DM me if you're interested

No fine/penalty will suffice
People are being victimized by cruel, malicious, evil groups
The money MUST be returned to people, not into the legal limbo of some random coffers
Get it all back and create the needed systems to live, in liberty, and pursuing happiness, as called for in the Constitution

Reminder: Today is National Espresso Day. A tribute to the delicious treat that makes us alert and happy. However, Starbucks employees still need our help! Their strike is ongoing and needs broader support. The company says they are not feeling an impact. We can do better! So enjoy an espresso, /1

Emphasizing that "land doesn't vote," it occurs to me:
If it did, not only would we never have to hear "drill, baby, drill" from natural resource exploiting robber barons
It's likely that polluting, anti-conservation, climate change denialist BS would be a capital offense

Yet another example of how NC is *not* the #RedState it's portrayed as
Like the country as a whole, it may look red on a map, but land doesn't vote; people do
Gerrymandering has stolen the people's voice in elections, but not in the streets
✊
Keep fighting for what's right, NC!

The scope of the cruelty is breathtaking. The possibility of disruption is massive. And I cannot stress this enough - the cruelty is the point. There is NO REASON to do any of this except because you hate vulnerable people and crave inhumane control of suffering people. I'm just nauseated.

Folks, I know everything is on fire right now, but when I tell you that the HUD funding changes are going to kill people, I mean it literally. I've been doing this work for almost 20 years and this is going to create a crisis on par with Covid. At minimum, 170,000 ppl are going to be homeless.

Of course, here in NC, where they are so cocksure of their control of the General Assembly, they just pushed through The How About Race-based Districts Remapping Act 2025 with their full chests
I'm not sure what would make anyone think that the maps are racially biased
Maybe it's the bill they passed to redraw them:
