NC Court of Appeals gives over 60,000 challenged voters 15 days to prove eligibility The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

If you are an NC resident and voted in November, please check if your name or the names of any family areone of the 60K votes being challenged. If so, confirm ASAP with your Board of Elections. You only have two weeks.

The website to check linked in the reply.

Hands Off! Doylestown Fights Back Β· Hands Off While we know a lot of people are attending rallies in Philadelphia, DC, and other major cities, we are providing a space for a local event for people who can't make that trip. Join us on Saturday, April 5th, for a day of action. We'll be at the corner of Court & Main Streets in Doylestown from 3-5pm. Bring signs! Bring your voices! **Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them.** We are fighting back! They're taking everything they can get their hands onβ€”our health care, our data, our jobs, our servicesβ€”and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now. 🚨 **On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!** 🚨 This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country. A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Check out handsoff2025.com for more information.

Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check.

What I’m saying is we can go harder.

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

A graphic with the statement:

Two years ago on the Ohio-Pennsylvania border, we saw what happens when communities like Darlington Township, Pennsylvania and East Palestine, Ohio are overlooked by leaders in Washington and corporate executives.

The Norfolk Southern train derailment was an absolute tragedyβ€”one that we could have prevented.

As a result, I co-led the Railway Safety Act to hold corporations accountable and make sure another disaster like that one never happens again.

I plan to reintroduce that same bipartisan, bicameral bill this Congress and finally deliver the overdue promise to never leaving communities behind.

USAID worked aggressively against apartheid South Africaβ€”in case you were wondering why apartheid clyde is so adamantly working to shut it down.

Also, an act of Congress enacted USAID and only an act of Congress can undo its existenceβ€”no matter how much megalomaniac billionaires wish otherwise.

A man jumping, under the words "Make Time For Joy"

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.
