When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Legal conundrum: I believe I continue to serve as a NC county elections board member until a new board is sworn in July 22nd. State board staff tell county staff service ended June 24th, never notifying me, and conflicting with NCGS 128-7, affirmed by NC Supreme Court 2010.

‘Tears My Heart to Pieces’: North Carolina Braces for Medicaid Cuts

Trump’s domestic policy law jeopardizes plans to reopen one rural county’s hospital — and health coverage for hundreds of thousands of state residents.

Wow. So, even if he was Christian, I thought that was a good thing and he wouldn’t have vetoed it. I’m so confused. 😵‍💫
This is why I’m not on Facebook anymore.

Freedom from kings.
Freedom from fascism.
Power to the people forever. ♥️

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

In other words, defund Social Security guaranteeing that my children will not receive it and possibly even I will get limited benefits 7 years from now. Good job.
Apparently this political email was sent to everyone with a Social Security number.

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

This is possibly a good thing. Let’s make sure everyone’s voter registration is in perfect shape and make sure every registered voter has acceptable voter ID. The NCDP needs to be making sure this happens.

TOMORROW JUNE 17th! We have added this evening protest specifically for Medicaid in front of Thom Tillis's office! Details in the flyer below!

“Democrats have to do what Trump did: create a new party identity, come up with a clear answer to the question: What is the central problem of our time? Come up with a new grand narrative.” 2/2

“If you’re thinking the Democrats’ job now is to come up with some new policies that appeal to the working class, you are thinking too small. This is not about policies.” 1/2

One simple trick to fix the Democratic Party ...does not exist!

Why my reaction to so much of the stuff floating out there to "fix the Democratic Party" is simply LOL LOL LOL.

Episcopal Church refuses to resettle white Afrikaners, citing moral opposition The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.

Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.

Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

What’s wrong with the Democratic Party is what these pathetic idiots are posting. No leadership, no fight, no articulated values or principles. If you’re not defending the Constitution, what are you even doing?

I think it’s much less “smug, self-assured bullshit” he’s referring to and more absolute terror.
