We won races in this state last night that I know WILL save lives. We also lost races that I fear will put lives at risk. I’m as troubled by it as all of you are. But Donald Trump cannot paralyze us. Building our local power is a priority. And we’re going to need *you* next year.
Proud of @abreezeclayton today for defeating a nationwide swing to right in her down ballot races. People doubted her and she held it the fuck down and won the governors seat, the AGs office, and broke a supermajority in the state legislature.
“To do that, they've opened offices in places where Democrats have usually not campaigned. The goal is to churn out as many votes as possible in the least likely places – even if it means venturing deep into politically unfriendly territory.” #ncpol https://t.co/9yYTOBVD3W
This is what the CLIMATE VOTE looks like:
💚4 seats for Greens!
❌18 out of 23 Tory net zero sceptics lost their seats
👏36 of 51 Blue Wall seats flipped from Tory to Lib Dem & Labour, with climate & nature as key issues
Voters are CRYING OUT for a green & prosperous future.
🚨HUGE CLIMATE WIN🚨
For the first time the UK Supreme Court has ruled a new oil drilling licence unlawful because the government IGNORED emissions from burning fossil fuels.
This could help stop future fossil fuel projects. We need a renewable energy plan focused on workers.⬇️
Dear @RishiSunak - whether you continue to engage with Greenpeace or not, burying your head in the sand will not make the climate crisis go away. https://t.co/VDwC2VPNMH
Rishi’s government’s decision to “max out” on new oil and gas is reckless.
We’ve got BIG plans coming up to make them pay for it at the next election.
It’s going to take all of us organising together to make them happen. Here’s how you can take action👇🧵
#NoNewOil
🚨BREAKING: Climbers are on the roof of Rishi Sunak’s mansion draping it in 200 metres of oily-black fabric to drive home the dangerous consequences of a new drilling frenzy.

Protest is fundamental to democracy.
People must have the right to oppose having an unelected head of state, or more than £100m of public funds being spent on a coronation when millions rely on food banks.
These arrests should concern us all.
At 25, Anderson Clayton is currently the youngest state party leader. She took over the North Carolina Democratic Party with goals to reconnect with rural voters and engage the younger generation. https://t.co/F8M9yBe2Xf
Congratulations to our newly-elected Chair @abreezeclayton, one of the youngest chairs in NC history! 🎉 Democrats are ready and excited to get to work under your leadership. Onward!
SHOCKING FACT: If you earned £40,000 a day from when Jesus was born to the present day, you would still not make as much as Shell did in profits last year
🚨 BREAKING: Shell has tried to SILENCE @Greenpeace’s peaceful protest at sea with legal threats.
SHELL FAILED.
Climbers from Germany and France have joined the activists currently occupying Shell’s oil platform on its way to the North Sea.✊
#MakeShellPay
When Shell hits your boat with a court order, always have a second boat 😉
BREAKING: Greenpeace sends second boat and more climbers to occupy oil platform
