"So lets to speak to what this is, this is an attack on Black voters that goes back decades. The Gingles case had found lawmakers effectively and efficiently obstructed Black voters more than 40 years ago.. and yet we are doing the same thing today." Senator Smith #ncpol

Ya know, I keep thinking about how back in the early days of Trump’s second term, and how he kept “joking” about going to look for the Gold in Fort Knox with his buddy Elon.

These M Frs right here. If there was no Gerrymandering,NC would be a much bluer shade of purple.

I just keep thinking about all the recent earthquakes in Kamchatka and Alaska.

I consider it encouraging that the republicans think they have to gerrymander Texas even further. They seem to think there will be elections in 2026 and that they’ll likely lose the congress. Silver lining?

Gov. Cooper helped get rid of the "bathroom ban" in NC and other progressive policies. He's the best NC has to offer for this period in time, let's allow him his religious views without comment or concern. He's not going to use his religious beliefs to hurt people, unlike too many others.
I see some idiots are trashing @roycoopernc.bsky.social because he said he (gasp!) prayed before deciding to run for U.S. Senate in North Carolina.

My response to this is to chip in a few bucks to him.

I watched the new South Park. I haven’t watched one in years. While, I’m fairly certain that I did not laugh once, I am really glad they made it. Poignant, scathing satire? Yes! Funny? to me, not so much.

My thoughts exactly. Hardly controversial. It’s odd that MAGA doesn’t think that’s making American great.
If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…

Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

i’m growing some different tomatoes this year. These are Candyland. I really don’t love em. They’re small and the skins are thick. I’m poaching them in olive oil with herbs and garlic to see if something delicious happens.

Things are about to get very dark,
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

AOC: This bill is a deal with the devil. It explodes our national debt. It militarizes our entire economy. It strips away health care and basic dignity of the American people for what? To give Elon Musk a tax break.. We cannot stand for it. And we will not support it. You should be ashamed

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."
