Got this on my FB feed just now: [View all]

"Here's what's happening - at light speed - in the General Assembly's "emergency" session right now.
In response to Charlotte's anti-discrimination ordinance, a bill has been introduced that would eliminate every anti-discrimination ordinance *in the state* and remove any negative consequences for those who violate the state's ban on racial and gender discrimination.
They are pushing this through as fast as possible. No one was allowed to see the bill until the committee met, then legislators were given 5 minutes to read it. It passed out of the committee and is now being debated on the House floor. It will almost certainly pass the House. Then it will be taken up in Senate committee, then to the Senate floor. All in one day"
