As part of their efforts to gut Head Start, the Trump administration is now attempting to erase entire communities and prevent families from accessing the program's wide range of benefits.

We're fighting back in court.

The House is expected to vote this week on Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill to make providing trans youth with gender-affirming care punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

Life-saving health care is on the line. Tell your members of Congress to reject this bill NOW. 
Protect Trans Care Now
As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

In case anyone else was wondering, the plural of Krampus is Krampusse

They were all out this evening! A whole legion of Krampusse with their attendant St Nickolases

St Nicholoi

St Nicks

Anyway they were fantastic; one of Durham’s best holiday traditions

The fighters led by the CIA found themselves spiraling into despair because of what they saw as bureaucratic neglect and abandonment by the U.S. government. Among their ranks was Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the man charged with killing one National Guard soldier and seriously injuring a second after opening fire on them in Washington, D.C. on Thanksgiving Eve.

My mom was taking about an old acquaintance who is living nearby, renting a room in a house in exchange for light housekeeping.

Me: wow? That’s really cool! I… didn’t realize there were any lighthouses nearby?

Speaker Destin Hall invited ICE to come back. Now we have 50 extra agents set loose for the holidays.

Call him at 919-733-4111 (that’s the main line; ask for his office)

After pressure from the Justice Department, Apple pulled apps from its App Store that encourage reporting ICE activity. Google followed suit by pulling similar apps from its Play Store.

The government shouldn't be choosing what apps we can download, and neither should tech companies.

Heads up - it's been pretty much confirmed that ICE will be making a ruckus in Raleigh, at least, through December. I think we can assume those asshats will be here in Durham too.
