2. PRIME-PREP
One of Duke's "signature diversity initiatives"
This NIH funded program "provides focused research training opportunities for students from backgrounds historically underrepresented in science and medicine"
The NIH definition of "Underrepresented Populations" includes women, non-White/non-Asian racial groups, people with disabilities, and people from disadvantaged backgrounds
I believe a claim has been filed regarding this program with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR)
After an OCR complaint against 12 universities, including Duke, for partnering with programs only open to applicants "gender-identify[ing] as female or non-binary", Duke claimed the event was opened to participant of any gender (or gender "identity") donoharmmedicine.org/2023/05/22/duk…
5. Black Men in Medicine
Another OCR complaint has been filed against Duke for a racially exclusive initiative convened by the Vice Dean for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion to benefit black male faculty donoharmmedicine.org/2023/05/25/ano…
6. Racial Justice Task Force
Created by the Duke University School of Nursing (DUSON) Dean's Office and Office of Diversity & Inclusion

As revealed by @EdFirstNC, the director of the Duke Center for Child and Adolescent Gender Care, Dr. Deanna Adkins, was quoted in a 2016 interview as having "transgender patients as young as 2"
A more recent pro-trans article highlighted 16-year-old "Maddie", who was first socially transitioned by her mother at the age of six, then later received "puberty blockers" at the university's child gender clinic
In response to an NC law last year banning "surgical gender transition procedures" on minors, Duke Health held a "safe and supportive space" for the "wide range of reactions and emotions" being experienced
1/10 Patriot Front is a white nationalist group known for their performative vandalism and costume-coordinated marches
But are they all feds? The case of a North Carolina member who was just arrested and charged may be illuminative

(This would presumably be PF, but it's not confirmed)
1/ Let's break down how the ActBlue zombie-donors/smurphing/political contribution laundering appears to work, based on my boots-on-the-ground experience investigating it here in NC

1/ You may know Roy Cooper as the mild-mannered NC governor who's a top VP pick for Kamala Harris
I know him as the tyrant who trampled our rights and had demonstrators arrested for opposing his executive orders while he himself did a photo op at BLM protest
🧵
2/ On March 14, 2020, Gov. Cooper issued Executive Order No. 117 banning gatherings of more than 100 in a "confined indoor or outdoor space"
The order was written to prohibit church services, but not office spaces, malls, or retail establishments governor.nc.gov/documents/file…
3/ However, Cooper hit a snag three days later when attempting to issue another executive order to prohibit dine-in customers from bars and restaurants
Under NC law, the governor can only exercise certain emergency powers with the concurrence of the Council of State
