thanksgiving

One of the leaders of this organization—a Chapter President and charter member for over a decade—is *current* Durham Police Lieutenant Sheldon Perkins. He is a Lieutenant in the Training Division. I @durhamnc.bsky.social @indyweek.bsky.social @theassemblync.bsky.social #ncpol

the best analysis you’ll see today. love to all who rolled up sleeves with @ncdemocrats.bsky.social. From Graham to CLT to Wilson to Wilmington to Wake Forest to Hickory to Burlington to Holly Springs to Jackson- Lewis- and Farm-ville to Burlington, victories beyond all expectation. #ncpol

A truly unhinged official statement tonight from @ncgop.bsky.social controlled NCBOE, doing nothing to account for today’s failure of the voter lookup tool, & so much to undermine further the professionalism and integrity of the office. #ncpol

North Carolinians are #blessed that @northcarolinagop.bsky.social has failed so virtuously, and on such high principle, to pass a budget, writes @ncgop.bsky.social operative Andrew Dunn. May we all express our thanksgiving in this season of plenty for such committed public servants. #ncpol

Wins are built in the “off” months: recruiting candidates, training volunteers, and running our Voter Assistance Hotline. We’re pushing to hit our end-of-quarter goal so we can scale that work in every county. Chip in to help us meet our goal! 👇 secure.actblue.com/donate/septe...

This post is going be more personal than my usual fare here, but I don’t really care. A few weeks ago, Jewish Insider reached out to some North Carolina Democratic Party leadership for comment on an Israel weapons embargo resolution pending before our 500+ member body. 🧵…

From a real agency of the real United States government now run by real totalitarian bootlickers of the modern MAGA GOP.

And we’re at war with Iran. Our country should have nothing more to do with Bibi’s authoritarian war machine. Truly a shameful day for our country in a succession of shameful days.

In which our “conservative” NC Supreme Court majority rules, true committed textualists that they are, that ‘Governor’ doesn’t mean ‘Governor,” the absurd implication being the legislature can vest the executive power howso/wheresoever it wants #ncpol

I do not know who needs to hear this, but please ask how the congratulations to Justice Riggs are to be presented before giving your personal information on a form from any third party purporting to be collecting it for that purpose #ncpol #commscandor

We won. Here’s to democracy in North Carolina. Here’s to Justice @allisonjriggs.bsky.social. Here’s to a @ncdemocrats.bsky.social capable of fighting and winning the toughest fights at the ballot box, in the field, and in the courtroom 🇺🇸 #ncpol

to every North Carolinian who would not stand idly by and watch Republicans dismantle democracy, and to our champion, Justice Allison Riggs. 3/

This moment belongs to all of us - to every voter who deserves confidence that their voice will be heard when they cast their ballot, to every military voter who spoke out when their rights were under attack, 2/

VICTORY: Today, a US District Court ordered Justice Allison Riggs' victory to the NC Supreme Court be certified.

NCDP First Vice Chair @jonahgarsonnc.bsky.social will be here all week! Don’t forget to tip the wait staff! He is keeping spirits up during a day long training for NCDP County Officers @ncdemocrats.bsky.social Pam’s working even on a day off from organizing with @grassrootsdemhq.bsky.social

It’s time. For 5 months, the GOP has tried to overturn the election of @AllisonJRiggs to steal a seat on the NC Supreme Court. If a cure process goes into effect, daily calls and canvasses start on Saturday. Sign up. Spread the word. All hands on deck. www.mobilize.us/ncdems/event...

“We are all afraid [. . .] It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. I’ll tell you, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.” GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski

MAGA House leader Rep Hudson told colleagues to avoid town halls critical of DOGE grift, dismissing them as the work of “paid troublemakers.” 🐓 On 4/24, join us for a People’s Town Hall in his district Contrary to the bootlicking bs,💰isn’t part of the deal #ncpol www.mobilize.us/ncdems/event...

North Carolina, we deserve better than this. Jefferson Griffin is still trying to throw away enough of our ballots to overturn the 2024 election. Share this post to spread the word. We will not be silenced.

Read my statement on the Supreme Court's decision to selectively disenfranchise members of the military serving our country, military families, foreign service officers, missionaries, and other NC voters who faithfully followed the rules communicated to them in the 2024 election:

This is a democracy - and we will use every tool provided to us by the constitution of these United States to uphold the will of the people. Support the effort to protect every vote at ncdp.org/protect

BREAKING: GOP-controlled NC Supreme Court just threw out overseas ballots and mandated an “impossible to administer” 30 day-cure period for military voters to hand Jefferson Griffin the election he lost.

fun for the whole family. great work from our @ncdemocrats.bsky.social staff. ncdp.org/quiz #ncpol

fun post-St Patty’s day fact I just learned: ‘boycott’ came into our lexicon from an Irish boycott of a *Captain Charles Boycott,* English land agent, in a campaign for fair rent and land sale practices in 1880. Apologies to my labor org father & fam for this gap in my edu. ☘️

Bladen County Precinct Organizing 2025 Bladen Dems have been through a lot in their rural county in the past decade, including a stolen congressional election, board of elections dysfunction and reform, a redo of the stolen election (2019, when I first came to Bladen as Voter Protection Director).

A true town hall with true Western North Carolina leaders. #ncpol

“NCGOP legislators working for @dukeenergy.bsky.social give them a perpetual license to unilaterally screw all who pay ⚡️bills in NC. And then do it again.” High prices, a terrible market, benefit cuts, & higher ⚡️ bills, all brought to us by NCGOP & their tiny DOGE figleaves. 🍃 #ncpol

Meet Crystal Upchurch, one of over a thousand who came to Raleigh for our @ncdemocrats.bsky.social Anti-#Doge Rally to make her voice heard. Part 1 of many. #ncpol

This is Trump’s economy.

today’s anti-doge rally, Raleigh, NC. proud of our @ncdemocrats.bsky.social and our partners who helped bring this off. proud of folks willing to sweat it out in giant Trump and Elon puppets. #ncpol

My mentor Paul Wellstone always said, “You can remake the world daily.” It’s on us to make a difference in Americans’ lives.

I’m sure all the people losing their retirement, jobs, and health care because of Trump are glad to see the White House turned into a car dealership for the richest man on the planet.

Terrifying, indefensible.

Dem Party-led protest & direct action is growing in every corner of NC—not just metros. Scene from “red” Brunswick County this Thurs, where the @brunswickdemparty.bsky.social organized ~300 demanding action from Rep Rouzer against the MAGA/Doge grift. Here’s to parties w backbone & fight. #ncpol

Edgecombe Dems hosted us here 2 years ago after our election as @ncdemocrats.bsky.social officers. They were rebuilding from scratch. Last night, we came back to the same room, now packed. Edgecmbe is a year-round organizing op w/ an office in downtown Tarboro. Proud of this crew. #ncpol

join us #ncpol

GOOD MORNING FROM THE MCDOWELL COUNTY DEMS. McDowell was hit hard by Helene. The good: Community rallied The bad: Students lost a school The ugly: Instead of getting students back in their school, the new MAGA school board is banning book. #ncpol #WNC #Helene

In the only undecided race in the country, GOP Judge Jefferson Griffin wants a now-colleague of his who donated $5,000 to his legal defense fund to be eligible to hear his election protest. #ncpol andersonalerts.substack.com/p/riggs-coa-...

building a @ncdemocrats.bsky.social capable of fighting & winning the toughest fights at the ballotbox, in the field, & in the courtroom has been a collaborative effort, and a ton of hard work. Grateful to be with this crew for another term. #ncpol

Proud of the organization we’ve built together. Proud to be re-elected First Vice Chair of our @ncdemocrats.bsky.social #ncpol
