Amazing work today, everyone! Today’s protest was a success—two MAGA individuals were arrested for assaulting peaceful protestors, and three additional investigations are currently underway. We’ve also launched a new task force to investigate any incidents.

My crankiest belief is that we are now being sold on solutions to problems which only exist because we've let others convince us they exist. That is what "innovation" seems to be in 2025.

There's a level of introspection that's just not happening these days re: what actually needs to bother us.

Let’s be very clear here. North Carolina Republicans are trying to:

*steal
*cheat
*disenfranchise
*lie

their way to a state Supreme Court seat they lost at the ballot box.

Stay focused on this; oppose their shameful actions and protect democracy.

There is a solution.
And it doesn't cost taxpayers one single additional dime.

Take the subsidies currently feeding fat cats in the fossil fuel industry and used them to build a new, cheaper, more efficient publicly owned grid, induction charging highways.

North Carolina Republicans care more about an illegitimate power grab than getting needed relief to hurricane victims in the state.

Truly shameful on many levels.

This is wild. Dems would have taken control of Congress 218-217 had we won 2022 North Carolina Supreme Court races. But instead, GOP won the NC Supreme Court and gerrymandered 3 Dem seats into completely non-existence. Instead R’s now control the house 220-215.
