FINAL Policy Wednesday is essential. It’s the core of everything we aim to do in the DA’s Office: JUSTICE! “What does JUSTICE look like in THIS case?” will be the main question I want all prosecutors to answer. Voting starts tomorrow! #TimForMeckDA
We have to do better with our communications. I support a transparent process where applications for Interim Mayor are public, just as candidate filings are public when people run for office. Transparency builds trust, and we owe residents clear communication.
Karliana is her name. Her mother is scared that her daughter is being caged in a for-profit ICE warehouse in Baldwin owned by GEO Group.
This isn't about safety.
GEO reported $254 mill in profits in 2025 ($2.63 B in total revenues). GEO complained that it still wasn't enough.
Our statement on tonight's historic vote by the CRTPO:
Tonight, representatives from every municipality in Mecklenburg County joined the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County in voting to rescind support for the I-77 South toll lane expansion project. (1/7)
It’s only been about 6 months since the horrible legislation known as “Iryna’s Law” was passed by NC Legislature, signed by Governor, and took effect as law. It is the cause of the massive overcrowding throughout the State and it is only going to get worse.
NEW: Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden says his office will reopen the north Charlotte jail due to "historic overcrowding" in the Uptown facility, where hundreds of inmates are being housed in overflow areas and utilizing temporary, stack-a-bunk sleeping arrangements.
Conservatives watched white actors play Egyptians, Asians, Persians, and Native Americans for 70 years and suddenly became the Casting Police in 2026.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
@huskyslide95@CollegeFBonX Ah yes, an expansive mass of land known around the world for its robust public higher education systems. That was funnier than your first joke!
@huskyslide95@CollegeFBonX “Solid” is doing a very heavy lift in this sentence. Also, you caught me by surprise. I never would have guessed a UCONN fan would have attempted a total non sequitur to change the topic to basketball!
@huskyslide95@CollegeFBonX We’ve beat you 5 in a row. But, I feel for you, it must be soul sucking to cheer for a football team like UCONN, no history of success, nothing to look forward to. All while playing in a dumpy, concrete stadium in the middle of nowhere, 20 miles from campus. Go Huskies!
