Yesterday was the post-CBP invasion call with Siembra NC. It was announced that CBP was coming the Charlotte on Nov. 14th. In the days that followed, 4500 people showed up for online training and in JUST 4 DAYS, 1500 people got in-person verifier training in the Triangle alone.
We're going to win.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

The folks here in North Carolina are PISSED.
We've got cruel cowards who love what is happening but they're cheering from the comfort of their couches or stupidly oversized trucks. The folks actually in the streets are the ones who are opposed to ICE & CBP. And we outnumber the fuckers. By a lot.

At the same time? I have NEVER seen the Overton Window shift so far away from supporting ICE or similar agencies. Not even during the height of the family separation policy or the Muslim travel ban.
The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice.

This is pretty amazing. This guy just won a solid victory in Bucks County, PA, one of the most important swing counties in the country, by *explicitly and deliberately* making his race *all about* nationalizing ICE raids. Confirms the point about this now being a winning issue for Dems.

A good reminder that these fuckfaces are softer than newborn baby shit, the lot of them. They were driven out of Raleigh, Durham, etc. after 2 days of concerted community opposition. And Charlotte will be just as ready for them.

Durham public schools absolutely *teeming* this morning with parents, grandparents, and community members making students feel welcome and safe and saying Fuck ICE.
I do not regret to inform you that North Carolina is getting into #formation. We're going to make ICE regret coming south like a bunch of weak-skinned retirees.
All of our existing civic and activist networks are lighting up. This is what we build community for. We protect us.

The rapid, grassroots response my community demonstrated for our neighbors is why we're going to win. My patrol area was relatively small but there were a couple dozen folks who showed up in the middle of the day on Tuesday to keep others safe.
Tonight, as the sun set in Durham, while hundreds more joined patrols in Charlotte, courageous local officials, people of faith, and community leaders gathered to say: Enough is enough.

In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.
“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

Asheville is THE crunchiest hippie city in North Carolina. There was a huge chickenpox outbreak at a local private school in 2019 because 72% of the students were unvaccinated. And the Asheville airport is not a huge regional hub, so this was probably a local calling him this. IN FUCKING ASHEVILLE.
OMG! I just got off the plane in Asheville and RFK Jr. Was boarding and someone passed by him and said “quack”

Charlotte is a boring, gentrified city built around the banking sector that has gotten increasingly more safe as long as I have been alive. It doesn't even have the biggest immigrant population in N.C.
But it does have a Black Democrat mayor and congressional representative! What a coincidence.

Men who treat their women colleagues like normal human beings get most of the benefits of being included in the sisterhood while not really having to give up any of their male privilege.
It's like a fucking cheat code and you're still lucky if 20% of the dudes in a given workplace will use it.

the women in the workplace discourse is very funny because a man who can act normal in an office environment that's predominantly female is absolutely on easy street. it's maybe the best gig anyone in history has had. and yet for many guys it is utterly impossible

This is why neutral legal language is not necessarily positive. Because the original purpose of the Equal Treatment Rule was to prevent grocery retailers from charging SNAP customers MORE for similar items than they would charge to cash paying customers.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Somewhere in the world, a couple just had a baby they'd been praying for. Somewhere in the world, a person found out their cancer is in remission. Somewhere in the world, two people are going out on a 1st date that eventually results in a happy marriage.
Remember that there is still good out there.
