Polls hinting this madness has a limit, but none of that matters if we don’t actually stop him and his thugs from enacting authoritarian rule.
Find the disappeared, end these DEI purges, stop the raids & the tariffs, and most importantly - get this man out of office. We can still turn the tide.

Just got off a call and I’m concerned about the number of voters who requested their ballots by the April 7 deadline and did not receive their ballots in time to vote in the Mid City West Neighborhood Council election.
When we’re already dealing with low voter turnout, this is just a mess.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important:
He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

This local election is more important than one might think. The opposition is aligning themselves with MAGA influencers and there is a real threat that a new board will end important DEI efforts in this NC. (1/3)
