We've become myopic with our news because our media doesn't report opposition - global OR national.

We are not alone.

If anyone wants to hold a minute of silence for Charlie Kirk

21,000 children are killed by guns each decade

Kirk said

β€œI think it’s worth to have a cost of..some gun deaths..so..we can have the Second Amendment”

How about a minute of silence for each of them instead

It’ll only take you 14 days

Back in May, Carrboro became the FIRST municipality to proclaim itself a 4th Amendment Workplace. For months now, members of Siembra NC and Make NC Work volunteers have been connecting with business owners across the state to defend the constitutional rights that we ALL have.

Tuned in to @npr.org yesterday for some coverage of exactly what is in this bill and how it will impact my community. Instead, I heard indepth reporting on how to take a great nap. No irony. Time to WAKE UP people. NO NAPPING.

Bold, anti-racist, working class politics JUST WON in the first round of the New York City mayor’s race. SURJ was proud to endorse Zohran Mamdani– and this is a win for all of us across the country.
