“If the founding history of this country is any guide,” said Judge Howell, “those who stood up in court to vindicate constitutional rights &, by so doing, served to promote the rule of law, will be the models lauded when this period of American history is written.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...
Look to the Judges
While Trump despicably denies his duty to uphold the Constitution, let's take strength from judges who oppose his regime's illegal actions

Since 2011, the free, statewide community college program Career and College Promise has been improving lives by helping Latinx students in NC access higher education.

Educators fear it may fall victim to President Trump's anti-immigrant vision. #nced #ncpol

What an embarrassment. It’s wild that the official position of the US Government is now pro-Nazi.

Democratic governor powers transferred to Republican auditor:

David Boliek: Main Office
325 N. Salisbury St.
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699
Phone: (919) 807-7500
The only plausible explanation is to permit the Republican State Auditor to appoint a new State Board of Elections that will try to overturn the results of the Supreme Court race.

A North Carolina appeals court has *greenlit* the GOP law that would switch control of state and county election boards in the state to the Republican Party. (This reverses a lower court ruling.) www.courthousenews.com/north-caroli...
North Carolina court grants control of elections board to state auditor
The North Carolina governor has appointed members to the state board of elections for over a century. Unless the state Supreme Court intervenes, that may change.

NC Court of Appeals just ruled that it was A-OK to take the appointment power over the NC Board of Elections from the Gov & give it to the Auditor (📰 ⬇️)

The Gov has had this power for a long time. How long, you ask? The passage pasted below is from 1947. #ncpol
