covered 50 mile march from Wilson to Raleigh, NC with Rev. Barber to protest GOP scheme at Trump’s direction to gerrymander out of existence the 1st CD, an historically Black district that’s 48% white.

“It’s the prophetic imagination that’s been lost, even in our politics…
This is the season where people want to know:
What will your vision be?”

By hanging this banner, the DOJ is making it explicitly clear that, above all, it now exists to carry out the petty grievances of one man.

This is not normal.

CNN reports: The VA is halting enforcement of a new rule for determining disability payments after veterans across the US expressed outrage for what they said would likely reduce benefits for many. Every day the Trump junta finds another way to upend what we’ve come to rely on to survive.

Along @RevDrBarber @BRepairers Wilson to Raleigh, NC 3-day march, Cheryl Richardson bemoans Trump cuts to @HeadStartgov that will leave North Carolina “at the bottom of the totem pole for education. They keep snatching it away. Let us rise. Let us rise!”

@nynurses.bsky.social are striking to maintain post COVID staffing gains benefiting patients but the “non-profit” hospitals would rather pay CEOs tens of millions. And that’s who @governor.ny.gov helped by making it easier for them to replace striking nurses. Spare us the hollow union homage.

This is hard for me to write-Zohran's endorsement was premature and A MISTAKE especially in light of this: "As a historic nurses’ strike enters its 4th wk, NY Gov.Hochul has protected hospitals from the strike’s impact www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Frequently Asked Questions About the Concentration Camp Next Door You have questions about what’s happening in Chester and how it impacts our region. I have answers.

I’m curious:
What does @delgadoforny.bsky.social #GovernorVoice say about the ICE concentration camp slated for Chester, NY, merely a stone’s throw from a Shortline bus depot?

The Washington Post on X: "U.S. lawmakers moved to revive privateering, a practice banished since the age of sail, which will allow government-backed ships to target enemies. https://t.co/WERg5AXgS1" / X U.S. lawmakers moved to revive privateering, a practice banished since the age of sail, which will allow government-backed ships to target enemies. https://t.co/WERg5AXgS1

This WAPO article on Sen. Lee’s bill to revive privateering offers no insight into why it might be a bad idea to turn the high seas into even more of a wild Wild West.
