Mail-in voting is safe. Period. Trump and Republicans know it. But they also know winning fair and square doesn’t look likely with their horrible policies and broken “promises.” That’s why they’re hell-bent on gutting voting rights. When you can’t win fair, you cheat.

For the second time this summer, Donald Trump is deploying the National Guard in a Black-led Democratic city based on a made up narrative. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/11/u...

Trump promised not to act until the courts ruled. He lied. Now 400,000 federal workers are stripped of protections overnight—no arbitrator, no grievance process, no recourse. This is authoritarian union-busting in broad daylight.

Black voters are highly motivated & looking forward to the upcoming elections. But what do they want from the Democrats in exchange for their votes? 64% want leaders who will fight for our rights and freedoms. Listen to our ED @adrianneshrop.bsky.social and pollster Cornell Belcher break it down.

The economy is terrible you say? The voters in @voteblackpac.bsky.social last poll coulda told you that without today’s jobs report numbers.

The social media narrative might make it seem like Black voters don't see the attacks on immigrants by ICE as our issue, but that is far from the truth. Check out BlackPAC ED @adrianneshrop.bsky.social and Cornell Belcher of brilliant corners as they break down the true sentiments of Black voters.
