Couldn’t be prouder of our USF College Dems & Pinellas Young Dems for bringing that energy to the Pinellas Democrats’ Masquerade Ball. These young leaders are the heartbeat of our movement. 💙🎭

Texas’ Abbott and Florida’s DeSantis are cut from the same cloth—using gerrymandering to lock in power. Mid-decade redistricting isn’t leadership, it’s voter suppression. When politicians pick their voters, democracy loses.

What a fantastic lesson on making assumptions vs. actually paying attention.
Vance is the child of gay parents and wore a red hat that said “Make America Gay Again.”
The reactions they got are very interesting.
Not every red hat is bad and blanket assumptions are often wrong.
Kudos to his dads!🏳️🌈

Yesterday’s event started as an idea—and became something powerful. So proud of what we built together. Thank you to everyone who showed up, volunteered, and believed in the vision. This is how we #TakeBackFlorida—one connection at a time.

100 days into Trump’s second term and Floridians are hurting.
Prices are up. Rights are being rolled back.
He promised relief—we got chaos.
We have to fight harder, organize smarter, and stay united.

🚨 Our libraries are under attack in Pinellas County. Rep. Berny Jacques is threatening to defund Largo Library unless they remove LGBTQIA+ books, pride flags, and inclusive children’s materials. 📚🏳️🌈

Imagine a Florida where every child has a safe space to learn, dream, and grow.
Where libraries are celebrated, not censored.
Where books open minds—not trigger book bans.
Where public schools are fully funded, and every student has a fair shot.

Some progressives refused to vote for Kamala over Gaza. The result? A win for Trump in key areas.
We can hold leaders accountable without handing power to those who’ll do worse. Elections have real consequences. #VoteBlue

1/ President Trump’s decision to pardon over 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6th insurrection is a dangerous assault on the rule of law.
These were not peaceful protestors—they were individuals who stormed the Capitol, assaulted law enforcement, and tried to overthrow our democracy.

Deeply disappointed in Hillary Cassel’s party switch in the Florida State House, following Susan Valdes in Hillsborough. Both signed loyalty oaths, gained support from Democratic donors & volunteers, and then abandoned their commitments.

In 2023 there were 8,515 reports of sexual assault in the US military. Now, Donald Trump wants an accused rapist to be in charge of investigating those reports and holding predators accountable. That's a dangerous idea. Tag your Senators below to tell them they must reject Pete Hegseth's nomination.
