Democrats are flipping seats!🌀 Since 2025, Dems have overperformed in 90% of competitive elections and have a perfect 30–0 record in flipped state seats. Mayors too. The GOP may have more cash-on-hand, but Dems are making the big electoral gains. @demsabroad.bsky.social thehill.com/opinion/camp...

Just like Mexico is paying for the wall… Senate Republicans introduced proposal to spend $1 billion on the glitzy White House ballroom that Trump promised would be built without using any public money. Is he ever NOT lying? #DemsAbroad www.nydailynews.com/2026/05/06/s... @demsabroad.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

Just to clarify. I loathed him, before I even knew what party he might have affiliated with. He was, to me, way back in the 80s, the epitome of what used to be called 'The Ugly American'. I loathe him even more now. I just want him gone. #NeverTrump #Resist @bluestormcomin1.bsky.social

Does this make you feel safer? 😬 The Trump admin has terminated over 100 advisory committees to science agencies—and reduced transparency and independence of others. The Dept of Health & Human Services lost over 1/4 of its advisory committees. #Demsabroad spklr.io/6048EKNh0

The White House’s 2027 budget plan proposes cutting education funding for some of America’s most vulnerable students by nearly 70%. 21% of adults nationwide are illiterate, and the US ranks 36th in literacy. These statistics show no signs of lowering, and the rise of AI may lead to lower rates. 🧵

We actually agree with Trump about something! 😮 “I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years…they have 1 thing in common, Low IQs. They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it…” #DemsAbroad www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

🇺🇸🇨🇦 DHS issued a summons to Google for personal info on a Canadian social media Trump critic. The Canadian is suing DHS. “Not satisfied with trying to suppress speech at home, the Trump administration is now targeting dissenters abroad,”🧵 #DemsAbroad www.aclu.org/press-releas...

You’ve heard it said that Republicans are fiscally conservative and Democrats just want to spend. Is it true? Check out this chart on US debt. Surprised? We’re not. #DemsAbroad #VoteBlue Result: over this sample, Republicans accumulate more of the increase in the debt-to-GDP ratio.🧵 🙏 @yunggeeski_h

Tell us something we didn’t already know…

A #ProPublica investigation found that Trump has installed dozens of loyalists in crucial gov’t roles, who are ‘supposed’ to help protect US elections. Many of these appointees tried to overturn his 2020 defeat, and oversee election tools, such as voting machines. 🧵 @demsabroad.bsky.social

Americans pay only 30% in taxes and think they're winning. Scandinavians pay 50% and actually are. Americans view tax as money lost. Scandinavians view it as a price paid for services. 🧵 @demsabroad.bsky.social @demsabroadnorway.bsky.social

3rd times a charm!🤦‍♀️ US citizen Leo Garcia who already has a lawsuit after being illegally detained by ICE twice, was detained FOR A 3RD TIME. A lawsuit filed by the Institute for Justice challenges warrantless ICE raids on construction sites. #DemsAbroad ij.org/case/alabama...

Looks familiar? #BlackSky

The DOJ filed a lawsuit against Denver CO, alleging the city’s 37-year-old assault weapons ban violates the 2nd Amd. Denver restricts certain semi-automatic AR-15 type rifles and high-capacity magazines. Denver’s mayor says they’ve kept 'weapons of war' off their streets.🧵 #DemsAbroad

President Donald Trump recently said consumer confidence in the U.S. economy is “way up." Most measures show that consumer confidence is at a low point, and in some cases, close to an all-time low.

Notice any similarities? Confederate states, Jim Crow South, & all the states rushing to redraw their voting districts before #2026Midterms after SCOTUS removed restrictions on racial gerrymandering. SCOTUS claims there is no more racism in the US. 🤔 #DemsAbroad www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I have been a vocal critic of gerrymandering. But the Supreme Court has unleashed the Republican Party on a gerrymandering spree. Democrats must respond in kind, removing any incentive for Republican states to gerrymander. This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.

SCOTUS Justice Alito claimed that the racial discrimination that prompted the creation of the Voting Rights Act no longer existed. Alito cited a court brief by DOJ, which relied on inaccurate statistical methodology when looking at Louisiana voter stats. #DemsAbroad newrepublic.com/post/210174/...

You know Trump likes to put his name on things… Now it’s Biden’ Savers Match, signed in 2022 in the SECURE 2.0 Act. Same plan, his name. But TrumpIRA only sends you to select private companies, and suggests unrealistic return on investment. Huge! #DemsAbroad thecollegeinvestor.com/80042/trumps...

#Whitesupremacy going nuclear as the minority rule class realize they’re done in this country (and worldwide) since the masses want equity, equality & fairness for all humans.

Trump has been purging Black officials in gov’t agencies at a higher rate, per a lawsuit citing Trump’s attacks on #DEI programs. “Trump has removed Black Senate-confirmed appointees; he has either nominated a non-Black individual for their replacement or has not formally replaced them…”🧵

US citizens living abroad have obstacles that most legislators don’t know, like tax burdens, and voting issues, driven by US laws. Call your House reps and demand they co-sponsor the Commission on Americans Living Abroad Act (HR 8561). @demsabroad.bsky.social www.democratsabroad.org/support_the_...
