As North Carolinians prepare to cast their ballots in this pivotal election cycle, a troubling pattern has become all too clear: extremist politicians all across the country are working to undermine the legitimacy of our elections. Their latest tactics include pushing “Citizen Only” amendments and spreading voting disinformation, particularly targeting immigrant communities. While North Carolinians […]

An American tragedy

2024/10/15

Contentious political factions are nothing new in the United States. John Adams once wrote that during the American Revolution, the country was roughly divided into three groups – those who were pro-independence, those who wanted to remain part of the British Empire, and those who didn’t give a damn. Less than a century later, the […]

“Turn that garbage off…get off Facebook and get out there and put on a pair of boots and pair of gloves and get to work.” Those were the eloquent words last week of Bill Wilke — the Republican sheriff of hard hit Haywood County — in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Wilke was responding […]

For healthcare workers, the threat of violence is genuine. Gone are the days when healthcare heroes were recognized for selfless dedication and duty to those sick and dying. The same caregivers are now forced to operate under a cloud of potential violence, never sure when their compassion and expertise may be met with rage and […]

2024/10/10

In 2010 I published “On the Grid,” a book about infrastructure and the systems — water, wastewater, power, gas, telephone, communications — that made our absurdly easy lives possible. The systems everyone affected by Hurricane Helene is now desperate to see restored. The systems Milton is about to demolish in central Florida. Anyone who knows […]

The best way to improve disaster relief

2024/10/08

Government officials and average citizens of all guises and stripes have done a mostly remarkable job of carrying out relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Notwithstanding the understandable frustrations of those in devastated areas still waiting for aid and the calculated lies of some cynical politicians and shameless social media creeps, the truth […]

2024/10/03

The deaths of Candi Miller and Amber Thurman are not just tragedies that happen to other people—they’re personal. Their stories shake me to my core, and I feel a deep, visceral connection to what they endured. It’s hard not to see my reflection in their struggles, and harder still to acknowledge that, if circumstances had […]

2024/10/01

Tempting as it might be for those who’ve long watched, worried and warned about the increasingly destructive impacts of climate change, the massive – what many are describing as “Biblical” – destruction wrought last week by Hurricane Helene is not a moment for lengthy “I-told-you-so’s.” No, much as some might want to devote their energy […]

As a Wake County high school graduate, I can tell you what the U.S. Constitution is. I can tell you about the Nineteenth Amendment and how it guarantees my right to vote as a woman. I learned all of this in my required Civics course during my freshman year. What I didn’t learn was how […]
