When NC Republicans redrew our congressional districts it forced Chris to change his plans. Gerrymandering causes trouble for voters & candidates.

A retired British primary school administrator with a British passport and a valid visa was shackled, chained and detained for six weeks by ICE

Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody.
That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term.
We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.
At the Munich Security Conference, Lindsey Graham tossed f-bombs at Danish Prime Minister Mette Fredericksen, referring to her as "little lady," implying she could not stand against Trump’s Greenland lust.
"Frederiksen simply responded:
'When you’re done with that, the meeting can continue.'"

No cake. No presents. No party.

Here's what happened this week in North Carolina politics. [February 13, 2026]
They killed legal assistance to low-income people in our state and then gambled our money on crypto.
Go Eunice! Go Mystique! ⛸️
Eleven years ago today on February 10, 2015, three young Muslims--23 year old Deah Barakat, 21 year old Yusor Abu-Salha, and 19 year old Razan Abu-Salha--were shot to death in their home, in what came to be known as the Chapel Hill Shooting.
Thinking of their loved ones today.
North Carolina has a very serious problem with political corruption. The biggest single example of a blatant scam on our state's taxpayers is probably the private school voucher scheme. Once you find out how this system works, it'll blow your mind that this is legal. 🤯

To have their vote counted this year, over 70,000 North Carolinians need to verify or correct their registration. There are 3 easy ways laid out in an article we'll put in the comments.

So, first of all, of course it was Trump.
But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.
Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.
The senseless murder of Alex Pretti is finally showing everyday folks that the Trump regime is beyond any redemption. And in an anti-religious age, it's sparked a quest for a new American morality
It's beyond politics now. This is about good vs. evil
