Exclusive: Woman detained by feds in Keys says she was following agents’ orders “This is not the America that I grew up in, and this is not the America that we represent.”

“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”

The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.

It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

Yeah. I’m pretty sure the graphic is correct and the text is wrong.

Pretty sure it is!

Why I'm Stoked on Carrboro's Downtown Area Plan plus a few longish notes on the process and philosophy behind it

Maybe you've heard about the Downtown Area Plan Carrboro is considering tomorrow night. I wrote some longish thoughts on why I think it's so important and some communityconversation behind it: dannynowell.substack.com/p/why-im-sto...

"[T]hat kind of experience makes some people want to preserve their cities in amber and makes others into fierce defenders of the ability of cities to absorb and protect other people who also need to remake themselves. They’ll all need someplace to live."

This is how I feel about Carrboro.

Today marked Day One of Customs and Border Patrol’s Charlotte Operation. And as we’ve come to expect from these operations, federal agents targeted workers throughout Charlotte and the surrounding areas.

As always, if you see something that you suspect could be an immigration enforcement action in progress, call our hotline at (336) 543-0353 or the hotline number in the About tab so we can verify and provide support.

This news makes me happy.

That ghastly whiteness it is which imparts such an abhorrent mildness, even more loathsome than terrific, to the dumb gloating

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

While we do not agree on all issues, I want to publicly thank UNC-CH Chancellor Lee Roberts for clearly stating today in Faculty Council that UNC cannot and will not sign Trump's Compact, because it raises irresolvable issues of academic freedom. That was important for faculty & students to hear.

It’s so great to see this @GoTriangle 400 bus from Chapel Hill to Durham completely full. #Transit for the win. 🏆

Election Night Proved Democrats Don’t Need to Abandon Trans People to Win Mamdani, Spanberger and other wins tell Dems: you don’t need to cave on transgender rights to win an election.

This week’s elections prove that when candidates focus on the issues that really matter to voters– like healthcare, education, and the climate crisis, rather than attacking transgender people; they win. From Virginia to New York– anti-trans hate is a losing issue.

Will probably still attend.

The Sleepy Session With North Carolina lawmakers not planning any more votes this year, GOP leadership has concluded a historically unproductive long session.

With no more votes expected in NC this year, Republicans will have gotten the least amount of things done in any long session since taking control of the General Assembly in 2011. My look at just how (un)productive the past 10 months have been--> #ncpol
