The Morea Road warehouse project must be reevaluated because it will permanently reshape the community, placing a massive industrial facility only 300 yards from existing homes, increasing noise, air pollution, and heavy truck traffic while destroying local green space and wildlife habitat. Residents were never properly notified or given the chance to participate in earlier decisions, despite the project’s direct impact on their safety, health, property values, and quality of life. Ensuring thorough environmental studies, transparent public communication, and responsible planning is essential not to stop progress, but to protect families and preserve the long-term well-being and livability of Mahanoy Township for current and future generations.

Indigenous communities and allies have long maintained that at Wounded Knee in 1890, U.S. soldiers didn’t fight a battle — they carried out a massacre. One hundred years later, Congress apologized to the descendants of the hundreds killed at Wounded Knee, but even today, 19 soldiers who participated in the atrocity are commended with the highest U.S. military award: the Medal of Honor. For a moment, it seemed a sliver of justice might finally be within reach and the medals would be revoked. In 2022, after decades of fervent organizing and advocacy, Congress and then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin began reviewing whether the medals should be rescinded. Earlier this year, Trump’s War Secretary, Pete Hegseth, slammed that door shut: “We’re making it clear [the soldiers] deserve those medals. This decision is now final.” But Hegseth’s wrong — he doesn’t have the final say. Congress can rescind the medals by passing Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Jill Tokuda’s Remove the Stain Act (S.1915, H.R.3609). Public pressure is a surefire way that we’ll force lawmakers to act against a misguided Defense Secretary like Pete Hegseth. Please speak out now.

Edgecombe County Manager Eric Evans said in a Nov. 12 interview with the Rocky Mount Telegram that Energy Storage Solutions expects “about 500 jobs” to be created by the project; in Data Center Knowledge, Shaffer said the development will “support more than 1,000 employees.” Evans also stated the sale will be 122 acres, while Shaffer said in Data Center Knowledge that the project will cover 300 acres.  The community group filed a public record request with the Edgecombe County attorney’s office Thursday for copies of the latest version of the project proposal to verify these unconfirmed latest numbers. Lack of information about jobs – how many will actually be created, whether these jobs will be permanent facility-based jobs or temporary construction jobs, and whether Edgecombe County residents will be prioritized in recruiting – is one of many major unknowns that have led activists to oppose of the county’s sale of the land to the developer. Kingsboro/Bulluck community resident and organizer Janice Bulluck said of the upcoming Dec. 1 vote, “I would hope the County Commissioners consider their moral obligation to their constituents with noise pollution, water usage and pollution, and other unknowns.” “In the long term, this is not going to be in the best interest for the residents,” Bulluck said.

Dallas F. Nicholas Sr. Elementary School is more than a place of learning  it is the heart of our community. Families rely on this school because it provides consistent support, stability, and a safe environment where every child is seen and valued. Closing this school would: • Disrupt students’ academic and emotional progress • Break the relationships children have built with trusted teachers and staff • Place stress on families who depend on the school’s resources • Undermine a community that has worked together to help students grow This school is inclusive, welcoming students of all backgrounds and abilities. It is collaborative, bringing families, staff, and educators together. And above all, it is supportive, offering encouragement and care that many children cannot find elsewhere. Our children deserve stability. Our families deserve choice. Our community deserves a school that stays open.

The Trump administration is illegally shifting agencies within the Department of Education  that oversee billions in support for our public schools, especially our most vulnerable students, to other departments with zero education expertise. This is an unprecedented and blatantly illegal move that will harm students across America -  Skyrocketing class sizes, cutting supports for students with disabilities, gutting job-training opportunities, and making for post-secondary education less accessible. Tell your elected representatives to stop the administration illegal efforts to destroy the Department of Education!

This petition aims to bring islamophobic harrassment and attacks to the attention of the University of South Florida administration. They need to speak up about such harrassment, and make it clear that this kind of violence will not be tolerated on campus. They also need to make sure that students feel safe and secure on campus so that they are able to excel and succeed in their studies.

Sens. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Tim Kaine (D-VA), and Rand Paul (R-KY) recently forced a vote on a War Powers Resolution (WPR) that would’ve BLOCKED Trump’s path to war with Venezuela. Unfortunately, 51 senators shamefully voted to ALLOW Trump to keep marching us to the brink of another war. If you’re outraged, you’re not alone. But as Trump continues to bomb first and ask questions later, this won’t be the last opportunity for Congress to assert its authority and pull us off the path to war. This fight isn’t over. If we are going to flip the handful of votes we need to build a majority of senators willing to exert their constitutional war powers and stop Trump from starting a new endless war, accountability can go a long way. That’s why these 51 senators need to hear from constituents like you.

The request for an academic audit of the Pediatric Nursing course is grounded in our responsibility as nursing students to ensure that our education meets the standards necessary for safe and competent clinical practice. Nursing programs are designed to build the critical thinking, clinical judgment, and professional confidence required to care for vulnerable populations—especially pediatric clients. When course structure, assessment methods, and instructional practices do not align with these goals, it undermines both student learning and future patient safety. This audit is important because it seeks to verify that the course adheres to Broward College’s academic standards, including alignment between lectures, assigned readings, syllabus objectives, program outcomes, and exam content. Consistency in these areas is essential for students to meet learning expectations and accurately demonstrate their knowledge. When misalignment occurs, students may struggle not due to lack of effort or ability, but because the instructional framework does not support their success. Furthermore, fair and transparent grading practices are essential to academic integrity. Students must receive consistent evaluation and constructive feedback to identify areas for improvement. Limited access to learning resources or unclear expectations can create inequitable barriers that negatively impact performance and morale. These issues diminish the reliability of assessments and hinder the development of accurate clinical judgment. Requesting an academic audit is not an act of opposition; it is an act of professionalism. It reflects our commitment to ensuring that the course prepares us for safe practice, NCLEX success, and ethical responsibility to our future patients. This review also supports the college in maintaining its reputation for delivering high-quality nursing education and responding appropriately to student concerns. Ultimately, this audit is important because it promotes transparency, protects educational integrity, and ensures that all students receive the structured, fair, and supportive learning environment they deserve. Our goal is to strengthen the course, enhance learning outcomes, and uphold the standards expected of a rigorous nursing program. By advocating for this review, we are acting in the best interest of current students, future cohorts, and the profession of nursing as a whole.

“This campaign is about more than records. It is about who we choose to protect in this country — and who we leave behind. For decades, the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein were denied the most basic promises America makes to its children: safety, truth, and justice. These women were forced to watch their own trauma become political ammunition, media spectacle, or something to be ignored because too many powerful people were implicated. When a nation fails to protect its most vulnerable, it betrays its own oath. Releasing the remaining records, within the law, matters because: 1. Justice cannot be selective. If justice bends for wealth, power, and influence, then there is no justice at all. What happens in this case sends a message to every girl in America about what her life is worth. 2. Silence has protected predators for far too long. Many individuals connected to Epstein’s abuse are still free, unexamined, and able to continue harming others. Transparency is the first step toward stopping cycles of exploitation. 3. The survivors deserve the truth they were denied. They carried their trauma alone. They lived through a system that failed to protect them. They watched a man who hurt them move through the world with privilege. The least this nation can offer is honesty. 4. Our children are watching. Every day these records remain sealed teaches girls that their safety and truth are negotiable. That is a generational wound. And America cannot allow another generation to inherit that message. 5. Democracy depends on trust in accountability. A society that prioritizes protecting the powerful over the vulnerable erodes the foundation of democracy. Transparency is not optional — it is a patriotic duty. 6. Because America made a promise. Liberty and Justice for All is not a slogan. It is an oath.”

Trump’s reckless plans to restart U.S. nuclear weapons testing could shatter a three-decade-long moratorium. It’s already kick-started a new phase of a deadly nuclear arms race as Russian President Vladimir Putin responds with threats to restart their testing programs. Don’t forget: A successful nuclear test means building a weapon capable of global ‘annihilation.’ The good news is that without funding, Trump’s testing plans can’t happen — meaning Congress has the power to stop this before the countdown begins. That’s where we come in. If we overwhelm Congress with demands to oppose nuclear weapons testing, we can stop this terrifying plan before Trump drags us any closer toward nuclear catastrophe.
