Local government has enormous power to regulate real estate. Let’s be clear: Accepting big real estate campaign money is incompatible with progressive local politics.
We need big real estate donations and schmoozing with big developers OUT of Durham local and state legislative politics.

If NC Republicans get away with this, this will open the floodgates for other Republican states to do this. Elections in America will become meaningless & we will no longer be a democracy. This is the highest stakes case we’ve seen since the Jim Crow era.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: the Republican-majority on the N.C. Court of Appeals rules to overturn the decision of the Wake County Superior Court (and the voters in the state) in a 2-1 decision to disenfranchise more than 65,000 voters from LAST year’s election. ⬇️

🚨 🚨 🚨 the North Carolina state court is going along with Jefferson Griffins request to disenfranchise tens of thousands of NC voters by throwing out their votes. And thereby hand the seat on the NC SCT to Griffin when Justice Allison Riggs won the election. This is a HUGE deal.

Two Republican judges on the North Carolina Court of Appeals just effectively overturned Justice Allison Riggs' victory over Jefferson Griffin by retroactively nullifying thousands of lawful votes. A massive and outrageous blow to democracy.
Story to come. The topline: If this holds, this would almost assuredly result in an overturned election, as Griffin trails by 734 votes and many of these contested ballots are disproportionately Democrats over Republicans. #ncpol

“The use cases for artificial intelligence across every domain of work and life have started to get silly really fast,” our columnist @tressiemcphd.bsky.social writes. “Most of us aren’t using A.I. to save lives faster and better. We are using A.I. to make mediocre improvements.”

A.I. is just what we need in the post-fact era: less research and more predicting what we want to hear.

A powerful statement: In today's editions of the Raleigh News & Observer and Charlotte Observer, a letter from 200+ members of North Carolina's legal community calling on Jefferson Griffin to end his baseless attempt to overturn the 2024 election. Read the letter: ccnc.me/LetterToGriffin
