I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Federal Appeals Court votes 2-1 to halt NC ballot curing efforts while Riggs-Griffin case is litigated. For now, letters will not be sent to the 1400 people whose ballot might have otherwise been cured. #ncpol www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A bit of good news: In a 2-1 vote, NC judges have ruled AGAINST the SB 382 power grab. That bill, passed post-election, sought to strip the (D) Governor of his right to appoint members to the State Board of Elections. They sought, inexplicably, to instead hand that power to the (R) Auditor. #ncpol

I volunteered to help at the protest in Raleigh today, estimated 2500-5000 people in Raleigh with an additional thousand or so each in Cary and Durham. We will not be silent while the white male patriarchy tries to destroy our democracy!

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Some good news! I do feel like the tide is starting to shift between what she says and yesterday Senator Tillis in NC emailed a survey asking our opinions on Trumps agenda and even an open answer question at the bottom of the survey asking what Congress should focus on!

What a great ZOOM! HCR reminded us that the Trump admin is wrought with fissures. "This is NOT over," and change is indeed possible. Rep. Crockett reminded us that, while "our democracy is fragile," We, The People "have the POWER!" 🔥 Also: "We are our own saviors!" 💥 @redwineblueusa.bsky.social
