It's primary season, y'all.
When our politicians fail us, it's time to fire them and find new ones. That's why Carolina Forward is very proud to announce our endorsements in the 2026 primary election for the North Carolina General Assembly.

Speaker Destin Hall blaming Gov. Stein for DMV failures is pure gaslighting.
The State Auditor’s own August report shows 15 years of systemic underfunding and flat staffing while NC’s population exploded.
And Hall’s legislature? Still can’t pass a budget. Own it.

"Iron laws of the world"? Some of America's most important national accomplishments are about leading humanity away from this kind of bullshit.
If we let ideologues like Stephen Miller drag us back into a world where brute force is all that matters, all of us will be less safe.

Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.

North Carolina ranks 50th of 51 states (DC is included) for education funding. Only Idaho is worse. The report’s data is from the 2022-23 school year, so the rankings don't yet account for stagnant spending over the past two years.

A big subtext here: The GOP and Trump administration — including Trump himself! — have repeatedly bemoaned the plight of persecuted Christians over the years, often referencing Iranian Christians in particular.
But per this priest, the admin is trying to deport Iranian Christians back to Iran.

Via me and @alejacorazonhm.bsky.social: CBP posted a pic of two detained Iranians, saying, “No fun in the sun when you are unlawfully present.”

I’ve been notified of two more deaths in ICE custody in the last 24 hours — meaning that 25 people have now died in detention since Trump returned to office.
That’s the most in more than two decades. The cruelty and inhumanity of this administration must end.
