The MAGA/Likud unholy alliance is just taking predictable advantage of the world order admin after admin, Court after Court, has confirmed.

Any worthy Dem presidential nominee must commit to the constitutional amendment necessary to right-size the imperial presidency.

See yall in the streets

And just like that, we’ve started another war in the Middle East. Democrats and Republicans are responsible for the decades-long, unconstitutional aggrandizement of Article II presidential power that allows this shit to happen, again and again, in clear violation of the congressional war powers. 🧵

thanksgiving

One of the leaders of this organization—a Chapter President and charter member for over a decade—is *current* Durham Police Lieutenant Sheldon Perkins. He is a Lieutenant in the Training Division. I @durhamnc.bsky.social @indyweek.bsky.social @theassemblync.bsky.social #ncpol

the best analysis you’ll see today.

love to all who rolled up sleeves with @ncdemocrats.bsky.social. From Graham to CLT to Wilson to Wilmington to Wake Forest to Hickory to Burlington to Holly Springs to Jackson- Lewis- and Farm-ville to Burlington, victories beyond all expectation. #ncpol

for the normalcy of a timely statement explaining what went wrong and what was being done to fix it…

A truly unhinged official statement tonight from @ncgop.bsky.social controlled NCBOE, doing nothing to account for today’s failure of the voter lookup tool, & so much to undermine further the professionalism and integrity of the office. #ncpol

North Carolinians are #blessed that @northcarolinagop.bsky.social has failed so virtuously, and on such high principle, to pass a budget, writes @ncgop.bsky.social operative Andrew Dunn.

May we all express our thanksgiving in this season of plenty for such committed public servants. #ncpol

Help us build a blue NC! Chip in to power year-round organizing

Wins are built in the “off” months: recruiting candidates, training volunteers, and running our Voter Assistance Hotline.

We’re pushing to hit our end-of-quarter goal so we can scale that work in every county.

Last night’s Unity Dinner was beautiful. I am proud to be a Jewish American. I am proud to be a member of a Party that seeks to live its commitments to open debate at the heart of liberal democracy, even when doing so is difficult or painful.

Tikkun olam. #ncpol

Our rich, millennia-old Jewish tradition teaches better.”

(3) makes Palestinians-Americans less safe; (4) feeds into the most dangerous of fascist, white nationalist MAGA narratives; and (5) is not Democratic.

Illiberally weaponizing the definitions of anti-Semitism in this way, against the backdrop of the crisis of real, rising anti-Semitism, (1) is nothing new; (2) does nothing to make Jews more safe;

“I am a Jew. As a Jewish leader of our NC Dems, I will not shut down criticism of the Israeli government and its conduct in its wars (or criticism of any government’s conduct in its wars, for that matter), or allow any one else to shut it down by equating this criticism to anti-Semitism.

I provided further comment, though, as the Jewish First Vice Chair of our Party. The Jewish Insider editorial staff refused to print my comment, ostensibly bc my voice is not a Jewish voice they want to platform. Here it is. I saved for sharing until the other side of our sold-out NCDP Unity Dinner:

Still, I and we scrambled to respond. We stated, as a Party, that we unequivocally condemn Anti-Semitism, which we do and always will do.

The pressure to do so was immense.

They wanted a response to the NC-based leader of DMFI who’d decided to go on record to effectively call me a self-hating Jew for refusing to intervene in our Party’s dem process & prevent the resolution from being considered (a power I neither have nor would exercise if I did).

They did so a day before our Party meeting, a Friday afternoon, and an hour (if not minutes) before their editorial staff went out-of-pocket for Shabbat observance, at the same time making it very clear that they intended to publish immediately.

This post is going be more personal than my usual fare here, but I don’t really care.

A few weeks ago, Jewish Insider reached out to some North Carolina Democratic Party leadership for comment on an Israel weapons embargo resolution pending before our 500+ member body. 🧵…

From a real agency of the real United States government now run by real totalitarian bootlickers of the modern MAGA GOP.

And we’re at war with Iran.

Our country should have nothing more to do with Bibi’s authoritarian war machine.

Truly a shameful day for our country in a succession of shameful days.
