“In my vision of a Democratic Party, when you talk about reaching out to rural voters, you are talking about rural Black voters.” Democrats have often failed to mobilize rural Black voters as they try to dent Republican advantages in North Carolina. Via @apnews.com.

Ellie ♥️ I’ve told this story a lot. I worked for Senator Kinnaird in the North Carolina Senate after working for the late Rep. Paul Luebke in the House, where he served as finance co-chair. Ellie represented Orange and Chatham, then Orange and Person.. 🧵 #ncpol

From Hillsborough to Cedar Grove to Efland to Mebane to Caldwell, N. Orange is beautiful, and rich in history and culture and community bonds. It has been a joy to build relationships over years with the great leaders in this list, and I’m proud to have their support to be our our next State Senator

There’s something fitting about the Democratic ex-Gov who tried to sell a US Senate seat meeting the Republican US Senate candidate who tried to rehabilitate a child sex offender into GOP leadership coming together at a place called “The Gaslight Club” at a Chicago airport #ncpol

And just like that, we’ve started another war in the Middle East. Democrats and Republicans are responsible for the decades-long, unconstitutional aggrandizement of Article II presidential power that allows this shit to happen, again and again, in clear violation of the congressional war powers. 🧵
