From the people who whine constantly about weird-looking maps, NC Republicans dropped this gerrymander monstrosity yesterday.

Check out Mecklenburg's new House District 105. Custom-drawn for @triciacotham, it still leans Democratic (as does all of Meck), but - wow. #ncpol

@NCGOP figured out how to take 💲💲 from NC families & give it straight to #DukeEnergy. By taking over who writes our building codes, they forcing NC families to stay in energy-wasting homes, costing us money, and enriching Duke.

The "independent state legislature" theory was a fringey right-wing power grab that would've overturned many American elections as we know them.

SCOTUS rejected it by a 6-3 vote. 3 justices were fine doing away with judicial review.

Thank you @NC_Governor for vetoing the abortion ban.

Earlier this week @SunriseDurham hosted a phone bank to sustain his veto. We made 100s of calls & emails to the NC GOP House Members to not override his veto.

Young people will not let GOP get away with taking our rights✊🏽

Instead of fighting for healthcare access, climate action, and debt relief, Republicans are manufacturing a crisis from thin air to win political points & funnel taxpayer money to greedy industry executives across the country. Their #DefaultOnAmerica Act must be stopped!

[Evergreen Action @EvergreenAction]

Thanks to the IRA, clean energy tax credits aren't just for big corporations. Now, these benefits are available through direct pay to the rural communities that need them.

Note from the 2023 IPCC Report:

'Between 3.3 and 3.6 billion people live in areas deemed “highly vulnerable” to climate change.

Human mortality from climate events such as flood and droughts was 15 times higher in such highly vulnerable regions between 2010 and 2020'

The sort of nonsense you engage in when you're gerrymandered into a safe seat and never have to worry about re-election again 👇

The thing that reactionaries really fear about unions, beyond increased wages or slowed productivity, is that, given enough organization and understanding of how important they are, workers may start making decisions for the company instead of the owners

Hear from the people on the ground in Atlanta, Georgia in this @UR_Ninja documentary about their efforts to protect the Weelaunee forest and the people from the Atlanta Police Foundation’s Public Safety Training Center (aka "Cop City"). #StopCopCity 🚫👮🏻‍♂️

Happy Valentine's Day! This is a reminder that no matter who you love, that is a valid way to love someone.

The cranks on the Right who want to deny you that right are a tiny, fringe minority and are unrepresentative of the people of our state.

Love is love. ❤️

"We gotta finish the job." - @POTUS

We agree. Declare a climate emergency. #SOTU

We're fighting for a Green New Deal that works for everyone. #SOTU

On this day in 1960, four courageous Black students from NC A&T sat down at a whites-only lunch counter and asked to be served. In doing so, the Greensboro Four sparked the sit-in movement and changed the United States forever. #BlackHistoryMonth

Best of luck to 500 transit workers under @smartunionworks Local 1715 in Charlotte, as they consider a strike to protect their pay, benefits, healthcare, safety, and other contract conditions
