no feet to fall you need no ground allowed to glide right through the sun released from circles guarded tight now we all are chosen ones NOW WE ALL ARE CHOSEN ONES

This autocrat is making a credible threat of genocide for all the world to see. Do his enablers have no shame? They sit by and profit off his murderous disregard for humanity. It’s past time to invoke the 25th amendment and remove him from office. Nothing short of war crime trials await him.

Our family is holding Justice Earls in our prayers. So grateful that her prognosis is good! ❤️❤️❤️

Durham County commissioner says City Council member poked her at political mixer newsobserver.com/news/local/…

That's right

I’ve known Roy Cooper for 25 years, and I’m proud to call him my friend. He’ll make an amazing Senator for us. Here’s one North Carolina vote he can count on next year.

Handed to Trump on a silver platter: Tons of private data to help him target, harass, and punish his political enemies. Zero factual justification given for why DOGE needs this data. This should terrify every American.

I'm not sure I've ever seen such a brutal distributional analysis from CBO. This contrasts the Medicaid and SNAP cuts for the lowest decile with the tax cuts for the top decile.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries on "colleagues and friends in organized labor" who argue tariffs can be used strategically: "That’s a discussion that can be had when we are in a period of actually being able to debate policy in an enlightened way. That’s not this moment."

Please listen to Stephanie Nolen. Seriously, actually listen. And think. Reflect that maybe you don’t understand US foreign aid the way you think you do. Seriously, actually stop and think. Seriously. “@K.M Thanks for reading. I know many people share the view that it is inappropriate for the United States to spend money to assist developing countries when there are people struggling to access health care or other assistance at home. The thing that I think this perspective misses, based on my many years of reporting on this subject, is that much of the U.S. spending is not altruistic. It's done to directly serve the interests of the United States. The U.S. funds almost all disease surveillance in Africa, for example – and yes, that protects Africans, but it also protects Americans, who are much safer when Ebola or a new mpox strain are detected while still in Uganda or D.R.C., rather than when they have traveled with a passenger bound for Kansas. The U.S. funds tuberculosis treatment in poor countries because Americans are less safe if extremely drug resistant strains of TB are permitted to evolve and spread. U.S. agencies do many clinical trials in developing countries. Supporting primary health care in very fragile states helps maintain peace. I could list 1,000 examples of how this spending directly contributes to U.S. national security. Is money spent to support these kinds of projects then actually money spent to assist Americans? (It also doesn't hurt to maintain an international image as a country interested in partnership, when seeking places for military bases or a friendly environment for U.S. mining companies, for example.)”

Not on this platform much anymore but I did want to share what I consider to be some of the best local Durham news I’ve heard in quite some time. @Sarah_Willets is fantastic and I’m wishing her all the best in a tough but critical job! ❤️💛💙 #DurhamForever

Hey @CityofDurhamNC — what happened to the lovely trees beside the city hall annex along Mangum Street? A friend passed along this picture showing that the area has been cleared. 😕

I’m excited that Durham is part of #SafeStreetsWeek, starting today in NC. And it’s important to acknowledge that another pedestrian was struck and killed Sunday on Holloway - the 10th pedestrian killed in Durham in ‘24. #VisionZero can’t come soon enough.

Can't name one thing. Can name dozens of things. Here are a few: codified human rights, haute couture, baguettes, camembert, bordeaux & burgundy wines (plus all the others), high speed trains (better than Japanese version), Eric Cantona, existentialisme and pains au chocolat 🇫🇷
