The Patriot in Me by S. Sims The patriot in me Sees the patriot in you And wonders if you feel The way that I do. If the flag makes you proud, With your hand over heart, While grieving the wounds We’ve carried from the start.

It’s been a minute, but I’ve been very busy! Both as an activist and now published author! If you’re a fan of romantasy/fantasy, my debut, Threadbound, is available now on Kindle Unlimited and Amazon. You’ll find portal magic, slow burn romance, fated mates, witty banter, found family… good stuff!

A trainer from Siembra NC will be in Forest City tomorrow (11/20) for an ICE Watch/Border Patrol response training. With Border Patrol now active in Charlotte, Raleigh, and Asheville, it’s important for our community to know how to document, respond, and support each other! DM for RSVP link.

48 community care kits assembled today! Some went to folks along the Rail Trail, others to Grace of God, and a few were taken by neighbors to share on their daily routes. Each bag had socks, gloves, hats, snacks, hygiene items & more. Grateful for everyone who donated time, items, & heart. 🫶

Almost 200 of us stood together yesterday. Peacefully, powerfully, unshaken. What was meant to intimidate us only proved why we keep showing up. I know I’m on the right side of history. And one day, when my daughters ask what I did, I’ll tell them: I stood tall. I showed up. I fought for them.

If the US taxed like the EU, we’d raise $36 TRILLION over 10 years. That’s money for: — Universal healthcare — Free college — Paid leave — Ending poverty — A livable future Instead, Congress just passed a 1am budget slashing Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP while billionaires keep their tax breaks.

I watched my kids sleep last night and cried. In Gaza, mothers hold lifeless bodies. The UN warns 14,000 babies could die within 48 hrs without aid. Babies. Since Oct 2023: — 1,139 Israelis killed — 61,000+ Palestinians killed or missing — 1.9 mil Palestinians displaced — Neighborhoods erased

Trump bragged about deporting immigrants to “death camps” in El Salvador, singling out Kilmar Garcia because he had tattoos. Let’s be clear: Tattoos aren’t a crime. Being undocumented isn’t a death sentence. Every person is entitled to due process.

Articles of impeachment have been filed against Trump. Civics: • Impeachment=charges, not removal. • House votes first (simple majority). • Senate holds trial (needs 67 votes to convict).

The House just passed a bill to limit federal judges from blocking unconstitutional government actions nationwide. This guts a critical check on executive power. It means harmful policies could stay in place for years while cases drag through courts.

Shannon Sims @nudgul.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Free and fair elections are a human right. If we care about protecting democracy, we have to care about truth and fairness, not just political wins. Investigating foreign interference is important, but it must apply to all fundraising platforms, not just ActBlue or one side.

Trump just signed an executive order eliminating the use of “disparate impact” in civil rights enforcement. Translation: it’s now way harder to fight discrimination that looks neutral but hurts women, minorities, and marginalized groups.

First they detained immigrants for showing up. Now they’re arresting judges for “helping” them… Imagine doing everything right. Showing up to your court date. Attending a scheduled immigration appointment. Following the system that promised a pathway to stay. And then being detained or deported.

It’s a great day to speak up about injustice! Let’s jump right in, shall we? JD Vance’s “Peace” Plan isn’t peace. It’s capitulation. The newly unveiled U.S.-backed “peace proposal” led by JD Vance is a dangerous pivot, not toward peace, but toward appeasement.
