Why do NC Republican legislators support state sponsored segregation academies? Why are our taxes used to resegregate schools in North Carolina? This has always been the Republican goal for "Opportunity Scholarships". #nced #ncpol #ncleg

The Cubs have not won a game since May 15th, the day that Billy Goat Tavern owner Sam Sianis passed away. Is the curse back?

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.

Wake Forest’s athletic department just welcomed a new university president and is in the middle of a $250 million mixed-use development called “The Grounds” that is reshaping the entire sports and entertainment district around campus. 🧱

Private capital is now following the athletic department’s lead. A hotel property was just acquired for redevelopment, a neighboring commercial plaza was purchased for major renovation, a $33 million freestanding emergency department is under construction nearby.

The district now draws over one million fans annually across Joel Coliseum, Allegacy Stadium, Couch Ball Park, and the Wake Forest Tennis Center.

Truist is a named partner for women’s athletics, the school just opened a new campus in Charlotte’s innovation district, and the AD is running a disciplined commercial operation for a school Wake Forest’s size.

People talk about the big brands in college athletics…Wake Forest is a quiet case study in what it looks like when an athletic department operates like an anchor for its entire surrounding community.

Oh, I miss those days….

[Today In History @historigins]

In 1998, the United States achieved its first federal budget surplus in 29 years, effectively ending a streak of deficits that had lasted since 1969. ⁠
⁠
This milestone was achieved under President Bill Clinton, following the passage of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, which resulted in a fiscal surplus of approximately $69 billion for that year.⁠

As a reporter, I'm so disappointed by the men of the White House press corps. They let Trump constantly bully women reporters. In sports, we stood up 4 each other. I once got into a brawl w/ a U Miami ass't coach over the sexist way he treated a female writer. Grow a pair!

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

A news reporter asked Michael Jordan if he thought the ’90s Bulls could beat LeBron’s Lakers.

MJ: Yes.
Reporter: By how much?
MJ: Two or three points.
Reporter: Why so close?
MJ: Most of us are almost 60 now.

[Jon Williams @JonWilliams54]

Truth.

[KP Asks Why @KPASKSWHY]

Over 90% of North Carolina opportunity scholarships have gone to families who never had a kid in public school and were already sending their kids to private school.

There is no income cap.

It ain’t helping poor kids get better educations. It’s subsidizing the rich & religious.
