“If the news about our military must first be approved by the government, then the public is no longer getting independent reporting. It is getting only what officials want them to see. That should alarm every American.” - National Press Club #DemsAbroad 🧵

Without blue states, America would look like totally different; patchy internet, collapsing infrastructure, no tech, no future. The states taking the most bring the least to the table. Why do they vote against their own interests? 🙏 allenanalysis usafacts.org/articles/whi... #demsabroad

Here’s what you can do to stop Trump. And please volunteer with Democratsabroad.org/volunteer.

The Michigan Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling protecting the right to vote for certain US citizens born overseas to Michigan parents, even if they have never lived in the state. #DemsAbroad helped lead the charge! www.democratsabroad.org/mi_voter_win... #VoteFromAbroad

She could be deported. Keep brown people as the focus to keep the bigots on board, but it's about punishing anyone they want.

It took 10+ years for my son in law to become a citizen.

#90million who didn’t vote! Big win for democracy!

31% of Florida professors said they have applied for a job outside of Florida since 2023, citing state policy on tenure, elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, free speech, and the cost of living. 🧵 #DemsAbroad #DEI

We love @politicsgirl.bsky.social, who was born in Canada, and is a naturalized US citizen. Hear her talk about her immigration story, and her fears for herself and other US immigrants. It’s not about the “criminals.” It’s about ANYONE Trump doesn’t think belongs in America. #demsabroad

2/2 “The governor of Florida threatens at every turn to take funding away so administration at colleges don’t stand up to him or board of education. I no longer have any motivation or creativity to make courses better,” a tenured professor at a public community college wrote.

#90million who didn’t vote!!!

#maga and #90million who didn't vote. At some point, the regime will just get any US citizens to be slave labor since only the billionaires will be given preferred treatment.

You know what they say, follow the money!💰 Why is ICE going after laborers instead of criminals? So the for-profit detention facilities can make money off them, and use them for cheap labor. And of course donate profits to Trump. Does Trump do anything that doesn’t profit him? 🙏 @LULAC #DemsAbroad

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Congrats to families in New Mexico! Thanks Gov. Grisham for showing Americans what’s possible.

IN THE 50'S..... OUR BEST MEMORIES OF GROWTH EVER.... WE TAXED BUSINESS with an EXCESS PROFITS TAX. The first 25,000 taxed at 23%. Any profit over that was taxed at 42%. #WeThePeople need an EXCESS PROFITS TAX REVIVAL. A FAIRNESS DOCTRINE REVIVAL. WE JUST NEED A LEADER TO BRING THEM FORWARD.

This isn’t the first time a president has used #wastefraudabuse as a distraction to cover tax break for the rich. It’s a page right out of Reagan’s trickle-down playbook. Same playbook. Same people falling for it. 🙏 @marriageandmartinis #DemsAbroad #taxtherich #DemsUnited

Trump and his Dept of Labor announced massive deregulation, robbing US workers of dozens of rules that protect them from being forced to risk injury on the job and are paid for their fair wage. So much for American first…corporations first! www.epi.org/blog/trumps-... @demsabroad.bsky.social

You’ve heard it before…”But Canadians pay so much more in taxes!” But do they? One US expat to Canada compares her US vs Canada taxes, along with quality of life. 🇺🇸🇨🇦 #DemsAbroad jedixtine.substack.com/p/an-interes...

Tax the rich? We used to! “Congress after Congress has cut taxes on the richest people and corporations — billions of dollars that would otherwise have gone to the federal till for spending that could help the rest of the public get ahead.” inequality.org/article/tax-... @demsabroad.bsky.social

Look what @demgovs.org can do! New Mexico will now the first state in the US to offer free child care to all residents, regardless of income, saving families on average $12,000 annually. 🧵

Don’t lose hope! “…hopelessness plays into the hands of Trump and his lackeys who want us to think that the game is over and they’ve won. But we can’t let them. The stakes are too high. Hopelessness is a self-fulfilling prophesy.” #resist #VoteFromAbroad open.substack.com/pub/robertre... #DemsAbroad

Then they came for you… Proposed legislation would allow Sec of State Rubio to strip passports from US citizens without due process. Civil liberties advocates worry because the bill is vague and can be interpreted to include speech and protest. www.commondreams.org/news/rubio-t... #DemsAbroad
