NC is the original bathroom bill state. In 2016, we stood together against that hateful policy and rhetoric incl. politicians, the NBA, NCAA, artists and CEO's. This 2025 story will break your heart and reminds us how our cruelty, complicity and silence can kill.

I am struggling with what might be a generational experience. The gulf war was pretty politically formative for me. It’s not history so much as memory this time.
It is destabilizing to see almost the exact same gameplan but this time without the guardrails that at the time I took for granted.

In this segment, Senator Schmitt insists he knows nothing about a major scandal, goes on an extended rant filled with lies and smears, insults Stephanopolous and his show directly, and is generally a preening asshole.
Yet I’m sure they’ll welcome him back for more.

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights.
And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports.
People who can afford to charter flights will be fine. Everyone else is screwed.
