It's been a minute since I even looked at bluesky. 3 months, looks like. Since then I've moved to a different, redder, part of the state, but I couldn't be happier

What in the world?
BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

I always watch the SOTU (or the equivalent like tonight's speech). Doesn't matter who's in office. I think it's important to know what they say. I keep my sanity by watching it on #msnbc and hearing @maddow.msnbc.com and her team's commentary.

🇺🇸🇺🇦President Zelenskyy has long shown deep appreciation for the United States. He always said Thank you! And he was never disrespected. We know, you know too. Trump-Vance must watch this.

Congratulations to @abreezeclayton.bsky.social upon her decisive re-election as Chair of the @ncdemocrats.bsky.social! Continue leading the way!
Nearly 2 years ago @abreezeclayton.bsky.social was elected Chair of the @ncdemocrats.bsky.social. Since, she helped raise over $16 million, ran candidates in many districts in NC, built a strong organizing team & created a state party that’s worth investing in & prioritized people. #support her!

Not good news. But the fight continues. NC is the canary in the coal mine here. Straight up voter repression.
🚨🚨 Big news🚨🚨
This means that if the NC Supreme Court deadlocks 3-3, the Court of Appeals ruling will stand - and that's very likely to break for Jefferson Griffin & @NCGOP's bid to overturn & reverse the election they lost.
This thing is going federal.

NC Supreme Court declines to fast-track Republican challenge of 65,000 votes
The case will instead go to the North Carolina Court of Appeals, where Griffin currently sits as a judge. He told The N&O he won’t participate in his own case.

This is worth listening to. Yes. It is 4 hours long. But there are timestamps for each state so you can pick what you want to listen to. Of course I know how to say Appalachia. The correct way. 🍎at cha.
In case you missed it - and need a timeline cleanse - we published a compilation of over 1,500 accents from across the Appalachian region last week. We think you’ll like it 😊
