Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

I would bet the airlines got to him

I am a blue dot in NC. All my federal reps are Republicans. I had hope for all of a couple of days that MAYBE the DNC could be a real opposition party and make some inroads here. And then this. Cool. Way to refute the “they’re all the same it doesn’t matter” crowd. 😡🙄

Funny enough, none of the saboteurs are running again. All retirees.
Imagine.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

I was just thinking it would be brilliant if the Dutch put something up on their land that Hegseth & co couldn’t touch.

UPDATE: Reached out to the Rev. Hannah Kardon, a United Methodist minister who was there that day and has been active in religious demonstrations at Broadview.

“They are making it clear that they are scared of prayer … it speaks the truth that what they are doing in that building is evil.”

WAKE THE FUCK UP

I despise the fact that we are at a point where Reagan of all presidents is quoted as the voice of reason. Yes, I agree w the commercial and with this statement. Yes, I acknowledge that Reagan might be one of the only voices to penetrate maga. Do I want to hold up Reagan as a paragon? Ummmm no.

These “retro” posters from DOL recycle 1930s fascist aesthetics of white male heroes, “homeland” pride, and exclusion disguised as Americana. Authoritarian regimes use this style of propaganda to glorify obedience and erase diversity.

Shutdown Assistance

The Civil Servants Coalition, which authored the letter asking Congress to support a shutdown if the legislation to end it did not include reigning in the illegal actions of the administration, has put together this Google doc of resources. Please share it widely so Feds can hold the line longer!!✊✊

And they called it the the Great Epstein Recess of 2025

The USA is deeply invested in poverty being a personal moral failing. If we admit that poverty is caused by policy, then we admit our society is lacking in ethics and compassion.

A large and bipartisan group of Western NC residents are circulating a letter demanding that Trump's Hurricane Helene Recovery Czar Mike Whatley resign from his position, saying his leadership has been disastrous.

UPDATE: More donors funding the demolition of the East Wing for Trump's $250M ballroom have been identified

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

the same people who said tearing down confederate statues was destroying history are mum on this atrocity being committed on the White House. makes me sick

"This is not right. You should NOT be gerrymandering an ALREADY gerrymandered map. Listen to your constituents and act accordingly. Do NOT vote for these maps."

Our Jazmyne Abney of Common Cause NC spoke powerfully today at the legislature against gerrymandering.

But do you get any dad points for working at NYT?

I’m good w next week. 🤷🏻‍♀️ before MORE data centers get built

Just since February, over 300 North Carolina homeowners across Western NC have applied for FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grants to help rebuild their homes.

None - zero - have been approved.

Neither the White House nor WNC's Republican Congressman Chuck Edwards will even comment on it.

What's going on?

NC residents: tell them what you think about redistricting!

MAYBE THE NATIONAL GUARD SHOULD BE STOPPING TRUMP FROM LITERALLY TEARING DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE?!?

Anytime anyone says AI is the future or that it’s *fine* for the oligarchy to have tech monopolies, I’d like to use today as part of my rebuttal.

😂😂😂

We have to do both 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

They usually happen a few weeks into the school year so parents can “meet the teacher” and ask any questions. We have to stay till 8/8:30 and it’s either a PACKED circus or a ghost town.

Tesla drivers need the BMW test too. Collectively they are menaces on my commute.

As a teacher, I ABSOLUTELY understand. It’s a special level of chaos and stress. TBH, I feel like it’s a totally outdated model. A zoom or a video presentation would be more efficient.
