Early voting starts today in North Carolina, so this seems as good a time as any for some personal news:
I’m in North Carolina for 2024 to manage
@NatashaMarcusNC
’s campaign for NC Insurance Commissioner!
🚨BIG: VP Kamala Harris joined youth activists today for an organizing training in North Carolina!
The Biden-Harris ticket knows that Gen Z is the margin of victory and are working hard to earn our votes.
@GovCox
The audacity to post this could really only be possessed by a member of today’s modern GOP, a party defined by their hate, fear, and disrespect of anyone who doesn’t look and think just like them.
Shame on you,
@SpencerJCox
. You’re just like the rest of them.
This is a devastating, humiliating step for the state of Utah - caving to the new Republican party: one that is defined by hate, fear, and division.
@SpencerJCox
, you failed your state. You failed your constituents. You failed us. Shame on you.
Gov. Spencer Cox signed Utah's anti-DEI bill.
Many of the prohibitions in it are things the governor has previously heralded while in office ...
-diversity trainings for staff
-signing statements on inclusion
-scholarships for students of color
Amongst some of the proposals for a second Trump Admin:
- end surrogacy
- end no fault divorce
- invoke the insurrection act to stop protests
- end sex education in schools
- stop policies that “subsidize single motherhood”
it’s wild that a quarter of our whole country is predisposed to the most insane conspiracies imaginable because of the former president just completely breaking their brains
Want to come beat some of the worst Republicans in the nation and organize with the future of the Democratic party and progressive movement?
It’s all happening in North Carolina - come work in the center of the universe.
I’ve waited too long to make this announcement! The
@NCDemParty

Marianne decided not to drop out but if you go to her actblue it says she is suspending her campaign so I guess they really were dropping out until... well ya know..
Extremely earnest thank you and congratulations to
@KatherineJeanes
@doriannpalmer
@TheGurtling
and the entire
@ydnc
team for putting together an excellent convention this weekend.
North Carolina YDs, you are in extremely capable hands with this leadership team!

So sad to learn of Kurt’s death. He was boisterous, devoted, and always a blast to see at campaign events across the state. He was a friend to everyone he met, and he was a committed fighter for his beliefs.
Thinking of him tonight.
Wow, this blew up! Queer kids like TJ and Cyrus in North Carolina need your support. Mark Robinson, the likely GOP nominee for NC Governor, said that “God formed” him to fight against LGBTQ people.
Democrats need your help to defeat him.
Pitch in:
I’m incredibly proud to work for
@NatashaMarcusNC
— not only is she a passionate fighter for her constituents today in the NC Senate (see below!), but her experience and qualifications will make her an incredibly capable Insurance Commissioner, something NC lacks today.
Shout out to State Senator
@NatashaMarcusNC
(Democrat from Mecklenburg) who broke down the "crisis pregnancy center" scam the abortion banners rammed through in North Carolina's state budget this year.

i’m driving cross-country right now and am just awestruck by how much water there is east of the continental divide. easterners, y’all gotta share some of this, you’ve got way too much!

@InnocentEricson
That didn’t happen without a massive caucus program, organizing initiative, and messaging campaign to democratic delegates — and it was initiated by the McMullin campaign, not by UT party brass. would be an immense undertaking for Angus King to do when he’s likely to win anyways.

@DiscussingFilm
They’re referring to the minimum wage for actors here, which is a variable rate set by the union for both day players and series regulars.
While those rates are not minimum wage, they have to support and sustain actors even when they’re not working!
Rick Scott: “I don't know why any Jewish person would support Democrats.”
“They're not holding — the Biden administration is not holding Hamas accountable and they’re trying to get more money to Gaza..which gives money to terrorists”
Congratulations to the incomparable
@kimagyekum

, DeJuan Stevens, and Spencer Black.
The future of this org is strong. Thank you to folks who joined us for convention today and we hope to see you tomorrow for our OYD Brunch 💙
Mike Johnson sitting down as the President speaks of making sure third graders can read is emblematic of everything Republicans stand for: “just not what Biden wants!”
The GOP stands for nothing but Donald Trump.

@AndrewDLewis
you have so dramatically missed the point
shoutout , because no one should get a good night’s rest on pillows fluffed with unfair labor practices.
Actors and writers are striking because if we don’t, corporate millionaires will keep refusing to give us our fair share of the work we create.
I’ll see you on the picket line.
