Every single Republican was present, so the only reason to postpone the vote is to wait until more Democratic absences. Inexcusable abuse of both the system and the participants.
Sometimes I can barely stand to be alive in this bizarro state of North Carolina, where otherwise thoughtful people seem to have lost their minds and morals. What I don't know is whether it's just my imagination. Is the NC GOP really that bad?
In one of his early campaign events, Joe Biden cautioned against painting the entire Republican party with the Trump tar brush. Biden says Trump himself is the problem, not the whole GOP. It's almost like he thinks Trump hypnotized everyone into being amoral traitors and liars. It's not really their fault? I can't quite buy it.
NC House unanimously votes for bill that make it a crime to drug someone's drink and makes it clear that an incapacitated person cannot give sexual consent. H393 now goes to #ncga Senate. #ncpol#wral
In case you haven't been paying attention, women are slowly (but surely) losing this war. If you're a state (or Federal) candidate and women's reproductive freedom is not in your top five platform issues, you need to do some re-arranging. Pronto.
Alternative to the alternate headline: one day of purported inconvenience is not worth long term impact to student/teacher outcome #nced#ncpolhttps://t.co/ZefDJGINQg
NC is having municipal elections in 2019. We NEED local level progressives running for board of elections, town council, mayor, and everything in between. Who are the progressives running in your town? #NCpol#BlueWave2019#ResistLocal
I am running for local office (again) this year, and hoping our voter turnout is closer to 20% instead of the barely 10% we got last time. It's hard to believe people could be so disinterested in their own community, but there it is. Take the time to get to know who's running in your local election, and what their priorities are. Because by the time something stupid gets done and shows up on your radar, it's probably too late.
#NCPol "..There were no compelling reasons to fire Staton, other than the longstanding and petty feud Harry Smith has had with the chancellor because he wouldn’t agree to a sweetheart real estate deal for Smith."
It's not like this was a "secret" feud, we've known about it for some time now. And yet, Republicans on the Board have kept him in that (unearned and clearly ill-advised) position of power in spite of that massive conflict of interest. And of course Republicans in the General Assembly have stood by and watched while their experiment in partisan manipulation has blown up the laboratory. Big, stinking mess.
