Today, we wasted time voting on renaming the Gulf of Mexico—a name it’s had for almost 500 YEARS. We’ve got folks losing healthcare, schools underfunded, and rights under attack. We’ve got real issues. Prioritize THAT.

Riggs: My opponent—there are a hundred counties in North Carolina. He picked four of the most Democratic counties and challenged the military and overseas voters in those four counties only. We were gratified that the federal court yesterday upheld every one of the arguments we made..

To save runaways from slavery who were trying to make lives in the North “illegally,” local Vigilance Committees formed. They kept watch for slave catchers, secreted away those in danger, and posted placards that outed slave catchers, sometimes hounding them till they left town.

A wheelchair-using UNC student who was physically assaulted by police when they broke up the school’s anti-genocide encampment has since had a prestigious scholarship rescinded, been criminally charged, doxxed and constantly surveilled because of her Palestine activism. www.wunc.org/education/20...
Forero sat on the outskirts filming as police dragged protesters from the flagpole.

"And before I knew it, I was completely knocked over," Forero said. "I was just sitting there filming, I'm knocked over, and then an officer steps on the barricade trying to keep me pinned under it. And people immediately rush in (to help), like I said, community has always saved me."

That day, photos and videos of her trapped under the barricade began circulating around social media. It would later become one of the many images that would make Forero a target.

Unlike other students who can use masks to shield their identities, Forero's wheelchair makes her easily recognizable. And she was already a well-known voice on campus for her past activism for disability rights."I knew I was being watched, both from the university (and) from Morehead-Cain. There was nowhere where I was 'safe,' because there was nowhere where I could hide my identity," Forero said. "Constantly being surveilled — that is very much a significant form of oppression. And I wasn't going to let my visibility prohibit me from standing for the things that I believe in. And by doing so, I had to pay some extra costs or at least consider them."

In the next year, those costs of being an activist would expand to include Forero being doxxed, criminally charged, and losing her scholarship.

Obviously, a huge victory for the migrants here and a major defeat for Trump’s lawless effort to rush out a rendition flight before the courts could act. But also—potentially a massive signal from the Supreme Court that it is finally prepared to go toe to toe with Trump to halt AEA deportations.

"Male loneliness" makes absolutely zero sense if it means actual chronic loneliness (which at least as many women as men suffer, if not more) and entirely too much sense when you read it as whining sexual entitlement.

Normalize accuracy: They bombed Gaza, not Hamas. They bombed Yemen, not Houthis. They bombed Lebanon, not Hezbollah. If they blew up Pensacola, we'd be pretty pissed if it was coded as an attack on the military just because there's military living there.
