Upset about test scores? Then fund kids. Fund education. Give them housing, food, clothes and resources. Start with diapers, start with their families and their health. Give them books to read, childcare, and early education with lots of play. #nced#ncpol
This, all day long. The roadmap has been in place for a long time, but Republicans refuse to take part. If they were just twiddling their thumbs, it would be bad enough. But they're shoveling tons of taxpayer dollars into private school vouchers, while lowballing public schools. Their legacy of bad behavior will haunt us for decades.
If a NC voter missed last Friday's deadline for registering to vote, have no fear:
You can "Same Day Register" during in-person early voting (Thursday, Oct. 20 thru Sat, Nov. 5) *and* cast your absentee onestop (in-person) ballot at the same time: https://t.co/acpTGneEzO#ncpolhttps://t.co/N9k6ffPAaU
And there are considerably more early voting sites this year than the last mid-term election. But you should go early (early), because there will likely be long lines. Gerry has a link to all the locations right here:
The deadline to register for the 2022 Mid-Term Elections is this Friday. If you have moved (even just a block away) you need to update your registration. If you miss that deadline you can still same-day register & vote at early voting locations, but it's best to do it ahead of time.
They will not stop trying to disenfranchise voters in NC. We can be better than this. Check on your friends and neighbors…make sure they are registered and encourage every one of them to vote. #TurnNCBlue for a brighter future. #ncpolhttps://t.co/XmSuGmkBIi
Which is why I do my best to ignore polls, of any sort. Half of them are push-polls, nudging people to choose a particular opinion, and others give you a "middle of the road" option that is not present on the real ballot. And a false sense of security (or insecurity) does not help anyone.
Not only does @TedBuddNC still question the 2020 election, but he won't commit to accepting the results of this year's election. Like Trump, it'll only be legit if he wins. That's becoming a bigger and bigger "if." #ncpol#ncsenhttps://t.co/IKEa2AmbgL
This needs to be a question asked during their (probably only) debate. And he also needs to be asked why he voted to overturn the will of the people, after a mob of traitors invaded the Capitol Building.
MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love.
But together, we can choose a different path forward.
“Our children need action now. We must not lose any more time — another generation of students — before we do what is right by them,” said Tamika Walker Kelly, president of the North Carolina Association of Educators. https://t.co/nWAxuhiQg6#nced#ncpol#LeadwithLeandro#ncga
This is the real Trump Derangement Syndrome: sacrificing all of your previously held beliefs for somebody who deserves nothing but contempt from you. It should be included in the next DSM.
