Having the World Cup and Olympics here under the Trump regime is really a recipe for disaster.
Again: why would any player or fan come here under these circumstances? Especially non-white people?
Expect more of this👇🏽

Duke Energy, North Carolina's monopoly electricity utility, is one of the biggest players in our state's politics. They are consistently the #1 or #2 spender on lobbying in our state legislature.

Churches need to step up and help people. Especially the mega churches that have millions of dollars. They need to be helping more.

Last night, 21 of Carolina Forward's 28 endorsees for municipal office won their elections across North Carolina!
More recaps to come on the blog. But last night, there was a loud and clear shout for political change all across our nation. Let's be a part of it.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

After an emergency, make sure food is safe.
If food smells bad or looks different (for example, slimy or mouldy), it is not safe for human consumption.

More than 660,000 North Carolinians are projected to lose their healthcare coverage under the Trump GOP's "One Big" federal budget, which Congress passed earlier this year. The bill effectively kills North Carolina's historic Medicaid expansion, which just passed in 2023.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
