Bistate Observations

Gays in Chicago, if you're out and about tonite in BoysTown, keep an eye out for a creepy right wing YouTuber and do not engage

I disagree with Braxton Winston, Jennifer Roberts, John Autry, Renee Garner, Robert Dawkins, and Reverend William Barber on this. Charlotte needs this and so does the Metro Charlotte region. Other places like Atlanta failed to live up to the standard of providing mobility for all & look at them.

Mecklenburg County residents to vote on 1% sales tax increase: What to know Here’s how the proposed sales tax increase would affect you.

www.wbtv.com/2025/08/11/m...

These are the facts. It's 1% on non-essential items, i.e., prepared foods at restaurants, not your groceries nor essential medicine or prescription medications.

This moron screwed up the 2020 US Census yet saying someone else aside from his stupid, big back ass didn't oversee the one conducted then. The gall of it all

Quiet Forms of Self-Neglect:
• Never saying "no"
• Re-wearing dirty clothes
• Delaying doctor visits
• Avoiding daily hygiene
• Skipping medications
• Letting mess build up
• Avoiding friends and family
• Overworking without breaks
• Forgetting to eat meals

Real Talk: North Carolina Dems needs to engage black Charlotte The NCDP has failed to engage the rapidly expanding base of black voters in Metro Charlotte and it has cost them every election since 2010.

It's time we have an honest conversation about why #ncdp needs to put more emphasis on Metro Charlotte growing black population to save NC from NCGOP destruction. #blackvoters #voting #northcarolina #charlottenc #civicengagment

Malcolm Kenyatta, who is a young black queer male, elected again as a DNC vice-chair. We need both more young, black, & LGBTQ representation in the DNC leadership to turn this ship around for 2026. This is a strong start. Now it's time for us all to move on. #blacksky

People need to realize that BlueSky is what you make of it. It's not a social media trend but, rather an evolution of social media. I'm here it

Doesn't Grenell know people don't like self-hating individuals?

@msignorile.bsky.social Jeff from Chicago called into Clay Cane's show yesterday as well on the SiriusXM UrbanView channel was defending racism and the confederacy

Another consequence of so many voting-eligible US citizens showing dereliction of their civic duties is voting, and others who voted for Trash Dump or 3rd party clowns who wanted this mess

I'm glad Illinois Governor Pritzker got that goofy ass low rent heifer together. She is such a 🤡

Yes ma'am! Those dufuses shouldn't have ever let him purchase Metromedia-owned TV stations, which laid the foundation of the Fox Broadcasting Company.

@claycane.bsky.social organizers of those 06/14 protests are intentionally leaving out Washington DC. The main one is advertised to be in Philadelphia.

Another example (along with the LA Times) of why oligarchs should never own mass media publications like newspapers.

Tim Moore has only been in the US House for only 5 months. He stole the seat from Jeff Jackson after illegally gerrymandering the seat away from Charlotte in 2023. He was in the NC House for over a decade not US Congress.

I guess this is "their" way of getting back at us by starting this "banning fluoride" movement.

@reeciecolbert.bsky.social

Can you post a YouTube/IG video of your explanation of Maryland's Governor Wes Moore's veto of the reparations study? We need to hear the logic and position about this.

Along with issues affecting your local area(s) and region. This is how we get more knowledgeable and involved.

If you're in survival or funds are tight mode the local public library is free with computers, books, the internet, and widely available resources to expand our knowledge for us all.

Here's what we all must do... engage in intellectual curiosity, make time to learn something new daily, and be open to reading an actual book either via hardcopy, PDF version, or online interface version via app/browser on local (neighborhood, community, and municipal) and state-level government.

We need more basic civics education in this nation. We have whole adults who are clueless about basic civics. Yet, incredulously pretend like there is nothing they can do to change our neighborhoods, communities, municipalities (townships, villages, towns, cities), counties, & states for the better.

Not surprised. However, a lot of misfittery has occurred in the City of St. Louis in the past couple months that has me SMH. All I'm going to say is Wesley Bell, and Cara Spencer...

The election director in North Carolina, a key swing state, is ousted after a Republican power play North Carolina's elections board has ousted the agency’s executive director after Republicans gained control.

A new bait-and-switch. North Carolina is once again the new battleground for political swing state for GOP antics

North Carolina's elections board has ousted the agency’s executive director after Republicans gained control.

Moves have been made to remedy this in the past few weeks, with the removal of said chair, and movements to organize all the majority black voting precincts.

Mecklenburg County Democrats Chair Fights For Another Term Devastated by Kamala Harris’ loss and divided by accusations of racism, Mecklenburg Democrats are in a bruising battle.

@claycane.bsky.social

Ameshia Cross is not accurate. North Carolina is still on the table for Democrats.

You might want to read this. Charlotte’s home county, Mecklenburg County, rapidly growing black population, is why NC didn't go blue in 2024.
