Weekends are for DEMOCRACY! Today, I'm in Delaplane, Virginia, alongside some phenomenal Black women, keeping our rural communities informed, engaged, and empowered! And we're not stopping there! Rolling with the Women's Caucus today, because democracy doesn't take weekends off! #BWLC #1MBVR

The way some folks are distancing themselves from Trump, you’d think they entered WITNESS PROTECTION! Now everybody has “deep concerns.” BABY, YOU WERE FRONT ROW IN A RED HAT, CLAPPING LIKE A SEAL! You can delete the pictures, but we have receipts! Next. #BlueWaveIn20Days

LIKE THE NEW SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK, BUT FOR GROWNUPS Billionaires bankroll politicians. Senators confirm Supreme Court justices who serve for life. Roe overturned. Voting rights weakened. Presidential power expanded. This didn’t happen by accident. Elections have consequences & we’re living with them.

CALL TO ACTIVISM@calltoactivism.bsky.social

🚨Holy shit, brilliant animators just made a devastating ad against Republican corruption: “A massive flood of money… impacts every part of our democracy.” Trump’s corruption is putting our democracy, our rights, and our future up for sale. VOTE. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

It’s time to get into election protection formation. Our upcoming trainings will cover the many actions you can take to ensure every eligible voter is able to cast their ballot, every vote is counted, and the election results are honored.

Voting is the most basic act of citizenship. The SAVE Act makes it expensive. Expensive voting is restricted voting. Restricted voting is not democracy. It's oligarchy with a ballot fee. #PayToVoteSaveAct

ICE shouldn't be at schools. Period. This is horrific, it's unacceptable. These parents should be immediately released and we must all collectively demand that ICE stay out of schools. www.thebanner.com/education/k-...

Do you agree with Gov Newsom that we are seeing the return of Jim Crow in our country with the elimination of 14 Democratic congressional districts across the South that represented Black communities? I do & it's vital that everyone fight to win every seat possible. CA-40 is winnable. Please help!🧵

Y'all, MAGA Republicans are chasing a 2/3 majority in Congress — because that gets them a step closer to changing the Constitution. Then it takes 38 states to ratify any proposed amendments. Ask yourself why they’re fighting this hard for every seat. This isn’t normal politics anymore. Clock it.

Stay focused. This is one of our "WHY!" One of many reasons.

“Cotton-picking hands” aimed at a Black man in 2026, and Republicans still have the nerve to ask why Black voters want nothing to do with the party of bigots. 📌 A host referred to Hakeem Jeffries as having “cotton-picking hands,” and Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans responded: “Yes to that.”

Let's go, @cwebbonline.com!!!!

WE ARE UNDER-REACTING‼️ If you needed any more proof that the Voting Rights Act is still necessary, just look at what’s happening right now: red states rushing to wipe out Black representation the second SCOTUS gutted it. What went down this week is going to have devastating consequences. 🧵

Aaron Black@aaronblack.bsky.social

California and Virginia let voters decide what their election maps look like. Florida's Governor decides alone. Why do some states trust voters while DeSantis treats them like obstacles to power. Don’t let that stupid corrupt asshole silence you. #StopIllegalFloridaMaps

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

Happy Earth Day! Here is my group of defenders. Get to know us, follow and share if you care :) Thanks y'all!

#VoteYesVirginiaToday and stay in that line!!!

For those of you who arrived at your polling station and are still waiting in live to vote for fair election maps in Virginia. Stay in line. The cutoff time is 7pm, but if you got there before that then you still get to vote. Do not leave until you’ve had a chance to vote! #VoteYesVirginiaToday

Virginia GOP says “Youngkin left a surplus.” That’s an intentional misdirect. In a biennial budget, that money was already allocated—reserves, Medicaid, schools, tax rebates, infrastructure. That’s not a windfall. That’s a ledger. Know the difference and stop misleading people. #VirginiaVoteYES

The ultra rich have each other's backs. They shirk their tax obligations and stick Americans with the bill. As the country struggles to keep their lifestyles normal and our children cared for, these MAGA supporting billionaires live high off the hog. #TrumpRiggedYourTaxReturn

Aaron Black@aaronblack.bsky.social

The ultra wealthy pay less than ever under Trump's tax policies. You pay more through hidden mechanisms like tariffs and eliminated health credits. This system extracts from workers to fund billionaire slush funds. #TrumpRiggedYourTaxReturn

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸 THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Come on, Virginia, let's run it up! I am leaving my early voting precinct in Prince William County, VA and the voters here (overheard conversations) are enthusiastic to cast their ballots and have their voices heard! #VoteYesVirginia to restore balance and to stop Trump & his minions. Let's go!
