But we have every reason to be excited about what it says. Apparently Republican senators up for re-election in 2020, including Susan Collins, Cory Gardner, and Mitch McConnell are not all that popular. The headline says they’re “paying a political price,” which I think is premature, but I am thrilled nonetheless to…
I feel so sick right now. Just got my voting information in the mail, and there are six proposed constitutional amendments this year in North Carolina. I don’t know how much y’all know about elections here, but this is highly unusual. This ain’t California, they ain’t ballot propositions, and they will likely all pass…
In case y’all haven’t heard, the teacher protests have come to North Carolina.
Here is some exciting news. Signatures have been collected for years at this point to overcome Rick Scott’s destructive anti-voter policies, and the efforts have paid off! Now it’s up to the voters, and it’s up to everyone to get people energized to vote YES!
Politico has a long and winding article about Paul Ryan possibly wanting to quit Congress. The article doesn’t really come to a definitive conclusion, though, because if Ryan were to announce that he won’t seek re-election, he will be significantly less powerful in the House.
Apparently Besty DeVos is having a hard time being the head of a bureaucracy.
So Donald Jr. met with an attorney who wanted to pass along information about Hillary Clinton that was obtained by Russia’s hack of the DNC. He has already issued a statement loaded with bullshit about this meeting, but my favorite line was this one: “My father knew nothing of the meeting or these events.” Junior is…
Wow, this report surprised me. If any of you know anything about North Carolina politics, it’s that our legislature is ruled by a band of Republican idiots, crony capitalists, and racists. They came to power in 2010, the first time the state legislature (the General Assembly) had gone majority-Republican in…
I wish I could march tomorrow, but I’ll be at work in the morning. I have as much enthusiasm as the people on this flight, though. Good luck out there everyone, and stay safe! Don’t break the line!
In the best way of course!
Damn, I love musical theatre. It gives me the hope I need.
I finished a book very late last night that so deeply affected me that I can’t even process it yet. I will have to reread it in the future after getting through the rest of my pile. Here’s the book, Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys. It’s about Stalin’s hidden crimes against the people of the Baltic states (and…
Hope Solo has been suspended for six months from the US Women’s National Team! This suspension comes after a ton of misconduct and her being quite nasty to the Swedish team, calling them “a bunch of cowards.” Her contract has also been terminated. Better late than never, eh, USWNT leaders?
I was quite disappointed. British history and mythology are clearly her comfort zones. Stay in your lane, JK! This person wrote a sorting quiz for a different school of witchcraft and wizardry in the U.S.
