Earlier this month we conducted a poll. When presented with unbiased bios and policies lifted directly from our websites, we are essentially tied!This district is winnable! Go to paulbarringer.com to get involved! #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol #nc13

We’re in a time where people already have to stretch their dollars beyond what is reasonable and now we’re having folks say that the hurt the American consumer is experiencing is the “least of their concerns right now?” That’s a slap in the face to the American people. #nc13 #ncpol

Excited to announce another endorsement of our campaign. @ydnc.bsky.social is the oldest chapter of @youngdems.bsky.social in the country. To have their endorsement is a huge honor. Thank you! #paulbarringer #paulbarringerfornc13 #ncpol

Governor Jim Hunt was nothing short of an icon in NC politics. An absolute legend loved by many. His death is a huge loss to our state. Our thoughts are with his family and Lt. Governor Rachel Hunt. Rest in Peace. Former NC Gov. Jim Hunt dead at 88 www.wral.com/news/state/n...

Thank you so much to the Democratic Women auxiliary of Johnston County Dems for having me at their Friendsgiving Potluck! It was a great time! #paulbarringerfornc13 #paulbarringer #ncpol

Can already see it tomorrow: NYT OPINION: Last night was a great night for Dems. Here’s why that’s bad for them.

LETS. FUCKING. GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A moment of silence for all the refreshing buttons being pushed to their limits tonight.

Ahhh yes. Anyway, where are the Epstein files?

I’m surprised Witkoff managed to get that sentence out with how much he’s choking on Trump’s c- Hold on I’m being told by our advisors to not finish the previous sentence

Earlier today we wrapped up a great episode (that bridges multiple state lines) w/ TX State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer @tmftx.bsky.social about what's been going on in TX and how NC can help. Go to OneTexas.org to help the TX Dems fight back against this attack on our democracy. #ncpol #txpol

Thank you @leftofoldnorth.bsky.social for having me on your podcast. I enjoyed the opportunity to dive into what its been like to represent and invest in rural Eastern North Carolina. #ncpol #LeftofOldNorth #HD27 youtu.be/uGMV6osVe0s?...

🚨 New Ep Out Now! 🚨 Watch or listen to Rep. Rodney Pierce (NC HD-27) @pierce4nchouse.bsky.social about living through history, holding the line in the General Assembly, and why Dems can’t afford to ignore the 252. 🎧 Listen/watch here: youtu.be/uGMV6osVe0s #leftofoldnorth #ncpolitics #ncga #ncpol

Just keep this as a reminder blogs.edf.org/climate411/2...

ROY COOPER IS LEADING in the first first poll for the #ussenate seat up for grabs here in North Carolina. The GOP is going to have to try a lot harder to beat Cooper statewide. #ncpol #ncpolitics #ncdemocrats

Carla Cunningham was the one vote Republicans needed to overturn Governor Josh Stein's veto on a bill that allowed ICE even more power in our state. Looks like we've got another DINO #democratinnameonly that we need to primary next year. Mecklenburg seems to have a fake Democrat problem. #ncpol

🚨 JUST DROPPED: Our interview with Chuck Hubbard @chuck.hubbardforcongress.com , the Democrat running in NC-5. We talk rural WNC, why Virginia Foxx has got to go, and what it takes to fight back in deep-red districts. 🎧 Listen now: youtu.be/RJZisn6ysOc #ncpol #firefoxx #nc05 #wncpolitics

Uvalde is everywhere. And people wonder why parents don't trust SROs and POs to save their kids.

Lol nothing's gonna stop the Royride

We’re at the @ncdemocrats.bsky.social Unity Dinner Fmr. Gov Roy Cooper: “Everybody who is running next year please stand up….. Well I’m not sitting down am I?” #ncdems #leftofoldnorth #ncpol #senate #cooperforsenate

Now that Roy Cooper has announced, Wiley Nickel has bounced. He's going to be running for Wake County DA, and this clears the field for Roy Cooper to run for Thom Tillis's old US Senate seat. #ncpol #roycooper

Looks like former NC Gov #roycooper is getting set to throw his hat in the ring for US Senate. Axios is reporting that he’ll be announcing next week, though I think he might announce at the #ncdp Unity Dinner. We’ll see. Exciting times. #ncpol #fyp #leftofoldnorth #dems #ncdems #midterms #ussenate

In case you're wondering what it's like over on the everything app

The #GOP knows that the “Big Beautiful Bill” will hurt millions of Americans. So what do they do? They try to delay the effects of it until AFTER the midterms.They’ll try and hide this as much as they b/c they know how unpopular it is. #leftofoldnorth #ncpol #dems #dnc #budget #midterms #politics

We're inspired by @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and his historic victory in NYC. Now's the time to take notes and learn from this for the good of North Carolina. Read about it here >> open.substack.com/pub/leftofol... #ncpol #progressive #ZohranMamdani

If I had a nickel for every time a Republican president got us into a pointless war in the Middle East during the 21st century using nonexistent WMDS as justification I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but ITS SO FUCKING DUMB THAT IT HAPPENED TWICE RIGHT?

“Tasted a little tear gas. Tasted like fascism.”

In our best Aaron Parnas voice. Breaking News: The girls are fighting

Pride Month in North Carolina Means Fighting Back. Every. Damn. Year. Our latest episode dives into the latest anti-LGBTQ+ bills in North Carolina — and how the NCGA is also trying to criminalize voter registration drives. 🎙️ Listen now. #ncpol #LGBTQRights #Pride2025 youtu.be/RuzkeX5Rm2w

The members of the NCGA don’t make nearly as much as people think. Just a little under $14,000. What they do make is very much a barrier to everyday people being able to run for office. The people of NC deserve full time legislators and full time representation. #ncga #ncpol #leftofoldnorth #ncdp

The #ncgop in the #ncga know they can’t win based on policy. So what do they do? Their favorite pastime, make a power grab. Transferring power over the Board of Elections from the Governor to the State Auditor is just another way to cut the margins of our democracy. #ncpol #ncdems #ncdp #vote

This week we talked to WCU professor @chriscooperwcu.bsky.social about #ncpol and he echoed some of our same concerns about what the #griffinvriggs case did to people’s faith in our election system. #ncpol #leftofoldnorth #ncdems #fyp #ncdp #congress #ncsupremecourt #jeffersongriffin #allisonriggs

We sat down with @chriscooperwcu.bsky.social - one of the sharpest voices in #ncpol - to talk about his book, "Anatomy of a Purple State", unaffiliated voters, and why certain races in 2026/2028 will be extremely important. This is a must-listen! leftofoldnorth.substack.com/p/a-conversa...

There was too much to talk about. We had to upload a bonus episode, and it's dropping today at 4 EST. We talk about the Big Stupid Bill, the awful NC Budget, We even call our Senators, and much much more. Tune in to watch live: youtu.be/bABgm12ORI0 #ncpol #thomtillis #tedbudd #ncga

Knowing NC troopers, we'll never see them enroll until they're pulling us over

This isn't just stupid, it's malicious. "To be able to remove people from this country" is a clear indicator that her department and this administration fully intend to keep detaining and deporting CITIZENS. CITIZENS. 🗣️📢 AMERICAN CITIZENS
