CNN on State Superintendent candidate Michele Morrow: GOP nominee to run North Carolina public schools called for violence against Democrats, including executing Obama and Biden

If Tricia Cotham feels endangered because folks are yelling at her in Target, she now knows a quarter of the fear her constituents are living with now that she’s aligned with the anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ+, pro-school shooting right
It’s the hottest day of the month so far and an NC State student walked 40 minutes to the
@NCDemParty
HQ to join us in calling on Tricia Cotham to resign. We’re fired up, y’all!! You ain’t ready for us in ‘24
North Carolina consistently saw lower death rates than the rest of the South. The 1st map is 2020 and the 2nd map is 2021.
Look at which states suffered the most and tell me it wasn’t Republican leadership that killed people. Get real.
Pray for our country. As a member of the NC Council of State, my observation is that the actions of Dr.Mandy Cohen during Covid resulted in more disease, death, poverty and illiteracy. As NC Governor,I would be hard pressed to ever follow her lead at CDC if chosen by the POTUS.

love that our vp stayed to talk to ✨ dozens ✨ of young dems after speaking to us about what’s at stake in november

To the daughters of NC GOP legislators who tried everything they could to convince their mothers and fathers that their autonomy and safety matters—that it’s worth standing up to the voter base that scares them and to the donors that fund them: you deserve better. I’m so sorry.
What gets me about this is that SB20 isn’t even remotely popular. Polling shows that the vast majority of NCians oppose it. The GOP is fighting the *public* like hell for a bill that will (a) harm NC women now and (b) hurt themselves at the polls in ‘24. Make it make sense y’all.

nc doesn't do ballot initiatives. abortion rights in the south are in the hands of our gop supermajority and gov cooper is our *last line of defense*
we can't let mark robinson—who promised a full abortion ban—to be our next governor

We are proud to announce that we have Democrats running in 118 out of 120 House districts and in all 50 Senate districts! While we take a moment to celebrate, we also know that we have a lot of work to do. We’re in this fight together and we’re going to win.
We all knew it was coming.
@triciacotham
—I hope you know your Republican friends can't draw you out of the fight coming your way next November. Don't get comfortable.
Breaking: NC Democratic lawmaker Rep. Tricia Cotham is expected to switch her party affiliation to Republican, handing NC Republicans a legislative supermajority and the votes to override D Gov. Roy Cooper mid-legislative session.
#ncpol
media outlets are writing about how crazy mark robinson is because he is crazy, and they are not writing about how crazy josh stein is because he is normal
i hope this helps
Tricia Cotham's flip was not a surprise to many of us.
There were Dems who tried to silence the folks sounding the alarm about her sharp shift right instead of doing literally anything about it—but they knew.
We're not just going to watch that happen again. We know better.

We did it, y’all! We WON our union election 20-12!
Our collective power overcame intense union busting, and that same strength will propel our organizing for a union contract to build a better REI Durham.
Thank you to everyone who had our backs — we will go further together 🫶

speaks during a news conference outside the Democratic headquarters in Raleigh calling for Rep. Tricia Cotham to resign after she switched parties, giving Republicans an outright supermajority in both chambers of the state legislature.
Hey residents of Harrisburg, NC! Your town council just voted to fill a councilmember vacancy without allowing for any public comment, a move they’ve been rather transparently setting up for weeks. Here’s how they did it and why you should be concerned: 🧵
working on Anderson’s campaign remains the work I’m most proud of. she built a movement of change in our party and I was proud to bring it a visual identity that folks could connect with 💛

@ElijahJMears
worked and created a website so beautiful that it encompassed everything to make a young person look professional and taken seriously. folks kept asking, “are you running for state chair or congress?”
if you don’t live in a state that’s currently amidst a republican “election integrity” crusade, you might not see the threat rhetoric like this poses to the voting rights of marginalized/vulnerable voters
word choice matters. don’t help the gop undermine faith in our elections
NC's Dems have spoken clearly for their belief in a brighter future for our party. Last year, the idea of

I will never forget the way my 5th grade teacher fought back her tears when my classmates wouldn't quiet during a lockdown. It was a drill, but we had no way to know. When the police opened our door to clear us, she screamed in terror.
We deserve better.
Today I was proud to stand with Gov.

Make no mistake: The GOP wants a national abortion ban.

As the youngest state party chair in the country, Chair Clayton's trailblazing leadership has put NC front and center for 2024.
Speaking about how the NCDP has failed is not baseless negativity. It is the truth and it is a crisis.
You can tell me that it is a moral failure that I am speaking out in frustration but you will not stop me from speaking.
Disappointed but not surprised to find some folks on the left I held in high esteem completely unable to address the US response to Russian aggression with a even a drop of nuance.
Incredibly honored to tell y’all that I was elected as an at-large member of the DNC Youth Council this morning. I can’t wait to help the young people of the Southern region raise our voices in this party 💙

last cycle we scared the gop by getting two more dems on the school board so they got the state legislature to make those races partisan—we’re showing them it ain’t that easy to keep us out ‼️
Gov. Roy Cooper called for a rally to apply pressure on Republican lawmakers to uphold his expected veto of Senate Bill 20, which would tighten restrictions on abortion in NC.
y’all if the first time i hear of your organization is in a text message asking me for money, you have already lost
nc sees pretty much every national org come through our turf at some point each cycle and i’m not giving you money if i can’t name not one thing you’ve done here
girl if you can read well enough to get online and post on x formerly twitter dot com you can read the part of the voter registration form where it asks for both your mailing *and* residential address
Did you know “residence” in North Carolina by the NCBoE is defined as “where you sleep” but it’s not illegal to use a P. O. Box as your address when registering to vote. Can you sleep in a P. O. Box?
