Democracy is not a spectator sport. It will take all of us working together to get Democrats into elected office at all levels to counter the destructive policies of the Trump and Lee administrations. Help us keep the momentum going. Volunteer. Donate. Run. Support. Vote. #DemocracyMatters

It’s easy to forget that love can truly unite all of us.

Enjoy all the pretend ghouls tonight, but prepare to cut off the real ones in D.C. and here in Tennessee, whose spending priorities should horrify every democracy-loving citizen. Please donate to our virtual food bank fundraiser for Second Harvest of ET to help feed those in need. blountdems.org

We're gathering nonperishables for local food pantries at our office and raising $$ for Second Harvest of East TN via our virtual food drive. The link to donate, address and hours are on our website: blountdems.org Help keep food on the table of families, kids and the elderly in our community.

Please share this too! Our community needs all of us.

Do you or anyone you know need help getting access to food because of Snap benefits not going out? Spread the word! www.feedtn.org

While Republicans in power let SNAP benefits freeze and working families go hungry, Democrats are showing up, as we always do, to feed our neighbors. We’re raising $$ for local food banks to make sure no child, parent or senior has to go without. Join us and help feed Tennessee. bit.ly/4qAwi5g

Not sure why or how much SNAP benefits matter?

Well, we can't find anything here that doesn't ring true. Well done, Blount County residents: @pennguilly

Making these helps me get through the long Trump weeks. Whether people like my little memes or they never take off, the process of creating them comforts my soul, as I imagine all the creative protest signs, the inflatable frogs, the musicians facing ICE do. Creation is life. Surrender is death.

Governor Bill Lee, Trump's loyal lackey is busily not preparing a plan to help the 1 in 10 Tennesseans who will lose SNAP benefits NOV 1. Appalled, angry, and disgusted with this Trump administration of injustice and cruelty and its mini-me in Tennessee? Make note, friends. Courage is contagious.

Because of the GOP shutdown, SNAP benefits won’t pay out in November, leaving many TN families without food assistance. Democrats are stepping up to fill the gap. Drop off non-perishable items for donation to Second Harvest at our HQ: 523 W. Lamar Alexander Pkwy, Suite 14 Maryville. #snapbenefits

Be a man, Mikey. Stop putting off the inevitable. There is life after politics. You could learn to knit. Volunteer at a food bank. Get your soul back. 1. Open the govt. 2. Swear in Adelita Grijalva 3. Release the Epstein files. #epsteinfiles #speakerjohnson

The answer to question, "What would Trump do to keep the Epstein files secret?" Anything, of course, and that includes his obedient minions. They are scared. They are desperate. DEMAND they 1. Open the government 2. Swear in Adelita Grijalva, new Arizona congresswoman 3. Release the Epstein files.

We love seeing the videos and photos of protestors around the country showing up and showing off their creativity and insight on what's wrong with Trump's America. Each time there has been an event in Blount County, the number of participants has risen. The movement is growing. #peacefulprotest

A few of our favorite pics from today's protest in Maryville TN. The numbers keep growing every time there is a protest like this. Everyone eschewed the terrorist vibe and showed up as lovable characters with witty signs. #peacefulprotest #NoKings #OCT18

The House has been shut down for 2 weeks with members sent home. So, ask yourself, why are they doing this? Are they ever going to restart the government? Is it just about the Epstein Files? #governmentshutdown #EpsteinFiles #DemocracyMatters #DoYourJob

Our prayers are said for the Kirk family this evening. While we do not agree with many of the positions held by Kirk, a loss of human life is never to be celebrated; it is a failure on us as a country. We must do better.

What are some of the needs that are important to you in our community? We want to hear your voice! Post below. Let’s be Blount.

Children who are not given a well rounded education grow up into adults who are easily taken advantage of by way of their cognitive dissonance. Education is the only remedy to disinformation.

Not accusers, they’re victims. Watch carefully for the change in wording. It’ll make a difference. This is not a hoax.

In our party, we prefer that criminals be prosecuted rather than promoted or pardoned. We also care about social justice, rights of all peoples, and an America for everyone.

Monday Motivation.

We couldn’t agree more.

Checking in on all our community members! How’re you taking action in our community during these troubling times? How’re you taking care of yourself as well as friends and neighbors? And vice versa! Post your avenues and stories of action and/or care, and we can inspire one another to do the same.

So many Day 1 promises, so many falsehoods peddled. So many cuts, turns, clawbacks and dead ends. Epstein Files? Nope. Better economy? For one man. A stronger country? Just a constitution under attack and messes for generations to come. We’ll be here with you in the trenches; we’ll stay with you.

We prefer to focus on the local, but we understand that what happens in one community can ripple.

PREACH.

Our elected officials can’t even vote on the topic of sanctuary cities, and now… this.
