I just voted. Make sure you do, too. #CanadaStrong

Join us for DAUK’s Comedy Night Fundraiser on May 7, at The Comedy Store in London: www.democratsabroad.org/dauksec/dauk...! You will enjoy a night of top-tier comedy featuring Hal Cruttenden, Desiree Burch, Pete Firman, Katie Green, and hosted by Erich McElroy!

Frost: And if you're here and you voted for trump in the past, my message is simple. I'm sorry you were lied to, but welcome to the team.

Stephen Miller turns the fascism up to 11 on Fox News

It’s scary for elected Democrats to move away from traditional comms strategy but it’s not nearly as scary as having to flee the country in the middle of the night to avoid being arrested by Trumps Gestapo.

To modernize Benjamin Franklin: Those willing to sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither.

Like before the proposed removal of Roe vs Wade and Project 2025......

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

Tomorrow I’ll be calling all of my representatives to demand that they call for RFK jr’s immediate resignation.

🚨 North Carolina voters: Do NOT send your passport by email or any other method right now. The ballot curing process hasn’t started yet. If you get a message asking for your passport, it could be phishing. Stay alert and protect your information. www.democratsabroad.org/nc_ballot_cu...

When American citizens have to worry about returning to their own country from travel abroad, you ain’t living in a free republic.

On American Exchange more talk about That Guy with fellow comedian and semifinalist on America's Got Talent - the brilliant Maureen Langan. We talk comedy in the age of Trump and the current state of EVERYTHING! Listen: bit.ly/AmericanXchgPod Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRvI...

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is reality

The SAVE Act, recently passed by the U.S. House, mandates in-person documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, which will disenfranchise millions. meidasnews.com/news/gop-sav...

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

This part

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

After this week, it may be helpful to have an evening of laughter to look forward to! If you could use a break from doom scrolling and want to laugh with other DAUK members, join us for our Comedy Night on May 7: www.democratsabroad.org/dauksec/dauk... And enjoy a flash sale through 13 April!

I’d argue that issuing EOs to direct the DOJ to investigate political enemies is crossing the rubicon.

Step One in saving the economy is to crash the economy.

This is America: Episode 11: Its The Stupid Economy Trump’s planned destruction of America’s economy is a pivotal political moment. This week Rachel and Aaron offer advice for “normies” who are just now waking up to the mess. open.substack.com/pub/thecycle...

“History repeats itself, first as a tragedy, second as a farce.” — Karl Marx

On American Exchange we welcome back political guru @rachelbitecofer.bsky.social author of 'Hit 'Em Where It Hurts' and The Cycle. We discuss the madness of Trump's Tariff's & how raising prices on EVERYTHING is a stupid idea. WATCH: youtu.be/zB6xKUCCVMo LISTEN: bit.ly/AmericanXchgPod

what a visual

Rand Paul just called Trump a tyrant. 👇

I was proud to speak in #London for #HandsOff The world is UNITED against Donald and Musk!

If you are an NC resident and voted in November, please check if your name or the names of any family areone of the 60K votes being challenged. If so, confirm ASAP with your Board of Elections. You only have two weeks. The website to check linked in the reply. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

The irony of Americans electing a fascist because they were more concerned about getting lower grocery prices than saving democracy and then they end up losing democracy AND getting higher grocery prices 🤦🏽‍♂️

Remember Trump is GOLFING TODAY.

I will be there!

“In 2012, in Arizona v United States, the highest court in the land ruled that “as a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain in the United States”. Got that? Not. A. Crime.” From my new Guardian op-ed:

As I said repeatedly before the election, voting for authoritarianism because you think it’ll boost the stock market just means you’ll end up with a broken democracy and a broken economy.

I woke up this morning feeling damn proud again that I worked my ass off to try to help get Kamala Harris elected.

I wonder how many people realize the tariff on auto parts causes car insurance premiums to go up?

This is a moral moment. It is not left or right, it is right or wrong.

The data don’t lie, America wants to fight back.

On this week's American Exchange we are joined by writer of Good Politics/Bad Politics @jonathanbernstein.bsky.social We discuss Signgate, the state of protest in America, and how the Constitution is under ATTACK! Watch here: youtu.be/kcpfgSQafVM Listen here: bit.ly/AmericanXchgPod

I have said since Trump starting laying the groundwork for the Big Lie in the first part of 2020 that he would not leave office willingly. I have been correct so far. And I'm telling you again he will not leave office willingly. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Democrats Abroad UK is holding elections for leadership roles for the 2025-2027 term. TODAY IS THE DEADLINE for DAUK members to request a ballot to vote in this important internal election: www.democratsabroad.org.uk/ballot-reque... Learn more about the elections: www.democratsabroad.org.uk

What people want from Democrats is clear: They want elected Ds to acknowledge we’re in an emergency and 2. act like it. It’s not complicated.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act threatens to disenfranchise millions with strict in-person requirements for registration. This will disproportionately impact service members & civilians abroad, making it harder for us to exercise our right to vote. usa.gov/elected-officials

More from the latest American Exchange as we welcome back journalist and White House Correspondent @briankarem.bsky.social We cover the latest on the state of the States. Think it's bad? It is. Watch HERE: youtu.be/mEHxWhwf6l0
