As a society, we have got to ask ourselves if we are comfortable living in a country where the top 1% own more wealth than the bottom 92%. This is not just an issue of economics — this is an issue of our morality.

Unexpectedly went viral last night from a speech that shows political corruption in our state Senate happening *in real time* and explains why NC hasn’t had a budget in two years.

North Carolina doesn't need another HB2 debacle.
But that's what we'll get if we pass the bill that forces teachers to report “gender nonconforming” students to their parents.
We should all stand up to bullies - especially when they're in the state legislature.
