This is the day that the Lord has made, so let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Hurricane Helene was the most devastating storm ever to hit our state, causing $53 billion in damages. Republican legislators should prioritize western North Carolina recovery, not private school vouchers for the wealthy.

@CBenson49 @langstonwertzjr Facts!

[Langston Wertz Jr. @langstonwertzjr]

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is starting a new initiative, At Home in CMS, partnering with developers to offer below-rate apartments and home purchasing opportunities for teachers in the district. There's also plans for a 100-unit "Teacher Village," with groundbreaking next year.

Credit CMS for out-of-the-box bold thinking.

Another thought? Partner with the city-county for a half-penny sales tax to give teachers an initial pay hike and then larger than NC statewide raises.

Whoever wrote this one's going to hell and whatnot

"I was at Barnes and Noble. Asked the clerk if they had Trump's new book on how to deport immigrants. She immediately said, "Get the fuck out of here and don't come back." I said, "Yes, that's the one. Have it in paperback?"

On this day in 1960, Ruby Bridges became the first Black American to attend a white elementary school in the South.

A visual reminder of what she faced every day.

—In 1960, Ruby Bridges was escorted by federal marshals to her first day of first grade as the first black student to attend a previously all-white Elementary School. A riotous white mob gathered to protest her arrival, screaming hateful slurs and threats.

As soon as Bridges entered the school, white parents pulled their own children out; all teachers refused to teach while a black child was enrolled.

Only one person agreed to teach Ruby and that was Barbara Henry, from Boston, Massachusetts, and for over a year Mrs. Henry taught her alone, "as if she were teaching a whole class."

Every morning, as Bridges walked to school, one woman would threaten to poison her; because of this, the U.S. Marshals dispatched by President Eisenhower, who were overseeing her safety, only allowed Ruby to eat food that she brought from home.

Another woman at the school put a black baby doll in a wooden coffin and protested with it outside the school, a sight that Bridges said "scared me more than the nasty things people screamed at us."

At her mother's suggestion, Bridges began to pray on the way to school, which she found provided protection from the comments yelled at her on the daily walks.

I swear, people spent two years calling Trump a fascist and then act surprised when he acts that way. Why? WHY DO PEOPLE INDULGE IN FANTASIES LIKE THIS?

Trump picked Gaetz BECAUSE HE WANTS THE AG TO BE LOYAL. There's nothing more or less than that.

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

My God... why do people think Trump is playing 3 dimensional chess with these cabinet picks?

He is a strong man. He demands LOYALTY. These picks are loyalty. Confirming them is a loyalty test for his new empire.

[Keith Boykin @keithboykin]

I better not ever hear another word from a Trump supporter about DEI, affirmative action, or meritocracy after Trump picked the most unqualified and unserious people to join his cabinet.

Cam Newton says being “erased” by Panthers has hurt his feelings.

“I’m like damn, I gave this city everything.”

[Langston Wertz Jr. @langstonwertzjr]

Cam Newton is the greatest Panthers’ player ever and he should have a statue at the stadium.

Period.

He called Professor Coates, one of the most celebrated & accomplished thinkers of our time, an "extremist," because his book dares to center Palestinian humanity. A masterclass reply from Coates.

Also, wild that CBS challenges him more than they will Vance during the VP Debate.

Dunking on trans people is some lazy-ass shit. Live your life and let them live theirs and whatnot.
