Did a lil raw milk Q&A.
"But they use raw milk in Europe and it's fine! Because they're clean artisanal dairies, not the factory farms we have here!"
Nah... Europe still has outbreaks from raw milk *all the time.* At least two big ones in the last year alone.

She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse.
ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.

I guess the NCDP’s check got lost in the mail! Since they’re all “bi-partisan” and everything. Or was this check used to buy the energy rate hikes the legislature just passed onto every NC consumer???

Food, medicine, & other supplies are piling up at the border.
Why? They don't belong to GHF- the one nonprofit allowed to bring supplies in.
And GHF's approach is somewhere between "incompetent" & "wow this seems custom-built to get people killed."

We have to win more seats. All it takes is one turncoat to override Josh Stein veto. Primary time.
Immigration veto overruled by NC Republicans with a Charlotte Democrat's help
Gov. Josh Stein called the legislation "unconstitutional" because it directs sheriffs to hold people for ICE 48 hours beyond when they'd otherwise be released.

The Big Ugly Bill is going to negatively affect the funding of North Carolina. Combined with Republicans in the NCGA wanting to cut taxes for corporations until they are 0%, the State is in a worrying financial situation.

Couple more farm facts!
ICE has been doing a lot of raids in Oxnard, Camarillo, & the general Ventura Co area in CA.
Not sure why they're focusing on this area, but Ventura Co is the first ring of farmland on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Maybe just conveniently located.
