Been a long time since you’ve been able to heckle Reid at the beach.
Ok so I’ve decided that Schooner can only play release shows or on the beach now.
Original lineup (KJ/RJ/Billy/Tripp w/ Nathan) at The Sandspur (Carolina Beach) on 6/7, again w/ our longtime buds Summer Set bc what the hell, three in a row’s a winning streak.

Bring the fam & your bathing suit.

Once again Dems are forced to accept that winning a majority of votes isn’t nearly enough. Republicans on the NC Appeals Court just proved they're perfectly willing to change voting rules long after election day to ensure that D votes are never enough. #ncpol

If you are an NC resident and voted in November, please check if your name or the names of any family areone of the 60K votes being challenged. If so, confirm ASAP with your Board of Elections. You only have two weeks.

The website to check linked in the reply.

NC Court of Appeals gives over 60,000 challenged voters 15 days to prove eligibility
The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

Notes on fascism vs oligarchy, which are cousins, but we should probably refine our messaging on, then make it palatable for non-educated folks.

Ah yes, an unchecked oligarch “deleting” (wtf does that even mean?) popular programs that actually help people.

Everything that benefits the public is on the cutting block.
Elon Musk is now bragging about getting rid of the team that put together the 'Direct File' tax filing system, which allows citizens to easily file their taxes for free.

Direct File is a big target of the for-profit tax prep industry including corporations like Intuit and H&R Block.
