"DEI" is not a bad word. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamentally American – a reflection of who we actually are.
After centuries of erasure, we've seen progress in representation in recent years, and I don’t want to go back.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

NC has introduced House Bill 66. This bill will reduce the early voting period in North Carolina from 3 weeks to 6 days. It would eliminate Sunday voting, and leave only one weekend day. It would also impact same day registration.
