Well, at least one of the the J6 rioters is taking responsibility. So, there’s still hope. #January6th #J6 #Resist www.mediaite.com/media/news/j...

This s is my Governor. He’s sensible. Pragmatic. Had the interests of ALL his constituents at heart. #NorthCarolina #ncpol

So Dr. Makaty is lying here. During Covid, it was rare to have a false positive. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands people got sick and died. Only after Covid was a false positive more probable because less people were getting sick of Covid. This is insane talk. #Resist #Covid #ncpol

Are you angry about the current administration’s attacks on trans rights? The ACS National Convention Series kicks off next week! This free, five-week virtual event will spotlight how advocates are taking action on issues like these. ➡️ www.acslaw.org/get-involved... youtube.com/shorts/x-ZMG...

It sickens me that a first generation could intentionally seek to harm foreigners who are seeking a safe place to live, a better life, or simply, an education. IMO Rubio never understood what it meant or means to be an American. #Visas #Rubio #VoteBlue

It never ends with the GOP. If you can’t win on the merits, rig the game. More North Carolinians voted for Democrats than Republicans in by 2024. But for gerrymandering, North Carolina would be blue as would the House of Representatives in DC. #NorthCarolina #Resist #ncpol #VotingRights

This is a good way to put it … keep on it #Resist

Honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. 🇺🇸 #SomberMemorialDay

This is awful. The United States still has a racism problem. Pass it on. #GeorgeFloyd #GOP #ncpol

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

North Carolina voted for Trump three times in a row. Hurricane Helene caused a billion dollars in damages. Repairing infrastructure and helping people get back on their feet (many who voted for Trump) will now be delayed indefinitely. Oh, and NC GOP fully supports Trump. #NorthCarolina #ncpol #ncga

This is horrible. The number one purpose of government is to create a safe environment for its people. Trump, the GOP, and DOGE are complete failures in this regard. #Resist #GOP #Trump #DOGE

No surprise here. And our state GOP fully supports this. #NorthCarolina #ncpol #ncga #VoteBlue

The number of violations of the code of professional conduct is epic especially on the attacks on the legal profession and intentional violations of due process of law. Bondi and any attorney involved should be investigated and appropriately sanctioned. #RuleOfLaw #ABA #Attorneys

People, this is serious. It’s slightly better than 25% of the state’s population. This is going to cost state taxpayers a fortune. #NorthCarolina #Resist #ncpol #ncga

My integrity and the integrity of all election staff at the precinct, county staff and state level is being attacked because North Carolina's GOP brought into Trump's claims @ncpol.bsky.social @chriscooperwcu.bsky.social @bowtiepolitics.bsky.social @joshsteinnc.bsky.social @roycooper.bsky.social

Best evidence of how racist and homophobic the current administration is. Take a moment to scan books banned by the Trump administration. Then ask yourself, don’t our future military leaders deserve to learn and understand the challenges ordinary people face? History? #Trump #NavslAcademy

Spot on assessment by @markrodin.bsky.social on the Griffin case which delayed the Riggs win in the NC Supreme Court. Republican jurists and legislatures attack on our elections is unjustified, literally. #ncpol #NorthCarolina #AllisonRiggs

This is how Trump sucksas his MAGA base while ripping them off, making them less safe, and thus, less free. They actually believe he’s doing something that benefits them. #Resist #Trump

This people …

The GOP should be ashamed… #J6 #January6th #ncpol

We know. They gave you immunity.

This people … #SCOTUS

Strangely, the conservative justices suggest a class action is better than a national injunction for an illegal act violating a group of people’s constitutional right. In class actions, you have to find the plaintiffs, provide notice, and give them to opt out. Not the same. Not close. #SCOTUS

NC House budget requires UNC Board of Governors to raise tuition rates to generate an additional $30 million in revenue. Leg staff says it could lead to a 2-3% tuition increase depending on how BOG implements it for undergrads & grad students. #nced #ncpol #ncga

Finally. A judge told the North Carolina Republican Party, “Not on my watch.” Now, it’s time for the rest of us to vote them out. #RuleOfLaw #NorthCarolina #ncpol #VoteBlue

Tariffs bring so little revenue and it’s a direct tax on US consumers. #TrumpTariffs #Tariffs More here: usafacts.org/articles/wha...

Our current situation … #Resist #RuleOfLaw

I didn’t think this was true but @snopes.com confirmed it was: Oklahoma will teach its young students debunked 2020 election fraud theories, ie, The Big Lie #BigLie #RuleOfLaw #Resist www.snopes.com/fact-check/o...

We cannot forget. The electorate can never forget. Let’s remind them from today until Election Day the attack on individual rights perpetrated by Republicans. #NorthCarolina #ncpol #ncga

It’s more than what Sherilyn wrote below. Listen to her full interview to understand the attack on large swaths of our society and the disrespect — it’s really more than that — involved. #DEI #Resist #ncpol #Woke

So far, I like him … #PopeLeoXIV

We saw this kind of conduct during the protests in Washington DC where police hid their credentials, masked their faces, and abused power. ICE’s conduct is next level and puts us in danger. Yet, we must persevere. #Resist #VoteBlue #RuleOfLaw

Judge Griffin’s concession in Supreme Court contest doesn’t undo the damage he inflicted  ncnewsline.com/2025/05/08/j... (audio commentary) #ncpol #ncga #nc

Republicans sure know how to hurt hard working middle class Americans. Pass it on … #Wisconsin #Resist #VoteBlue

And this kid is happy because the new Pope is from the South Side of Chicago! Woot woot South Side! #PopeLeoXIV #Chicago #SouthSide chicago.suntimes.com/religion/202...

Registration for our virtual Convention series is open. And all 👀 are on the states! Programming will examine how states are responding to pressing issues around immigration, democracy and voting, economic and racial justice, and transgender rights. www.acslaw.org/get-involved...

And all the Republican judges who heard the case but two were going to give the election to Griffin. Shameful. #NorthCarolina #ncpol #RuleOfLaw

The only “integrity issue” involves Griffin, the Republican court of appeals justices, the Republican NC Supreme Court justices (but one), and the NCGOP and their attack on citizens’ constitutional rights. They should be disciplined by the state bar to protect its integrity. #NorthCarolina #ncpol

Great reporting here. Make sure to read the big picture” statement at the end. #NorthCarolina
