Mitchell County, NC residents were told recently they "should thank their legislators for" approving:
$625 mil in private school vouchers
$500 mil in Helene recovery funds
Mitchell residents responded that they only have ONE private school in the county - and that these income limits are ridiculous

This incident follows a recent call about a school shooting that was found to be a hoax (someone in California was arrested), as well as real wildfires.

01.02.2025 21:27 — 👍 2 🔁 2 💬 1 📌 0It is correct that evacuation orders were lifted at 8 am this morning. I think it's been confusing for many that multiple fires have popped up in quick succession, around similar-sounding roads and towns, and it's hard to keep track of all of these different fires.
Keep an eye on North Fork.
⚠️ #NorthForkFire has grown to 200 acres, 20% contained ⚠️
This is along Hwy 221 in the Woodlawn area of McDowell County, north of Marion. This is separate from the #CrookedCreekFire and #GoodLoopFire.

There are multiple fires burning right now in a relative close area of #WNC, which may cause confusion -
The #CrookedCreekFire on Bat Cave Rd in Old Fort, NC, is spreading and causing evacuation notices. (See more below)
The #BatCaveFire is controlled and managed by multiple depts at this time.
Some #OldFort and #LakeLure residents have received notices to evacuate. Strong winds are contributing to the fire.
A temporary shelter has been established at First Baptist Church: 203 E Main Street, Old Fort, NC 28762
Pray for local residents 🙏

#ICE is now authorized to make arrests in in North Carolina in "places where disaster or emergency relief is provided."

Let yourself feel all of the emotions.
Then pick yourself up and keep moving.

Do not let people know your current location or your destination. Do not share it of others.
We can get through this. It is going to take teamwork. It is going to take strength and community. It is time to put the memes, petty squabbles, and grandstanding aside. You're in survival mode now.
[3/4]
Write down notes in a physical notebook. Document everything that is happening. Take screenshots and record videos.
Keep a go bag packed and ready to go at all times. Be familiar with multiple evacuation routes. Practice if you have to.
[2/4]
Research food pantries and other resources in your area. Get info out to the community. Ration meds best you can, make sure steroids are tapered off.
Research medicinal herbs and diets. There are legitimate scientific sources to help you navigate this; don't fall for everything you see online.

Yes. It was a Nazi salute, and calling it a dab or a stim or a reach or a stillshot taken out of context is not fooling anybody anymore.
Posted to raise awareness about public actions taken by a political figure during a rally. This man helps write the executive orders that #DonaldTrump signs.
Thank God 🙏 NO THREAT LOCATED at #McDowellHighSchool according to authorities, after a possible shooting was reported.

Facebook said they would restrict my account for 2 days with no explanation given at all. It was restricted for about 12. This was during the two weeks before the election.
I'm glad to be here instead.
Honored to be one of the first folks targeted by executive orders on Day One 🥳 I wasn't about to look to a bunch of repressed old rich men for validation just because someone else voted for them, hoping they'd lower taxes or egg prices. (As if these men have any clue what affordable egg prices are.)
21.01.2025 03:33 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I feel for the folks who lost income. But it's hard for me to determine how much of an impact it actually is, because in true social media form, so much is being exaggerated...
I heard a false rumor, 7 million Americans were making "full time incomes" off of Tiktok. Walmart employs 2.1 million.
No it's my eggo
20.01.2025 04:26 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Was it about 12 hours or so that #Tiktok was down? Because it took minutes for folks to seek out the largest #socialmedia networks they could, tried to immediately fill that void, and then became irritable and started lashing out when it still wasn't enough.
No joke, these are withdrawal symptoms.
#Tiktok boosts the hell your first video to give you thousands of views, gets you hooked quickly on that dopamine hit, makes you chase that feeling of "success" as you watch the numbers on your other videos go up. Now you're hooked.
I've never had the app. Just been watching ya'll over the years.
