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!”

A must read about how North Carolina Republicans targeted college students and how they are fighting back. You will be glad you read it. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/nor...
Amid new GOP-led restrictions, North Carolina students lead a fight to vote during the midterm primary
“There’s nothing that the board of elections is going to do to stop me from voting,” one student said.

Americans living abroad are committed to taking part in democracy despite the complexity of casting a ballot.

But that commitment is being threatened by the GOP-backed SAVE America Act, which if implemented, would cause those living abroad to lose their right to vote, Martha McDevitt-Pugh writes.
The SAVE America Act would disenfranchise Americans living abroad
The “SAVE America Act” is a rebranded version of the anti-voter SAVE Act, and its new name should not fool anyone.

Sen Ossoff (D-GA) nails it‼️This administration is of, by and for the Epstein Class. The middle class is getting absolutely crushed by this economy. The #TrumpAffordabilityChaos is wreaking havoc on working citizens, everything costs more and prices will only continue to rise.

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

🌙 Ramadan Mubarak! Wishing peace, joy, and blessings to all observing. Ramadan is a time of reflection, unity, and compassion—values that make us stronger together.

May this month bring you and your loved ones light and peace.

A graphic with a dark blue background that has the shapes of crescent moons, many-pointed stars, and lanterns, all hanging from draped lines at the top, and a skyline of an old city with domed buildings and towers at the bottom, all in yellow. Text in yellow says "Ramadan Mubarak. February 18-March 18, 2026." The DA logo is near the bottom, in white.

Noncitizen voting in federal elections is already illegal. The SAVE Act doesn’t fix a real problem; it creates one. It builds a giant bureaucracy to hunt for rare cases and ends up blocking huge numbers of eligible citizens who did everything right. #sheshed

#BlackHistoryMonth
A yellow, red, green, and black graphic with the DA logo at the top and the DA Global Black Caucus logo at the bottom. There is an image of a voter ID card and a photo of hands holding some IDs. The text says ""THE VOTE WAS NEVER FREE. VOTER ID LAWS. ID as a Barrier. Strict voter ID laws disproportionately impact Black voters because they intersect with existing racial and economic inequalities, turning a neutral-sounding rule into a real barrier. This occurs by exploiting unequal access to government-issued identification caused by disparities in income, transportation, and ID-issuing offices. Even when IDs are technically free, the time, cost, and documentation required to obtain them function as a modern barrier to voting. As a result, these laws suppress participation by placing the greatest burden on communities already facing structural obstacles. Neutral law doesn't mean neutral application. A democracy is only fair when election security is paired with real access to voting-otherwise, security becomes exclusion."

I don’t think anyone acquainted with the Epstein files can deny that the Republican Party is sincerely committed to putting children to work.

Today, the world lost a trailblazer of the Civil Rights Movement and Democratic politics. Rev. Jesse Jackson, 84, was a true leader and a champion of justice for the oppressed. We will continue to fight for the values he lived by and carry on his legacy.

This Presidents day, we simultaneously celebrate the great people who led this country in the past and mourn the fact that a single racist, sexist authoritarian has been able to inflict such lasting damage to the foundations of our democracy in just a single year.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."
