Throwback to our video on how NC got to be as gerrymandered as it is! Now Phil Berger is trying to score points with Trump and is promising to gerrymander our state further. Stay loud about this! We deserve fair maps and laws that help all North Carolinians, not more gerrymandering.

Republicans are gerrymandering congressional districts again b/c they're TERRIFIED of accountability for their ruinous policies. Whether it's b/c they made NC last in US for healthcare costs or doubling peoples' insurance premiums, the last thing Republicans want is for voters to get a say. #ncpol

NC GOP leaders want to rig our congressional maps again to help Trump. Voters should pick their leaders, not the other way around. #ncpol #FairMaps

After fighting for democracy, join your fellow protest friends at @raleighbrewing.bsky.social for a No Kings after party!

There will be live music, a food truck and karaoke later in the night.

Joy is a form of resistance!

Senator Bernie Sanders has a message for Speaker Johnson.

The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a "hate America" rally.
It's a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom.

Go to nokings.org and find a location near you to join the movement, 10/18.

When it comes to failing the people of NC, no one keeps it 💯 like Senate Republicans. We've now gone 100 days without a state budget. It's time for Republicans to get back to work and do their job!

Yesterday’s vote to restart the death penalty in #NC, potentially by such barbaric methods as firing squad, electric chair, etc. This despite its flawed and racist history, and 12 recently exonerated innocent men. NC is better than this. #ncpol #ncga
