Republican men are degrading women and shooting themselves in the foot.👇
How can Veterans still support this administration? Please explain. #NCpol
Incredible, but true: Donald Trump threatened to block medical claims for U.S. military veterans stemming from toxic water contamination at Camp Lejeune if Republicans don't hold control of the House and Senate in this year's elections. Full story: www.military.com/trump-says-n...
Some of us knew what the song was before we hit play. It still brings this country girl to tears. #CountryRoads #JohnDenver
"The modeling of power over women." Men, please watch this video. Republicans are using you to gain political power. #StopSexualAssault
I wrote this article; it made me sick. Everyone in authority failed to protect these kids. A convicted sex offender was arrested, then walked free and found another victim. #StopDomesticAbuseMonth #StopSexualAssault #StopProtectingPedophiles
We've put together a timeline of the documented We've put together a timeline of the documented events, court proceedings, and unanswered questions. Read the full article and decide for yourself.
Republicans love supporting pedophiles. Vivek Ramaswamy thought an ad with Amy Acton's estranged mother would make Amy look bad? Amy's mother married a pedophile and then sided with him in court after he sexually abused her daughter. Read her brother's response to the ad. #StopSexualAssault
I haven't forgotten. #NCpol
[NEW] The Forgotten, Expensive Lessons of 2009 The 2008-2009 Great Recession is 17 years ago now, and the lessons it imparted might be forgotten today as North Carolina considers a proposed constitutional amendment on its income tax. More: carolinaforward.org/news/the-for...
Finally, a man who gets it. #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth
Everyone loses if the three NC Amendments pass. #NCpol
Everyone is focusing on Trump, but it's the man behind the throne we need to worry about. What happens next? Maybe this will give you an idea. #TheShadowPresident
This is a great conversation starter about Social Security. #WorkingPeople #SocialSecurity
Thank Republicans for a long cold winter. #NCpol
Fixed income seniors are just one of the groups trying to figure out where to get the extra several hundred dollars they'll need to fill their tank this year. LIHEAP is a program that helps people pay heating bills when money is tight. Trump tried to defund it. #nc #heatingoil
From the 1990s: Some things haven't changed. #Corporations #StateRunTV

College students walking 40 minutes to vote. Judge Toby Hampson is with them. #NCpol
UNCG, A&T, Bennett and Greensboro College students walked to the polls yesterday. Here’s just UNCG students leaving campus to walk the 40 minutes to their new polling location. You’ll recognize a familiar face with them — Judge Toby Hampson! ⬇️ #SpartansVote
Inspiring. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. #DomesticViolence #Matriarchy
Women are set up by systems men put in place. If you never felt supported, listen to this honest talk from a Canadian journalist. #IamEnough

Today is National Farmer's Day! As a fourth-generation farmer, I know how hard it is to run a small business, especially when four companies control 85% of the beef industry. I will fight for policies that give small farms a fair shot to thrive here in Western North Carolina. #SupportSmallFarms
Remembering the people who were here first and how they honored the land. #NC #Lumbee
North Carolina is home to more than 130,000 American Indians representing eight state-recognized tribes: Coharie, Eastern Band of Cherokee, Haliwa-Saponi, Lumbee, Meherrin, Occaneechi Band of Saponi, Sappony, and Waccamaw Siouan. Today, we honor their living traditions and leadership.
NC District 10 deserves better than Pat Harrigan, who keeps increasing his personal wealth at taxpayers' expense. #NCpol
This is not the person I want on the NC Supreme Court representing women. #NCpol
One good thing to celebrate. #DollyParton #NCpol
Gov. Josh Stein declared September 25th, or 9/25, officially “Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library Day of Reading” across North Carolina in memory of the Tennessee musician, her hit song “9 to 5,” and her philanthropic generosity to Helene victims as well as young readers. #DollyParton #ncpol #9to5
Did Fox News think this was going to help or hurt Whatley? #NCpol
What will you lose if the NC Amendments pass in November? Part 1 #NCpol
DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. #BoycottDoorDash
DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.
Republicans pulling money out of NC and Georgia Senate races ... that's a good sign, but no one can take anything for granted. #NCpol
I was at this launch. Nice to see so many young people getting involved.
Back in Forsyth County for a canvass launch this afternoon. These volunteers know: the conversations with your friends and neighbors will make or break this race. Let’s get out there! 25 days until voting starts. Check your voting registration status today at iwillvote.com.
Go Vote video...from Hamilton. Pass it around. #GOTV
The most important 2026 election is the Supreme Court of NC. #NCpol #AnitaEarls
Trump wants everyone to pretend he is on the ballot in November...he is. Every Republican has to be voted out. #NCpol
The total North Carolinians have paid in tariffs, comes out to almost $2,000 per household. Last year's tariffs drove down Canadian buying of NC goods and hurt business here. The last thing we need is to start it up all over again, but that's what Trump's doing. #nc #economy #tariffs #canada
Yes, please help. I live in Forsyth County and we need Amara to win, but the incumbent Republican DA has over $300,000 in his campaign fund. #AmaraHunter4DA
If you're in the Triangle, c'mon out and join us on Sunday, September 27th as we support Amara Hunter for Forsyth District Attorney. Hope to see y'all there! Tickets: secure.actblue.com/donate/hunte...
