Thousands of citizens from all over the state showing up every Monday didn't get much traction at the Capitol (by the way, the rallies are led by Rev. William Barber, for those who wonder where are the Christians in the face of injustice), but forcing Duke and North Carolina to cross a state border to play in the NCAA tournament sure caught these bigots by surprise.

Doesn't Kami Mueller and the NC GOP believe in the free market right of businesses to run themselves? Why does the GOP want state government to micro-manage the NCAA?

A lot of problems.

But the GOP in North Cackilacky can suck penguin dicks. They stirred this mess up and now they're pissed because some of the shit got on their shoes? Fuck 'em. If I thought for a minute that they actually believed that PR bullshit, I'd be more supportive.

Meanwhile, I hope this is getting some traction with NC Dems. Would love to see your state turn blue.
