Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

The thousands of volunteer editors who write, edit, and fact-check Wikipedia adhere remarkably well, over all, to one of its core values: the neutral point of view. But Elon Musk, like others on the right, insists the site is biased against conservatives.

DOGE claims to have saved $115 billion, but we can confirm this figure is overstated by 77.3%, meaning the actual savings amount to only $26.05 billion. To verify this, we had to rely on internal connections, as Musk has obscured details of these claims on DOGE despite promises of transparency.

THIS IS A NON-PARTISAN, TIME-SENSITIVE NATIONAL EMERGENCY.

In just two weeks, Trump and Musk have infiltrated our financial systems and are poised to decimate our programs to help the hungry and the poor and the elderly.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.
