My SparkNotes version of the policy highlights of the 131-page bill (and no, I didn't come close to scratching the surface)--> #ncpol

This ad contains disinformation about the 2020 election and Meagan Wolfe’s role as @WI_Elections commisioner, which I’ve already debunked for @PolitiFactWisc + @journalsentinel: jsonline.com/story/news/pol…

A new congressional map takes North Carolina from having one of the fairest voting maps in the country to its most biased — and voters of color are among the big victims. bit.ly/3tRuw73

Great hack; a community kitchen shouldn’t have to work so hard to circumvent bad policy, though.

Rise & shine! It’s #NationalVoterRegistrationDay! If you recently moved, changed your name, became a citizen, or haven't already registered to vote, today is a GREAT day to get #VoteReady. Register to vote/check your #VoterRegistration status at bit.ly/NVRDReg2Vote

National Voter Registration Day is upon us, and so it is time for my annual screed against voter registration

I love creative tech, cultivating community, and giving talks. This past year I've been building AI apps and threw several creative tech events, incl. a hackathon at OpenAI and AI Show & Tell at NFX. Looking for a full time role, and interested in starting convos. Please share!

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

Yesterday was an anxious hell. But in the spirit of looking for helpers, I’m grateful to the students who shared chargers, colleagues who teamed up to secure doors, the campus Y employee who advised on exit routes and secure closets. Let’s never #unclockdown together again.

What NOT to do in election reporting. Providing accurate information is one aspect of good reporting. But especially around elections, good journalism MUST provide context and connect experts and explainers to their audiences. The alternative is to become conspiracy fodder.

Let's make sure every voter can cast their ballot in the next election! I just ordered a free, nonpartisan voter badge from @vot_er_org so I can offer community members the opportunity to register to vote or view their ballot conveniently. Get yours ⤵️ get.vot-er.org/badge

What an amazing bunch of researchers @unc_citap gets to collaborate with this coming year!

A self-fulfilling prophecy...states say they're leaving ERIC because other states are leaving ERIC. “As fewer states are participating, the costs are increasing and the amount of data we’re going to receive will be reduced,” Pierce said. texas.votebeat.org/2023/7/20/2380…
