This reminded me of the book Good to Great, which I think had a chapter on a small NC newspaper that was doing great when other papers were sinking. Secret? Using lots of photos of locals.

Could be wrong, but I suspect gnomes would be tickled to be slut-shamed.

In 1788, NC's elected delegates met in Hillsborough to discuss ratifying the Constitution. That convention voted against ratification, on the grounds that the proposed Constitution lacked enough guardrails to protect individual liberty. In that spirit, I will be in Hillsborough today for No Kings.

Sepia-toned photo of a street musician with a guitar busking on the street. In front of him, a small girl in a dress has been caught in an ecstatic pose: head thrown back, arms up and spread wide, legs apart. The text on the photo reads "Hard times require furious dancing." Origin of the photo is unknown.

North Carolina Republicans just drew a map giving themselves 11 of 14 congressional seats in our 50/50 state. That’s 79% of the seats for one party.

That’s not representation — it’s a brazen attack on democracy and fair elections.

Loaded up the NYT front page just now and instantly thought this was ICE.

Had a great afternoon canvassing in Cary with @wakedems.bsky.social endorsed candidate Bella Huang and State Rep. Ya Liu.

Local elections matter — let’s make sure Wake County Democrats turn out strong this November. 💪🗳️

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s:

"I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”
Federal agents invaded even the offices of The Crisis and the National Association for the advancement of colored people and asked searching questions: " just what, after all, were our objects and activities?” I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, “We are seeking to have the constitution of the United states thoroughly and completely enforced.” It took some ingenuity, even for Southerners, to make treason out of that.
