All I can think of is Jimmy Carter selling his peanut farm, and this guy and his family are grifting the presidency for all its worth.

It's the writing at the end of it. It's eerily familiar of Nazi calligraphy-style text used in the worst of their propaganda movies and posters.

Even though I don't live in TN, Phil is a valuable resource on how Christian Nationalism is literally attempting to take over the country - and it's especially important that he's covering this in rural areas.

The last time I checked, deliberately targeting journalists is a war crime.

Report reveals NC teachers rank 2nd nationwide for out-of-pocket spending on classroom supplies A new study revealed teachers in North Carolina spend out-of-pocket an average of $1,600 annually on school supplies.

I'm overwhelmed with disgust when I think about our state legislature. After Texas, it might be the most corrupt and heartless govt in our nation. #NCPol

The Trump Administration Is Promoting Its Anti-Trans Agenda Globally at the United Nations U.S. delegates have objected to use of the word โ€œgenderโ€ in U.N. documents during forums on topics as varied as womenโ€™s rights, science and technology, global health, toxic pollution and chemicalโ€ฆ

During several speeches before the U.N., U.S. delegates have denounced so-called โ€œgender ideologyโ€ or pushed for language that โ€œrecognizes women are biologically female and men are biologically male," which leaves no room for the existence of intersex, transgender and nonbinary people.

I read thru it all. I found myself nodding the entire time, because we are dealing with the same ๐Ÿ’ฉ down here in NC.

A great series of skeets on Pete Hegseth, Peter Thiel, Doug Wilson, et al regarding Christian โ€œTechbroโ€ Nationalism. Hegseth attends Wilsonโ€™s church. Among other things, Wilson advocates for repealing the 19th Amendment and no separation between church and state.

JFC. I donโ€™t know what my dad wouldโ€™ve done if he was told he couldnโ€™t buy feminine products with 2 daughters and my mom. I also remember that it was generally men who stocked the sanitary product aisle in the grocery store I worked in as a teenager.

That, the cult of celebrity, and religious nationalism.

After a day and a half of soaking rain, itโ€™s great to see the sun out. While taking the dogs on a break, I managed to get a couple of photos of a sleepy orange butterfly with wings fully extended & closed. #nature #photography #butterflies #naturephotography #franklincountync

Itโ€™s disgusting, and you know it was swept under the rug because his equally loathsome wife Lisa is in the NC Senate. She reps me, and I find their whole operation to be corrupt.

The White House needs to keep their politics out of science. With this proposed oversight restructuring, the NIH will fully be a propaganda arm for politicians who need to siphon off factual information to justify their biased & inaccurate views. US science is being politicized before our very eyes.

We live in an incredibly cruel timeline, and if we manage to get these criminals out, the amount of purging that will need to happen may take years. This is awful, petty, and just plain mean spirited.

Mar-a-largo the White House and insert some misogyny there while heโ€™s at it. Ugh.

Itโ€™s that Louis XIV, Versailles chic (or so he thinks). Instead itโ€™s just Temu gauche.

The man is a stone cold idiot who needs to put in a padded room somewhere. The anti-science BS he's spouting makes my head spin.

A sandblaster would be more appropriate. How gauche.

"This fight is not just about campuses, it's not just about HBCUs. It's about our collective future." Our Miles Beasley of Common Cause NC spoke powerfully at the People for Democracy rally about the need to protect HBCUs against Trump's cruel funding cuts.

We're seeing it up here in Raleigh-Durham as well. Three restaurants have announced their closings in downtown Raleigh within the past week alone.

Those of us whoโ€™ve been watching knew that this would be the next step. He has no plans on leaving, and we have a corrupt GOP thatโ€™s willing to go the distance. Voter apathy, Fourth Estate access journalism, the oligarchs, and a culture of celebrity worship are symptoms.
