105 days. That’s how long North Carolina has gone without a state budget. Our communities, classrooms, and care workers are waiting while extremists play politics with people’s livelihoods. We deserve better. #NCEd #NCPol #LilliansListNC

The Trump administration promised to “make America healthy again." Yet North Carolina is set to lose $23 billion in federal Medicaid funding in the next decade. With 3 million North Carolinians relying on Medicaid, this affects all of us. We need action now.

The DNC is suing NC over a plan to purge 100K voters—because apparently democracy now comes with a voter eligibility scavenger hunt. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Allison Riggs won the NC Supreme Court by 734 votes. Judge Jefferson Griffin tried to discard 60,000 ballots from Democratic areas, military, and overseas voters. Courts shut him down—but your vote is still at risk. ✅ Check your registration.

In the NC Supreme Court race, Jefferson Griffin tried to claim 60,000 “fraudulent” voters (all from blue districts) stole the win from Justice Allison Riggs. Now Republicans are trying to quietly purge voter rolls. ✅ Check your registration. Don’t let the people who cry “fraud” commit it.

Equality does not destroy liberty. #ncpol #equality

To be clear: It’s not a culture war if only one side is losing rights.

Some states give you freedom. Some give you a felony for miscarriage. Same country.

Reminder: State lines shouldn’t decide your body’s worth.

If equality feels like oppression to you, you were probably benefiting from the imbalance. #ncpol

Reminder: fighting for equal pay and reproductive freedom shouldn’t still be considered radical.

Still waiting for the day when “women’s rights” isn’t followed by a debate.

Dear common sense, If you’re out there, please send help. —The United States

Women in NC: voting might not solve everything, but it sure beats watching the General Assembly do it for us. #ncpol

Trump is already planning his next Supreme Court pick—and loyalty may matter more than law. The future of abortion rights, voting access, and democracy itself could hang in the balance. #SCOTUS time.com/7305987/dona...

Today, the NC General Assembly meets to vote on whether to override Governor Stein’s vetoes on several bills impacting rights, education, and public policy. So far, Republicans have secured support from House Democrats to override 8 of the vetoes, including stripping NC’s renewable energy mandate.

If Governor Roy Cooper heads to the Senate, reproductive freedom gets a real ally in Washington. In NC, Cooper vetoed anti-abortion legislation, called out lawmakers for putting politics over patients, and stood firm for bodily autonomy — even when outnumbered. Imagine that energy in the Senate.

Abortion pills are being mailed to banned states by doctors in Massachusetts under shield laws, and they’ve helped over 12,000 people this year. Now states like Louisiana and Texas are trying to criminalize that care. This isn’t about safety, it’s about control. msmagazine.com/2025/07/25/a...

PSA: The FDA just warned against unapproved hormone treatments being sold to menopausal women. These meds aren’t proven safe—but they’re being marketed anyway. Women’s health deserves real science, not risky shortcuts. #MenopauseCare #WomensHealth msmagazine.com/2025/07/18/f...

We’ve had a ton of new friends join us this month, so we thought we’d reintroduce ourselves. Wanna learn more? Scan the QR code or visit the link in our bio.

Good to know North Carolina lawmakers are so obsessed with women’s health—by which we mean controlling it, not protecting it. www.wfae.org/health/2025-...

What happens behind ICE walls is a feminist issue. Women fleeing violence are locked in medical neglect, abuse, and fear—right here in the U.S. Read Rumeysa Öztürk’s testimony. Then ask: Who benefits from their silence? www.vanityfair.com/news/story/r...

NC’s governor just vetoed bills attacking DEI and trans rights—calling them mean-spirited. He’s right. But across the country, women’s rights are still on the chopping block. We’re not just asking for favors. We’re demanding a system that values all women. #ncpol

Cutting UN funding for women’s rights is like turning off the sprinklers during a drought—and then wondering why everything’s dry. Global gender equality isn’t optional. www.reuters.com/world/us/wom...

North Carolina is suing Trump’s Department of Education for freezing millions in school funding with zero warning. Freezing $168 million in funding is not fiscal responsibility, it’s a deliberate attack on public schools. Our students deserve investment, not sabotage. www.wunc.org/education/20...

Trump just froze $168.7 million for NC public schools. Here's what's at risk: — Cuts to teacher training & support — Cut resources for English learners — Less funding for after-school programs — Support for migratory students gutted NC students deserve investment, not political punishment.

July is Disability Pride Month — a time to honor the disability rights movement and recommit to the fight for equity, access, and justice. 34 years after the Americans with Disabilities Act, barriers still exist. Disability rights are civil rights. The work isn’t done. #DisabilityPrideMonth

While Republican leaders push to dismantle Medicaid, Democratic governors are stepping up to safeguard and expand it for the people who rely on it most. #KeepUsCovered #ProgressiveLeadership #NCPol

Our founders, founding board members, and legions of women before us didn't work this hard just to see their hard work dismantled by a federal government that values hate over people and power over equality. Rise up, Resist, Run for office.

FYI: Orange County Candidate Filing Delayed The Orange County Board of Elections is closed today (July 7) due to flooding. Candidate filing is delayed until the office reopens.

“Big Beautiful Bill?” More like Big Bad Bill. #politics #nc #bigbeautifulbill

Happy 4th of July. Enjoy your freedom while you can.

Happy 4th of July. Enjoy your freedom while you can.

🖤❤️💚 Today, we commemorate Juneteenth - the day in 1865 when the last enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, TX finally learned they were free, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

🚨 Have you heard about House Bill 127? It would make helping someone register to vote a crime in North Carolina. Want to help your sister fill out a voter registration form? You could be arrested. Seriously. This bill isn’t about “election integrity” - it’s about voter suppression.

Candidate filing for local elections opens in ONE MONTH - and your community needs you. Want to make real change where you live? It’s time to lead. It’s time to run. Your seat is waiting.

And they say women are too emotional to lead 🙄💅

✨ Hey, progressive women: Were you one of the 50K+ federal employees in NC fired by DOGE? You're not alone - and you're not done. If you’ve ever thought about running for office, now’s the time. We need bold, brilliant women like you leading the way. 💜

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍⚧️ At Lillian’s List, we don’t just celebrate our LGBTQ+ friends - we fight alongside them. We believe in a future where their voices are not just heard but leading the charge for justice and equality. 🌈 Because representation matters.

The DOJ just sued North Carolina—not to protect your vote, but to make it harder to cast one. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

ICYMI: Last week, NC Dems held a “Bill Funeral” for the 700+ bills that they introduced this session only to be ignored by the GOP. 🪦 These bills included funding for preventative cancer screenings, public education, & more. Let’s elect more progressive women & pass these bills! #ncpol #electwomen

The NC House Republicans have revealed their full budget, and it’s not pretty. It provides millions for fake “crisis pregnancy centers” that manipulate patients, while cutting funds to support small businesses, raising the UNC system’s tuition, and eliminating state government jobs. 😡 #ncpol
