I stop by my Momma's house just about every day. The economic and public health crisis caused by COVID-19 is taking a toll on all of us. We must work to tackle this crisis with real solutions, humility, and hope. Please watch and share our new TV ad, Face:

Congratulations to ACC Coach of the Year, Jeff Capel! Well deserved! Your Dad and Grandfather are pleased as they tell one another, "I told you so!" Our old neighborhood is proud of you!

Ernest and I were proud to join Judge Jerry Blackwell as the UNC School of Law presented to him the Distinguished Alumnus Award. Congratulations to Judge Blackwell on the award and on his recent confirmation by the U. S. Senate to the U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota.

I co-chair the @ncjustice Board with Dean Melissa Essary. We lined up with Fayetteville friends to say goodbye at reception honoring departing Executive Director Rick Glazier! North Carolina is a better place to live, because of Rick’s seven years of dedicated service.

The next generation of Democratic leadership was in full view over the last few days. We are in good hands! Congratulations to @RepJeffries, @PeteAguilar, and @RepKClark! c-span.org/video/?c5050190/y…

Congratulations, @KyraHBolden for this historic and deserved appointment. I commend @GovWhitmer for making this choice for Michigan's Supreme Court. Progress made!

North Carolina and the nation have lost a great social justice champion with the passing of former NC NAACP President Dr. Anthony Spearman. Together we worked for a fair and impartial NC judiciary. My deepest condolences are extended to his family. Rest In Peace, Dr. Spearman.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said it wonderfully, “I am truly grateful to be part of the promise of our great Nation." AT LAST!! politico.com/news/2022/06/30…

As Co-Chair of the Board of @ncjustice, I had the pleasure of addressing the Mandela Fellows (@WashFellowship ) in their visit to NC. These young people are the future leaders of sub Saharan Africa.

I am glad to see progress made on this critical issue. We must continue to do what we can to protect our communities from gun violence.

As a former justice, it pains me to think of the damage this decision inflicts on the trust citizens place in our Courts. Many of these Justices agreed at confirmation that Roe was established precedent and today’s opinion calls the veracity of their statements into question.

Roe v. Wade is no longer the law of the land. Roe was and should have remained established precedent. The Courts should protect rights, not take them away. As a Justice, I carried that tenet with me throughout my career in every decision and case.

Today, I honor my husband, remember my late father, and celebrate all fathers and father-figures. Happy Father’s Day!

Giving Mother her "flowers" while she can enjoy them. The family honored the education legacy of our parents with the naming of The Timmons Seminar Room at the @UNCStoneCenter. I encourage everyone to read about the Stone Center and consider giving: stonecenter.unc.edu/about-us…
