[NEW] The Income Tax Cap Amendment Limits Your Power and Makes the Rich Richer
The proposed income tax cap state constitutional amendment on North Carolina's ballot this fall is a huge gift to the wealthiest people in our state, which would severely limit the state's ability to respond to future disasters or emergencies.
When the next major recession or natural disaster hits, North Carolina's lawmakers will have their hands tied to respond. The state's credit rating will suffer. And when the next rainy day arrives - and one always does eventually - North Carolina will be even more reliant on the federal government for a bailout.
Decisions about taxes are best left to our elected representatives, not set in the constitution. Vote against all three amendments.

Trump packed the Kennedy Center board, tried to strip Rep. Joyce Beatty of her vote, and called her "incompetent."
She took him to federal court, stripped his name off the building, and just won again:

My Lord.
@JoeBiden, 83 years old, battling Stage 4 cancer that has spread to his bones, stood for HOURS alongside @DrBiden as the names of 9/11 victims were read.
Donald Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 event at the Pentagon.
One showed respect despite his pain. The other couldn't even stay awake.
Trump is an embarrassment to the nation and the office he holds.
Really says it all.

Gerrymandering lets politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around.
Until we end that, it will remain difficult to achieve the things most Americans already agree on: higher wages, lower household expenses, and better services that become possible when billionaires start paying their fair share in taxes.

I am a Leandro Kid...
The North Carolina Supreme Court's reversal on the Leandro Case is an utter moral failure. This country has the audacity to fund an unclear, unnecessary, $2 Billion/Day war, yet still somehow, keep its conscious in tact with failing our children, right here at home. Our values in this state and country have never been more clear and pronounced.

The Duke University's #HomeGrown Initiative is a direct response to our renewed partnership and investments for Durham, Duke, and the Greater Triangle! @mayorofbullcity

Remember when Google dropped this Black History Month commercial in 2020?
That’s what honoring Black history looks like, telling the truth loudly, not sanitizing it when it makes people uncomfortable.
Happy Black History Month.

They’re angry because even with all that political power they’re still completely mediocre and inept‼️ They’ve done all those things and nothing in their lives improved or changed‼️ Instead of accepting responsibility for where they’re at, they blame everyone else‼️
