While canvassing last spring, I knocked on the door of a solid Dem voter considering Trump b/c of how cities with Dem mayors are run. What I should have said … Tell me more about that. … I wonder how those cities would be different if they had Republican mayors. Canvassing for 2026 starts now.

Wondering today when and why so many Americans have become anti-science and anti-intellectual. What will cause these folks to wake up? Crop failures? Increased deaths from preventable diseases? Absence or tornado and hurricane warnings? And how long will it take us to recover?

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Does that sound fair to you?

Having worked in financial aid for over 15 years I know how critical student aid is to access to higher ed for low income students. Raising taxes on endowments will cause reduced spending on student aid. Make this one of your actions today.

The reconciliation bill lifts the excise tax on tanning beds while eviscerating funding for cancer research and kicking millions of Americans off of their health care. So … Republicans want Americans to die of skin cancer?

Attn Cape Fear basin, this just in: "NCDEQ Division of Water Resources identifies elevated 1,4-dioxane levels in Asheboro WWTP’s wastewater"

A public notice which reads: NCDEQ Division of Water Resources identifies elevated 1,4-dioxane levels in Asheboro WWTP’s wastewater

RALEIGH – The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Water Resources (DWR) has identified elevated 1,4-dioxane levels discharged from the City of Asheboro Wastewater Treatment Plant to Hasketts Creek, which drains to the Deep River within the Cape Fear River Basin. 1,4-Dioxane is categorized by the EPA as a likely human carcinogen, or a substance that likely can cause cancer. See EPA’s Risk Evaluation for 1,4-dioxane. 1,4-Dioxane is used for a variety of industrial purposes.

DWR staff notified downstream drinking water utilities and businesses on Jan. 28 after preliminary laboratory results indicated elevated levels of 1,4-dioxane. Entities notified include the City of Sanford, Fayetteville Public Works Commission, Harnett Regional Water, Pender County Utilities, Cape Fear Public Utility Authority in Wilmington, Bladen Bluffs Water System, Pilgrim’s Pride Water System in Sanford and International Paper Co.

DWR detected elevated levels of 1,4-dioxane in a sample collected on Jan. 24, 2025, from the City of Asheboro’s wastewater treatment plant discharge, returning a final concentration of 2,200 parts per billion (ppb). The Asheboro Wastewater Treatment Plant detected a concentration of 3,520 ppb from their own sample, which was also collected on Jan. 24. After the initial analysis of the samples, DWR completed quality assurance and control measures to validate the results. DEQ, using EPA toxicity calculations for lifetime exposure, has determined that the average monthly 1,4-dioxane concentration protective of downstream water supplies is about 22 ppb for the Asheboro discharge.

The concentrations of 1,4-dioxane were measured in "grab samples," or wastewater samples taken at a single point in time by the facility and DWR. For 1,4-dioxane, the grab samples are performed using an U.S. Environmental Protection…

These guys are absolutely terrified of @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social. Also, an example of how Democrats breaking the GOP supermajority in North Carolina's state legislature will have very tangible practical outcomes - Democrats are very likely to successfully block this. www.wral.com/story/north-...

The Demographics of the North Carolina General Assembly Many people underestimate the amount of diversity in North Carolina's state legislature. There is, in fact, quite a bit of gender and racial diversity among North Carolina's lawmakers - just all on one side. carolinaforward.org/blog/tale-of...

The representative for the newly gerrymandered 10th NC Congressional district is Pat Harrigan, a West Point grad and Green Beret who owns and operates a firearms business. Apparently, owning a firearms business is a fast track to elected office in NC.

First bsky post, and it is to rally against NC SB382. The NCGOP is using Hurricane Helene as cover to strip power from the NC Gov and to make voting harder before losing their supermajority. Call your NC state senator now. I’d tag Sen Paul Lowe but he isn’t here yet. 👀

Why do people in red states like Oklahoma consistently vote against their own interests and keep electing people who are causing their suffering? It’s because of what we refer to as the authoritarian loop. Here’s how it works:
