The irony of this is that the NCGOP can't even pass a state budget, but they're bringing the legislature back to gerrymander another seat for Trump. #ncpol

If you needed confirmation that the NCGOP will do anything for Trump’s approval, here it is. They just agreed to gerrymander our maps.

Join us on Tuesday, Oct. 21 to send them a clear message: we're watching and we’re not backing down.

ICE is a dead trap: it not only tears apart lives, families and communities. They also kill in their "detention centers" and in their raids... ¿Hasta cuándo?

Exijimos a Israel la liberación inmediata de cualquier detenido.

... no just a dollar, but actually, according to the budget just approved, around $17,000,000,000. Of our own money.

Miriam Martinez-Bascuñan lo explica perfectamente: "Es el perfecto gramscismo autoritario: establecen un marco interpretativo (la izquierda es violenta), cada evento confirma ese marco (el asesinato de Kirk) y, finalmente, se justifica la represión real (el plan contra la violencia doméstica)."

There are no surprises here... Sexual abusers don't believe in sexist violence.

Hey @democrats.org, it’s actually really easy.

You just need to forcefully say, “We refuse to fund an authoritarian regime.”

List the people’s demands and tell Republicans the government will shut down if they’re not met.

Then watch as the masses mobilize behind you.

If you fight, we will too.
