I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.
ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.
We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:
“When the 8 African American sheriffs took over the largest counties in North Carolina, it became a threat to the good ol’ boy system,” says the sheriff of Charlotte. These new sheriffs broke ties with ICE.
But GOP lawmakers cracked down this week, overbidding the governor’s veto to adopt this law:

North Carolina GOP Is Cracking Down on the Black Sheriffs Who Stood Up to ICE
Boosted by new supermajorities, Republicans are closing in on legislation to mandate more collaboration with ICE and preempt local policies hard-won by immigrants’ rights advocates.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures
It was announced on October 16, 2025 that VIBE was "joining forces" with Rolling Stone. As a result, the majority of VIBE employees were laid off. If you have the means to give, this team could use the support! www.gofundme.com/f/support-vi...

I refuse to watch 47 talk on camera if I can help it in anyway and this is why.
When he lost in 2020 I was so relieved to not have that man reminding me how ignorant America is every day, and I still refuse to subject myself to it in real time.

And people are focused on the midterms while they're actively trying to get rid of the voting rights act of 1960 now
Even with focus on midterms: the immediate goal is triage - stop the bleed. THEN treat and heal.

Nikole Hannah-Jones wrote a piece about the fact that he dismantled 60 years of legislative achievement in 9 months.
It’s going to take, not months, not years, not decades, but GENERATIONS to rebuild, restore, and evolve.
I’m not sure if this Veruca Salt-ass populace has the stomach for that.

The hard part, it feels like, is getting people our age to see that we may not see all the progress in undoing this mess. Selflessness is not exactly an American trait.

I hope people understand that we're far past just setting shit 47 has knocked over back upright. This will be rebuilding: NEW legislation, new institutional knowledge, new case law even. This will take decades. Not 4 years, not 8.
Once he IS GONE, it will take a while but we will have a semblance of normalcy again. Kind of like what happened after he left the 1st time. But this time hopefully things will be put in place so we do not Ever go through this nightmare again.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

The three cueing system also ISN'T LOGICAL, because if you're teaching kids to look at the first letter of a word + photos + context and not LEARN the word itself, what happens as they progress to books without pictures?
