~personal news~ today is my last day in @NC_Governor office and working for @RoyCooperNC. It's been incredible watching Roy Cooper for the past four years stand up for his values and work to make North Carolina better educated and healthier.
Former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Joe Biden, along with other international and U.S. leaders, are introduced at the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. https://t.co/Cfxc0OZhyZ
Rachel Lindsay on West: “It plays into the fears that Black women have when they date outside of our race…that they’re fetishized. That’s exactly what West did to [Ciara]. We’re not for ur curiosity or a social experiment that you get to try for the summer.”

As a pwi graduate, this is the age old case of “Black girls are for fun, white girls are for marrying”. Ciara was right to say West treated her as just another notch on his belt. Hate it for her
People are laughing at how ridiculous the coverage is, but I think it’s a very smart and proactive move from Leaf Paine to minimize risk after Nancy Gutherie’s disappearance. Giving the story to TMV was a very specific move. They’re basically saying you better not try me.
Kamala Harris: No, no, no, that's not what I said… that he couldn't be on the ticket because he is gay. My point is, as I write in the book, is that I was clear that in 107 days, in one of the most hotly contested elections for president against someone like Trump, who knows no floor…
To be a black woman running for president, and as a vice presidential running mate, a gay man. With the stakes being so high, it made me very sad. But I also realized it would be a real risk. No matter how. You know, I've been an advocate and an ally of the LGBT community my entire life. So it wasn't about any prejudice on my part, but we had such a short we had such a short period of time. And the stakes were so high.
I think Pete is a phenomenal, phenomenal public servant. And I think America is and would be ready for that. But when I had to make that decision with two weeks to go—and maybe I was being too cautious…we should all talk about that. Maybe I was, but that's the decision I made. And I'm and I, as with everything else in the book and being very candid about that. Yeah. With a great deal of sadness about also the fact that it might have been a risk.
Despite the national Trump wave, North Carolina Democrats had an extremely successful election night. As national leaders look for a way forward, North Carolina offers a blueprint for success.

Serving as your Governor has been the honor of a lifetime. And tonight, we elected @JoshStein_ to keep moving us forward. He has the steady hand, the clear-eyed vision, and the servant’s heart to help make North Carolina stronger than ever.
Just a reminder, none of North Carolina's big suburban counties have reported anything yet. We're in the middle of the "red mirage" stage of the night. Pour yourselves a drink, people.
