I have been on this platform for over two years. I come and go. That bluebird app that morphed into a black/white letter was part of my daily routine until it just got gross.

Coming back b/c there are some voices I honestly miss. Wild times y'all!

Hey... can someone invite me to the Signal chat so I can be notified when Hegseth tells our military to drop a bomb on Iran and begins WW III?

Wait a second… Is Trump threatening a foreign leader? And is he also giving away military strategies by saying the US controls the airspace?

This man and his ego, all it does his fan his base and get people killed.

Pictures of two signs for No Kings protest. One says Tradition Since 1776 and a crown with a red X over it with No Kings Below. The other says U.S. Security Threats with pictures of Trump, Noem, and Hegseth. The other sides say No Kings and the other says No Kings, Fascists, Autocrats.

Ready in Durham #NoKings

This is absolutely disgusting. Shame on every single one of those "agents" that tried to steal... STEAL... kids at a school.

WTF? What country are we living in?

This is complete BS.... I am an adult and if my doctor and I think I should have a COVID booster, then that is up to my DR and I.

This whole party of "less gov't" sure has a great way of sticking their nose in where it doesn't belong while tossing out whole programs that benefit everyone.

Excellent piece

Helene’s Unheard Warnings As Hurricane Helene barreled toward Yancey County in North Carolina, communities along the Cane River in the Black Mountains were particularly vulnerable. But there were no evacuation orders, and few ...

Standing in awe of the @propublica.org team helmed by @jenniferberryhawes.bsky.social that pulled off this journalistic feat: a stunning narrative that painstakingly captures Helene’s tragedies and NC’s missed opportunities. www.propublica.org/article/hurr.... www.propublica.org/article/hurr...

Lord Buffalo Cancels European Tour After Drummer Detained by U.S. Border Patrol Lord Buffalo have been forced to cancel their planned European tour after U.S. Customs and Border Patrol detained their drummer, Yamal Said.

“We are heartbroken to announce we have to cancel our upcoming European tour,” wrote Texas psych-rockers Lord Buffalo. “Our drummer, Yamal Said, who is a Mexican citizen & lawful permanent resident of the US, was forcibly removed from our flight to Europe by CBP at Dallas/Fort Worth Int’l Airport.”

No worries there!

Trump is getting unwanted sloppy seconds!!

A white elephant gift!

😂

LOL Trump is getting sloppy seconds!!

Qatari Royal Family Selling Boeing 747-8 Private Jet The Qatari royal family is selling a Boeing 747-8 business jet. Here's what we know about the sale of this epic plane.

This article was right above your post in my feed.

Basically - the Qatar can't sell the jet, so as in the past, they are "gifting it" to another country. LOL Trump is getting sloppy seconds onemileatatime.com/qatari-royal...

Ya… they look like they have really suffered from persecution. They are historically Dutch- so why didn’t the Netherlands rescue them if so desperate?

Give me your “huddled masses longing to breathe free”… but only if white! This administration is full of hypocrisy.

How did we even get here? How is this even an argument??

No other admin has ever been offered this type of "gift" because it CLEARLY would not be allowed. But this admin- world leaders KNOW this admin is greedy & will bend all rules that our country was build upon for their own personal gain.

Tell me you don’t know what the Library of Congress does without telling me you don’t know.

Finally!! Voter rights for the win.

Protect the National Science Foundation and all the vital funding and non-biased research opportunities provided!

Great article summing up some of the attacks on environmental protections right here in NC, by our our legislature.

Includes brief mention of the state Office of Environmental Education, which connects classroom educators to verified and balanced curriculum resources & training.

Living in the upside down for sure....

And giving a shout out to Perkins Orchard, right in my neighborhood, and an amazing resource, person, history in our community, and just all around a great place to shop year around!

Same! And easier parking 👍

This!! I think federal agencies have just done a bad job of telling their stories in the age of social media and storytelling. People just don’t know unless they are actively engaged in their own learning. Otherwise everything just happens…. (waves hands around)

FYI - Saw this link from the Heritage Foundation for a survey.

It is pretty disgusting... but maybe you want to take a look a through in your own thoughts? And we all have burner emails, right?

Great resource… even for web site text!

This is sadly true. And then they will look around in who to blame besides him.

We can all agree it is ridiculous to go through these hoops— but check out this tool created by a post-doc at my university to help find Trump Administration targeted words in your writing.

This is so very very grim….

It’s true… our Republican Senator Thom Tillis thinks these confirmation hearings are a game.

He is doing nothing for his state- Party over People

From a friend: An age old strategy: disrupt, chaos, confusion & cognitive dissonance. Make people fearful so they crave reestablishment of order, & establish NEW order to alleviate fears; while controlling the narrative & eliminate critical thinking b/c it would helps identify the pattern.
