Yesterday, I held a music festival in my district to register voters and speak directly to young people who don’t usually attend political events. 4,500 tickets. Music + advocacy go hand in hand. Madsoul Festival 2025 was a success.

This really is grotesque: they went through years-long citizenship processes and are now being denied simply because if the country they are from. It’s formalized bigotry.

Multiple sources have confirmed that ICE/Border Patrol is headed back to the Raleigh and Durham areas for undefined deportation actions. We've heard 50 ICE agents, charter flights and hotels booked for all of them in the Raleigh area.

If you think women here can't be forced backwards...
These are women in Parliament in Iran in the mid-1970's.
Their decline feels familiar.
A reaction to women having too many rights.
A fear of what was happening to traditional family.
A desire for younger wives.
A closing of the fist.

Literally stealing food out of peoples’ mouths.
FLAG: The Trump admin has told states to "immediately undo" any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families for the month of November — threatening financial penalties if they do not comply.

When you feel scared to show up to a protest in SC… look at Kendra in WV! If she can do it in red WV… we can too!
Kendra rules!

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

We’ve known for forever that they don’t think gendered violence is a really serious thing but it’s still wild to hear them say it so plainly.
Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?
JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

About 8-9 ICE agents
All to abuse and arrest a 15 year old girl; even forcing a knee onto her neck
America-under Donald Trump-has become an authoritarian state

Eroding-then ignoring-the rule of law

ICE Arrested 19 People, Then Killed Them In Custody
Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office.
ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.
