People aren’t “low income” and we can use more accurate language than “low-income families.” They are from *under-resourced communities;* and “high-income families” come from *over-resourced* communities—with subsidized schooling, tutoring, access to green spaces, arts and more.

"Kevin Rashid Johnson reports that Econ and his cellmate Trayvon Brown set themselves on fire hoping to escape the intolerable racism, abuse, and inhumane conditions they were subjected to."
“In a span of just two weeks, a dozen Black men at Red Onion prison in Virginia took the same desperate measures, setting themselves ablaze. These are not acts of protest. These are human beings driven to extreme lengths, hoping for relief from torment.”

I condemn antisemitism and all forms of hatred & bigotry. Period.
H.Res. 1449 relies on the flawed IHRA definition, conflating valid criticism of the Israeli gov with antisemitism. Standing against hate must never come at the cost of silencing valid & necessary critiques.
Find me over at the other spot. Same handle. Different platform. No evil owner. Looking forward to finding old friends and new.

The North Carolina GOP lost its supermajority come 2025, but they're trying to upend control of the elections' system to move it under GOP control in the future in the lame-duck session:
In a bill NC's GOP-controlled legislature is expected to vote on today, lawmakers are proposing moving the State Board of Elections under the purview of the auditor. A Republican will hold the office come Jan., after a Democrat has held the office for more than a decade. #ncpol
