“Am I scared of the state? Pretty silly not to be. I’m a brown person. I might be killed by the police for existing in certain spaces. [But] fear is the mind killer ... you can’t let the fear stop you from doing things, from living, from existing, from resisting.”

![“We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power… this means a revolution of values and other things.
We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together… you can’t really get rid of one without getting rid of the others… the whole structure of American life must be changed.
America is a hypocritical nation and [we] must put [our] own house in order.”

Really a shame that there's no policy that has been proposed to eliminate an unjust system that charges Carolinians for basic access to healthcare we all deserve by virtue of being born 👁️

If Duke Energy can't provide power at such critical times, then perhaps it's time to get rid of it and replace it with public power in North Carolina. A grid for the people, not for profits - one that actually does what it's supposed to.

The Biden administration has green-lit billions of dollars in military assistance to the Israeli project, an apartheid entity that refused to give Palestinians equal access to vaccinations during the COVID pandemic and that regularly bombs Palestinian medical infrastructure.

The formation of organized Indigenous resistance to a settler colonial project will inevitably lead to a hyper focus on “security” within the colony in which acts of Indigenous resistance become “terrorism” against “innocent” settlers.
This news is the process in action.⤵️

UNC Housekeepers are insulted -- the "raise" announced by UNC was ONLY $.90/hr! UNC is pulling a PR stunt to cover the fact that they don't pay their housekeepers a living wage! Housekeepers are preparing to act to accomplish their demands -- $20/hr for housekeepers NOW!

Sources say Proud Boys blew up a power station in Moore County NC to stop a drag show. If so, this white supremacist, anti-trans hate group needs to be shut down for this act of terrorism.
