Tonight, I am thinking of the parents squeezing their children tighter as they stare into the depths of the unknown. I hold out hope, our collective human history of two world worlds, will unite humanity against one of our planet’s most ruthless dictators.

Regarding SB20, the NC Republican ban on abortions in our state… “In the end, the bill is a draconian abortion ban that will harm maternal and infant health, and does little to help women forced to give birth.” - Dr. Rebecca Kreitzer

This weekend I wrote ~5k words on the new NC abortion law. This is the most detailed analysis you will find - including explaining what has changed and contextualizing that info. I’ve never written something I so desperately want people to read.

This is an embarrassment to North Carolina, but more importantly a betrayal to our first responders. We must extend presumptive cancer protections to NC’s firefighting community.

Less than a year after Margaret Spellings resigned, less than two months after Carol Folt resigned, and a couple days since the ECU Chancellor quit, the Senate reaffirms the status quo of hyper-partisanship, dysfunction, and divisiveness. North Carolina deserves better.

It’s disturbing that our Republican colleagues couldn’t acknowledge @POTUS was legitimately elected. It’s sad they’ve chosen to put NC center stage in the saga that is Trump’s Big Lie. Fortunately @RoyCooperNC won’t let NC be Georgia 2.0.
