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

“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/...

American higher education is collapsing before our eyes | Frederico Menino The once unsinkable ship of US higher education has hit an unthinkable iceberg

"Without a doubt, everyone – academics or not – should take an unequivocal stand against the US government offensive on US universities."

North Carolina helps kids earn college degrees in high school. It’s a lifeline for immigrant families A community college program has been instrumental in helping Latinx students in the state access higher education, while educators fear they’ll become Trump’s next target

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.

axios, it's as if you dont understand the issue is DUE PROCESS, DO BETTER! Axios needs due process and the rule of law and the first amendment too. there is no both sides it's the constitution.

Are all these North Carolinians going to let #Boliek and Jefferson take away their vote? I don’t think so #nc #ncscotus #scotus @nbcnews.com @meetthepresses.bsky.social #ncpol #thisiswhatdemocracylookslike

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.

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...

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

Without the state Supreme Court’s intervention, State Auditor Dave Boliek would immediately be authorized to pick a new slate of board members, as terms for the current state election board members ends today. “I am prepared to take on the transfer,” Boliek said in a statement Tuesday. “I will appoint election board members who uphold the law and put their focus toward counting legal votes, efficient tabulation, and consistency across counties.”
