#MemorialDay isnโ€™t just a long weekendโ€”itโ€™s a moment to remember the heroes whose courage, sacrifice, and bravery gave us the freedom we share today.

To the fallenโ€”and to the families who carry on in their absenceโ€”thank you. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

The Big"Beautiful" Bill passed the House this morning. Now's the time to call your Senators, even if they won't listen to reason.

Here in NC, unfortunately we have two that are Trump apologists and sycophants. But that's not going to stop us.

I believe in practical solutions, fiscal responsibility, local control, and common-sense health & justice reforms. And I believe in an independent Congress that is willing to make laws, control the purse, and oversee the executive and judicial branches of government. #ncpol

Hey there, #ncpol! My name is Paul Barringer. I'm a husband, father, lawyer, and Lee County native. I've taught Sunday school for the last twenty years, I'm a big fan of fried chicken and lentils, and today, I'm announcing I'm running as a Democrat for Congress in NC's 13th District!

ICYMI, union members submit 320,000+ signatures โ€” more than double the required amount โ€” to put a referendum on the ballot against the legislatureโ€™s bill banning public employee unions from collective bargaining. But no one is declaring victory yet: www.fox13now.com/news/politic... #utpol

HOWEVER, this issue will come up again, as certain board members are hell-bent on rolling back protections for our most vulnerable students and teachers. In this time, we must all remain vigilant and be prepared to fight back against these attacks on equality.

Be ready. We certainly will be.

Johnston school board pauses on change to bullying, harassment policies For the second time in a week, Johnston County Public Schools leaders on Thursday paused a conversation about excluding LGBTQIA+ language from the district's bullying policy.

Due to the efforts of YDJC (especially our VP), @equalitync.bsky.social & local advocacy groups, the JCPS Board has now postponed a decision to rollback discrimination protections.

This is a great day for #lgbtqia+ youth and faculty and for #johnstoncountync

This is what happens on X when you stand up for trans youth and teachers, y'all.

They want a bigot fascist dictator so bad. #ncpol

For now, we can breathe a sigh of tentative relief as the #johnstoncounty BoE is tabling the rollback of protections for #LGBTQ+ students and faculty.

We will keep an eye on this one, but this is why public advocacy is so important. Thank you to our VP Ben Chapman for your work on this ๐Ÿ’™ #ncpol

Public pressure is WORKING. The policies that were set to be rolled back tonight that protect LGBTQ students and staff is now being sent back to committee!!!

Thank you to everyone who pitched a fit about this, and let's keep the pressure up!

Stay vigilant ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’™
