There was so much fear this week in NC. I’m moved by all the ways we came together and talked to our neighbors, gathered in solidarity and made sure folks had basic needs covered.

StubHub is a scam. If the event is rescheduled and you can no longer attend— no refunds. You have to take on reselling the tickets. And that function is currently not working. 😐

My latest piece, written for the Kettering Foundation.
I urge organizations, nonprofits, and companies to end the cycle of over compliance with Trump threats, and show how doing so ushers in fascism.
Some lessons from what we have seen in the trans community.

Bombshell in North Carolina: the state's GOP-dominated Court of Appeals just sided with the GOP candidate in last year's supreme court race.
Their decision would toss roughly 60,000 ballots (!) that have been counted, & likely hand the election to GOP instead of incumbent Dem Justice who won it.

Same goes for edicts issued by tweet or whatever they're called over on the site he's on
Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.
