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!”

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.

Florida AG James Uthmeier: "We need to focus on getting people into the workforce even earlier. We passed legislation last year to help high school students get their hands dirty and get on job sites more quickly."

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.

#democratsabroad #jessejackson
A photo of Jesse Jackson as the background. Text below says, “At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division. Jesse Jackson. 1941-2026.” The DA logo is in the top left.

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."
