The @NCGOP and @SenatorBerger are ok with NC allowing 14 year olds to marry, because they would rather force married children to carry babies than protect vulnerable young teens. This is wrong and needs to change. #endchildmarriage #ncpol – at North Carolina, USA
This morning I drove to Raleigh to testify before the Senate Judiciary committee at the #NCGA to ask them to raise the age of marriage to 18.
We have spent years collecting data and building up a broad collation of support from both sides of the aisle.
#ElizabethCity #AndrewBrownJr Please follow the lead of the local organizers calling for a peaceful protest to bring awareness and accountability for the excessive use of force, lack of transparency, and execution of Andrew Brown Jr. #ncpol – at North Carolina, USA
.@JoshStein_ it’s time for you to take over the murder case of #AnthonyBrown in #ElizabethCity since the county attorney can no longer be trusted with the transparency and respect this family and all North Carolinians deserve. #BLM #ACCOUNTABILITY #ncpol – at North Carolina, USA

.@LeaderMcConnell’s “not guilty” vote, based on his misplaced belief of the unconstitutionality of the trial, means he is dismissing the authority of the Senate, which determined by a vote that the trial was constitutional. 43 Senators don’t respect their own institution. – at North Carolina, USA

We thank @SenatorBurr for his vote of conscience. However, @SenThomTillis’ “not guilty” vote shows HE is not worthy of holding a position of authority and power as a Senator. He needs to go.

Notices of #COVID19 on campus have been going out regularly before* students have even returned to in person classes. This will only increase & put staff at risk, potentially closing schools again. @NC_Governor, @SecMandyCohen & @CTruittNCDPI prioritize staff vaccinations ASAP! – at North Carolina, USA
The CDC recommends 6 feet, physical barriers, AND ventilation improvements. We're not even talking about physical barriers and ventilation recommendations which is why vaccinations for staff are so important. #GiveUsAShot #Shots4SafeReturn @K_A_Sutton @Lindsay4Wake @RoxieCash3

Adjusting NC election rules last fall was one of the biggest stories here, making its way to #SCOTUS. Yet @RepCawthorn admits to @PamelaBrownCNN “I’m not aware of the laws that were changed inside of NC”. #NC11, and the rest of the country, deserve better. #SeditionCaucus #ncpol – at North Carolina, USA
.@_lucysherman, @DBattagliaNC, and @KateMurphyNews report that @BrianTurnerNC and @SenBillRabon have tested positive for #COVID19 after taking a hunting trip together with several other @NCGOP legislators as well as @RepCawthorn. #ncpol newsobserver.com/news/politi… – at North Carolina, USA
.@JoshStein_ here is @CawthornforNC encouraging the public to threaten members of Congress, and go after them. On a side note, he does not understand Congress is a separate branch of govt. as he proclaims to be on the “Trump Train”. He should be censured at a min. @NCSBE #ncpol – at North Carolina, USA
.@JoshStein_ another North Carolinian who participated in the insurrection at the Capitol. Can we please ensure these people are not eligible to run for office ever again? #Traitor #GOPSedition #ncpol @NCSBE – at North Carolina, USA
Sad to lose such a great leader in NC but excited to see the opportunities which lie ahead for @Michael_S_Regan and our country! Congratulations! #ncpol #EPA – at North Carolina, USA
Michael Regan helped advance my climate change executive order and worked to solve some of our toughest challenges. He has important work ahead of him, and I’m proud that President-elect @JoeBiden chose him for this position. - RC

Thank you @jeffbcdm & @Christine4Wake for helping expose the self serving intentions behind new charter school applications in Wake Co. Allowing them to target wealthy communities for their own benefit to the detriment of local public schools is abhorrent. @edstateboard_nc #ncpol – at North Carolina, USA
ICYM my recent @AlterNet article asking why charter schools are showing up in wealthy suburbs, it's now also at @LAProgressive. "The shifting policy justifications for charters don’t clearly explain why charter schools show up where they do." bit.ly/3mqqRUg

“The State of Texas’s motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections...” It’s over @GOP. – at North Carolina, USA

“In political science, the term coup refers to the illegitimate overthrow of a sitting government...The technical term for attempting to stay in power illegitimately—such as after losing an election—is self-coup or autocoup, sometimes autogolpe.” #TrumpCoup #ComplicitGOP #SpeakUp – at North Carolina, USA
