The staff of UNC Press’s hearts are heavy due to the incomprehensible path of destruction that has devastated western North Carolina.

Think you’re registered to vote? Think again. An army of 40,000 self-proclaimed vigilante vote-fraud hunters have already challenged the rights of 851,000 voters. Have you checked your registration lately

@conradikal I'm a proud owner! And I hope the momentum continues! Love Letters, and this is great for Durham and downtown.

Remember when John Kerry was Swiftboated by Chris LaCivita who is doing it to Tim Walz now? Guess who funded it? Harlan Crow, the billionaire who has been lavishing freebies on Clarence Thomas.

[Vince Mpls @vincempls]

Sign in front of the Minnesota governor's residence just now. Congratulations @Tim_Walz

Pick you a Vice President that has your opponents wishing you picked somebody else.

I have never posted that gif of some muppet running around happily but if I posted gifs and could remember with any specificity what that one was, I would post it right now: a muppet with their hands in the air running around ecstatically.

[Teddy Goff @teddygoff]

One of the many extremely appealing things about Walz is that he doesn’t appear to have had a grand plan to take over the universe. He appears to have gone into politics because he likes helping people, and risen because he’s really good at that. What a concept!

If you ask : what is the value of the humanities? I would say that it teaches you to read with acuity, to analyse wild claims, to argue responsibly to questions to which there are no right answers. Do we need the humanities? Let’s hear it for yes!!!

[Will Bunch @willbunch.bsky.social @Will_Bunch]

What's not to like about Josh Shapiro as VP?

If you're a progressive, quite a lot -- school vouchers, fracking, Gaza protests, an aide's harassment scandal.

About to post tonight's letter and it has just hit me how much we are trying to absorb. The rally shooting was just 12 days ago. Then the RNC. Vance. Biden refused the nomination just 4 days ago. Harris clinched the nomination 32 hours later. Now EVERYTHING has changed. Stunning.

[Carolina Forward @ForwardCarolina]

With today's big news, speculation is rampant about who @KamalaHarris's Vice Presidential pick will be. One name floated has been North Carolina's own Governor @RoyCooperNC.

For those of y'all not from NC - welcome. Allow us to introduce you to Governor Cooper. 🧵👇
