2/ Blacks in Congress increased significantly after VRA. There were 6 African American members of the House then, now reaching 61 African American members of the House in 2025, along with 5 African American senators. Roughly 14% of the US identifies as Black. 🙏 @statistacharts.bsky.social

Last week SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a civil rights-era statute passed to prohibit racial voting discrimination. It’ll now be harder to challenge racially discriminatory gerrymandering, and may reverse gains in black representation in Congress. 🧵 @demsabroadgbc.bsky.social

We #DemsAbroad know it’s true! 🇺🇸🌍 Trump claims he made the US “respected all over the world” but new polling reveals his global reputation. A 2025 poll over 130 countries found approval of US leadership dropped to 31%, disapproval rates at a record-high 48%. www.thedailybeast.com/humiliating-...

Our statement starts with "Yet another attack on voting rights has slithered out of the Oval Office, as Donald Trump targets mail-in ballots and attempts to illegally assert federal control over our elections through his latest executive order." More here: www.democratsabroad.org/trump_uncons...

Aren’t Republicans always chanting ‘Support our Troops’? Over 10,000 US veterans lost their homes to foreclosure since May of 2025, when the Trump admin shut down a key safety net in the VA home loan program. Not much of a Thank You for their service. #DemsAbroad www.npr.org/2026/04/02/n...
