richest people think about the future and how they are planning for it. And they are writing off the rest of us. Or rather they have already written us off.
