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:
“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.

CHARLOTTE Closed 1st time in 28 yrs

“The amount of fear that we have right now is no good,” Betancur told CharlotteFive outside Manolo’s Baker, in the heart of Charlotte’s immigrant community.

“We need to protect our families and family separation.”

I don’t fucking care if Democrats are in the Epstein Files. Release all! This egregious, grotesque, power-high game of chess is getting thrown down like the house of cards. Ps: fuck off with those ridiculous, cheap, fake gold-painted Hobby Lobby ornaments and stick them up your ass. Happy Saturday!

It's ONLY been 65 years since six year old Ruby Bridges walked through the halls of William Frantz Elementary as the first Black child to attend an all white school. Met with mobs and hate, her bravery and courage helped change the course of history for this nation.

So I have this big, frumpish Trumper near me that proudly displays his 2024 Trump flag hung on a pole so it flys vertically. Today, the flag was rolled up around its pole intentionally. Has the ‘FO’ started?!

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

This is what oligarchy looks like:

If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break.

If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry.

Obscene.

Hundreds of people packed the Hillsboro City Council auditorium to decry the escalation in immigration enforcement in the community, following weeks of reports of federal agents in unmarked vehicles detaining residents and dragging people out of cars.
