🚨🚨BAD BILL ALERT🚨🚨 Late last night, Republican lawmakers in NCGA dropped a new update (PCS) to Senate Bill 90. It's a horror show with lots of 💩, including this doozy: it gives just 5 parents in any school district the ability to fire the school superintendent. 😱 #ncpol





Feeling inspired by @JustinParmenter’s work to identify the discriminatory practices of NC private schools receiving taxpayer $ via vouchers. Let's look at how their policies discriminate against students on the basis of disability, shall we? #nced #ncga

.@triciacotham, who was published in Time magazine for her defense of abortion rights and got upset about not winning an award from Planned Parenthood, is the deciding vote in favor of the sweeping Republican abortion ban. Wow. #ncpol
