There are four graphics in the carousel. The first has a stylized image of the world as the background with the text “Join Democrats Abroad. Become a member today!” The next three show large groups of Democrats Abroad with election and campaign signs. The text on all three says “Join Democrats Abroad” and individually says “We want you!,” Midterms are around the corner,” and finally “Stay engaged with us!”

The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that the state can put a redistricting plan on the ballot this spring that could add as many as four more Democratic seats in Congress.

The referendum will take place on April 21.

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

I just applied for a passport renewal. The cost was $149 including postage. Requiring a passport or similar proof of citizenship to vote is thus a poll tax. The SAVE Act before the Senate asks to do just that.

Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them NO SAVE ACT

From the Chair of DA, Martha McDevitt-Pugh: “The “SAVE America Act” is a rebranded version of the anti-voter SAVE Act, and its new name should not fool anyone. It retains the most extreme provisions of the original proposal and goes even further.”

I just emailed my CO Senators to vote NO on the SAVE Act. It's a voter suppression bill. Has nothing to do with preserving "election integrity."

Here's a script courtesy of @demsabroad.bsky.social :

Stop the SAVE Act
Take Action Now! Call the Senate and demand that Dems filibuster SAVE (S. 128) and that Republicans do the right thing and also vote no to inequity.

BREAKING: We're filing a lawsuit challenging Ohio's new law that seeks to purge voters from the rolls based on outdated citizenship data.

This law sets up eligible voters — especially recently naturalized citizens — to be wrongly stripped from the voter rolls on the day before the election.
