    People really want to live here! "North Carolina had the third-highest level of domestic in-migration of all states, behind only Florida and Texas" Biggest stat? 90% of our new residents since 2010 are non-white.

    So many teachers are saying this is the worst year ever for them, that it's never been harder. Tell me: 1. What can your leadership do to make it better? 2. What can parents do to make it better? 3. What can your colleagues do to make it better?

    Sexual harassment isn't driven by a desire for women. It's motivated by a desire for power over women. Data: assertive women face more sexual harassment—especially in male-dominated workplaces. The problem is not self-control. It's a culture that normalizes control over women.

    Really can't tell if the country is going through a slow-motion nervous breakdown or it's basically always like this and now we have lots of documentation.

    Fireside chat at w/ . 2 subjects came up that never get enough discussion: - Autocrats use "cybersecurity laws" to control the net. - China is enabling dictators by baking surveillance tech into internet / telco infrastructure projects 'round world.

    Autocratic states use the langage of cyber security laws. Civil society organizations need to familiarize themselves with cyber security laws.

    “There is room for all of us if those with privilege use it.” Simple. True. Powerful.

    I will be fine. There are hundreds of theatre artists, many of whom are women, who have come out of an 18 month stand still and global pandemic without the same opportunities. Potentially this will create more for them. There is room for all of us if those with privilege use it

    This diver caught an adorable moment on video when a wild grey seal swam up and hugged him underwater. Ben Burville says he has been scuba diving in that area of the North Sea for nearly 20 years, and has become very familiar with the local seals as a result.

    Life changing service. Too long in coming!

    The U.S. Postal Service quietly began offering paycheck-cashing services at several East Coast post offices last month, testing a plan that financial experts say has the potential to transform how low-wage and underserved Americans access their money.

    This is one hell of an ad from a Democrat running for Congress. The question is whether people will watch it and share it.

    Abolish the death penalty

    Today is World Day Against the Death Penalty. Fact: ppl who are male, black, or poor are more likely to get the DP for the same crime than ppl who are female, white, or wealthy. It is unequally applied, fails to deter crime, irreversible, and demeans the USA.

    “Smithfield is doubling down on the cheapest & most harmful method possible for storing billions of gallons of hog waste w/o addressing the added harm to communities. These NC permits to the hog industry continue a legacy of burdening communities of color w/sickness & pollution.”

    There are federal laws against ignoring environmental injustice. We've called on to remind North Carolina officials that the law applies to state agencies that issue permits for industrial hog operations too. Click through for the details.
