🚨BREAKING: The North Carolina Senate hastily passed a GOP gerrymander Tuesday in a 26-20 vote, advancing a proposed congressional map that aims to dismantle one of the state’s Black Democratic seats at the request of President Donald Trump. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/north-carolina-senate-approves-gerrymander-targeting-black-voters/

Protesters chant "Racist maps make racist reps!" ahead of a vote on a new GOP-backed congressional map in the North Carolina Senate Elections Committee in Raleigh, N.C., on Monday, Oct. 20, 2025.

There are only three Black members of Congress from North Carolina. As Republicans push to redraw the state’s congressional map, the risk of losing one and diluting the power of Black North Carolinians is high. That’s not a coincidence — it’s by design. https://bit.ly/4ou1wcg

North Carolina Republicans just passed a new Trump-inspired congressional map to oust a Black Democrat.

“Racist maps make racist reps! Racist maps make racist reps!”

After dozens of North Carolina voters gave public comment on proposed maps aimed at erasing Black voting power in CD1, lawmakers proceeded to kick those folks out #ncpol

If North Carolina enacts this new map, it will be sued.

I don't bluff and I usually win.
