Big NC news! Republican super majority has been broken in the NC House!

https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article221033465.html#storylink=mainstage

One of the biggest highlights of 2016 was Gov. Cooper beating our transphobic former Gov. Unfortunately he was saddled with a legislature that could easily override his vetos. That no longer is the case. It also looks like we're getting a 5-2 Dem majority on our Supreme Court!
