I’ve declared a Snow Emergency in the Borough of Downingtown. It goes into effect tonight (1/24) at 6:00 PM. Once it begins, there is no parking on snow emergency routes and vehicles will be ticketed/towed so crews can clear the roads. Please limit travel and park off street if you can.

The same people who today say that we should "trust science," "DNA can't change," and "it's just biology," when speaking about trans people, are the same ones who said that we can't trust science, that mRNA changed DNA, and biology wasn't real because vaccines are a fraud, 5 years ago. Which is it?

I'm American, and I'll fight them! (Almost 60 btw) WTF?!

Merry Christmas to all, even those acting like all is fine while families split, deportations rise, trans protections cut, hate crimes up, costs up, rich cash in, voting rights attacked, voices silenced, science ignored. We deserve better. God Bless America. Mayor-elect EMD.

Just deleted Twitter...

Libs of TikTok found me. I’ve made it to the big time!

For people who might be commenting in languages other than English, I am trying to repy in your native tongue. Being a bit of a polyglot, I can speak English, French, and Danish, I can sorta read/write Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, Greek, and I can kind of understand a smattering of other languages.

We made history. Now the work starts. My First Hundred Days Fund supports resident meetings, outreach, and transition work. Goal is $10,000. Every gift helps. secure.actblue.com/donate/deuso...

My opponent is attacking me for earning endorsements because he couldn’t earn any of his own. No Republican person/group has backed him, and that says everything about his credibility. People/orgs only endorse candidates they trust and believe can win—and clearly, no one believes that about him.

Republicans run the Senate. Republicans run the House. Republicans run the White House. The government shut down is on them. If you still point at Democrats after knowing that, you’re the reason McDonald’s had to print “Caution I'm Hot” on the cups.

Chester County just took a historic step forward. In 90 days, our first countywide nondiscrimination ordinance goes into effect, protecting residents in housing, employment, and public accommodations. Proud to see fairness written into law for all!

Screenshots are forever.

I feel just as bad for the people in the crowd in Utah, as I do for the hundreds, if not thousands of school students, faculty, and staff, who've had to witness children slaughtered in front of them. I can't imagine the horror, the nightmares, and the PTSD they deal with.

🚨 Downingtown Deserves Honesty, Not Make-Believe Mayors 🚨 My opponent, Rich Bryant, calls himself “Mayor” on his website. That would be news to our borough—Phil Dague is our current mayor. I won’t call myself mayor until voters elect me Nov 4, and I take the oath on Jan 7. #SafeSustainableStrong

Love Story meets End Zone 💍🏈 Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce just made it official! Looks like this tight end found his Forever & Always, and she said Yes instead of You Belong With Me. Congrats to the new Blank Space on the roster, Mr. & Mrs. in the making!

Trump says the U.S. is the only country with mail-in voting. Ever heard of Canada? Germany? Australia? He’s either lying, an idiot, or both, and he clearly thinks you’re one too if you believe it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. EMD

Twelve weeks from today, Downingtown voters will choose our next mayor. That’s 84 days for me to earn your trust, your support, and your vote. I’ll be meeting with residents, attending community events, and working every day to make sure your voice is heard at Borough Hall.

Thank you, @theyseebluepa.bsky.social, for having me and many other candidates at your event today in Treddyfrin township! I look forward to working with you to keep Downingtown Safe, Sustainable, and Strong!

Trump’s latest word salad: “The intelligence says we don’t know… It was very severe… It was obliteration.” Confused? So is he. This isn’t leadership. It’s incompetence. Time to step down.

The Supreme Court just told trans kids to suffer for political points. That’s not justice—it’s abuse.

If the government’s cracking down on protestors while spineless politicians stay silent, it’s not law and order, it’s fascism in a flag costume, and we’re not fucking having it.

I am officially the Democratic nominee for Mayor of Downingtown! Chip in to help me finish the job? secure.actblue.com/donate/erica...

Proud to be endorsed by “Mr. Downingtown” himself — Mayor Phil Dague! Mayor Dague knows what it takes to do this job well: a strong commitment to public safety and a deep love for our community. Thank you, Mayor Dague, for your trust and support — I’m honored to carry on your legacy!

Do you think companies won't try to sneak in a little more profit for themselves with tariffs? You think Nike won't take a shoe they pay $10 to make and sell now for $100, and raise the price to $105 before the tariff to try to squeeze more out of you. They did it during COVID. Expect it now.

I’ve had to fight for respect, which is why I lead with compassion. But this campaign isn’t about me. It’s about keeping Downingtown safe, climate-ready, and rooted in our Good Neighbor values. Front page of the Philly Inquirer today. Let’s go! #SafeSustainableStrong #EricaForMayor @inquirer.com

I'm hosting the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund's event, “Canvass with Erica Deuso for Downingtown Mayor” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

Every sign. Every flyer. Every piece of our campaign literature? Union-made. Because we support organized labor, not just in words, but in action. So when you check your mailbox, look for the union bug. And if it’s not there — ask yourself if that candidate truly stands with you. We do.

Wishing a meaningful Good Friday to all who observe. Today, Christians around the world reflect on the crucifixion of Jesus Christ—an act of profound sacrifice and love. It’s a solemn day, set aside for prayer, contemplation, and gratitude. I hope this day brings peace, hope, and compassion.

The Mayor’s job isn’t to chase massive grants to fix flooding — that’s what federal, state, and county governments are for. They’ve got the deep pockets. What a Mayor can do is listen, and take action when neighbors speak up. I did when neighbors told me of a dog waste problem in the park.

Trending... So, of course, I had to do it.

Big news! We’re fired up to have earned the endorsement of Her Bold Move! They back bold, unapologetic leaders ready to shake up the status quo — and that’s exactly what we’re doing right here in Downingtown. Let’s build a safer, more sustainable, and community together!

On this Transgender Day of Visibility, I’m holding on to hope. Hope for safety. Hope for change. Hope for a future where we’re all respected for who we are — not who others think we should be. You are seen. You are valid. You belong. #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV #Hope

Elon Musk makes junk cars, exploding rockets & lays off thousands—but worse, he's meddling in elections & advising Trump without accountability. He’s not a genius—he’s a billionaire wrecking democracy & working families to protect his own power. Enough.

What are some fake, non-woke musicals that Trump would want to see at The Kennedy Center? For example, "He Had It Coming: James Earl Ray, the musical"

I am not sure why people are fire bombing Tesla's right now. If they really wanted to hurt Elon Musk, they'd be blowing up his Starships. Oh, wait...

Recently, I was endorsed by the MidChesCoDems.bsky.social in my campaign to be the next Mayor of Downingtown, PA. Thank you to them, and give them a follow! They are new to BlueSky and need your support! #Resistance #VoteBlue #VoteLocal

Day 12,571 of it not being a transgender person or drag queen.

No donors are giving me huge sums. As mayor, I can't rewrite rules. The only profit my donors see is my gratitude. Maybe a shout-out. But, that being said, if you'd like to donate, here is the link: secure.actblue.com/donate/erica...

Democrats, including John Fetterman, just caved to GOP demands instead of holding the line. We were told a shutdown was the only way to stop their extremist agenda—then they rolled over. Weak leadership isn’t enough; we need fighters, not politicians who fold. Enough is enough.

Honored to be featured in @lgbtqnation's recent article highlighting the strides of queer women in politics. As a proud member of this community, I'm committed to breaking barriers and ensuring our voices are heard. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/quee... #QueerWomenLead #RepresentationMatters

The same people who cheered when the VA stopped providing gender-affirming care are now panicking that the VA might not provide any care at all because it's on the verge of collapse because of the guy they voted for. Funny how that works. #VeteransDeserveBetter

U.S. Representative Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) is a national treasure. Protect her.

Remember, there is no exchanging currency for goods and services on Friday unless it's an emergency. No one ever said anything about no bartering, though. On that topic, does anyone know how many goats it would be to fill up my car?

If every state stopped paying federal taxes and instead took that money and kept it in the state, you'd see something amazing. Blue northern states would flourish. The West Coast would be amazing. Red states would go bankrupt, and their people would suffer.

Hey Dems, Rep. Garcia is 100% when he said we need to bring "actual weapons to this barfight" against this dick (Trump)... Also, apparently, this was an analogy. Or a metaphor.

On this President's Day, we honor the enduring legacies of leaders who have exemplified integrity, unity, and a steadfast commitment to the Constitution. #PresidentsDay #Leadership #AmericanValues #Deuso4Dtown

I am a process excellence professional and Lean practitioner. What Elon Musk is doing is not reducing waste; he is destroying the government. Take it from me, someone who has dedicated the majority of her career to efficiency and waste reduction.
