Today marked Day One of Customs and Border Patrol’s Charlotte Operation. And as we’ve come to expect from these operations, federal agents targeted workers throughout Charlotte and the surrounding areas.

Dems who voted for/signed "Iryna's Law" helped validate the false premise that Charlotte has a crime problem in need of a more brutal approach. That false premise greased the wheels for the federal terror campaign underway there now.

@jasonkirk.fyi I’m not predisposed to conspiracy theories, but I find it curious that Pat Harrigan chose a time when the place to host Bahamas bowl is up in the air to denigrate Charlotte as being a wasteland of gang violence. If they end up playing the Bahamas bowl in Winston-Salem . . . 🤨

Low key, anytime someone says “low key” in a sentence you can take it out and not change the meaning of the sentence at all.

“By narrowing who counts, what knowledge survives, & whose voices are heard, it strikes at the very conditions of civic life. To dismantle universities is not simply to shutter classrooms or cut research; it is to strip away our collective memory of the past & narrow the horizons of the future.”
