I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone in this community for being here and, most importantly, for taking action. We’re living in a time of chaos and negativity, but every time I return to this subreddit, I’m reminded that across the country, people are organizing, fighting, and refusing to give up.
They can try to “flood the zone” with disinformation and distractions, but we build stronger ships. They can push a new boogeyman every week, but we know the real threats are those who oppose equity, prosperity, and peace—not just for ourselves, but for our entire community.
I’ve been actively volunteering for over a year now, and this community played a huge role in pushing me to get involved.
For my fellow Georgians: Cobb County has a special election coming up for Districts 2 & 4 County Commissioners. If you want to get involved, visit the Cobb County Democrats’ website for more information.
The weight of responsibility can be overwhelming. We know better and must do better for not just ourselves but those around us. I’m happy to be carrying this weight with all of you.
Be blessed

An awesome Reddit volunteered and crafted these flags for my campaign! I wanted to put it to a vote and let the voters decide which flag is best!
Highest voted flag in the end will be selected!

Eight days into the Trump Presidency, elections are still happening!
Tonight's our first night with lots of action - we're swinging through three states for some primaries and some special elections! Here's what we've got:
Florida (polls close 7pm ET or 7pm CT, 8pm ET)
1st Congressional District primary: Good riddance to Matt Gaetz, who resigned this seat because he thought he was going to be Attorney General...and then ended up having to withdraw. Now there'll be a special election on April 1st to fill this district in the western Panhandle, which Trump won by 37.9 points in 2024. Gay Valimont, a gun reform activist who ran for this seat in 2024, was the only Dem to file, while ten Republicans are battling for the GOP nomination. While a deep-red district, this one actually moved the least towards Trump from 2020 to 2024, and this campaign is a chance to start building power towards winning the state again. Note: polls close at 8pm ET in this district.. RESULTS
6th Congressional District primary: This Trump+30.2 district is based around Palm Coast and Daytona Beach, and runs inland to the borders of Ocala and The Villages. Rep. Michael Waltz left this seat to become National Security Advisor. Dems have two candidates here - attorney and 2018 candidate Ges Selmont, and teacher Josh Weil - and while Republicans have three candidates, State Senator Randy Fine is the overwhelming favorite (which is a shame because he's both a bigot and an asshole). Whoever wins this primary deserves our full support against him! RESULTS
Iowa (polls close 8pm CT, 9pm ET)
Minnesota (polls close 8pm CT, 9pm ET)
In the coming days, the Senate will hold confirmation hearings for the position of Director of National Intelligence. The current nominee, Tulsi Gabbard, has a disturbing record of parroting Russian propaganda, meeting with America’s enemies (Syria’s Assad), and advocating for Ukraine to settle with Russia and agree to be neutral. There is a great article by even the conservative National Review about why she is uniquely unqualified.
Gabbard’s chances of getting confirmed currently stand about 50/50. Four Republicans are needed to stop her nomination. Previously three Republicans voted no on Hegseth’s nomination, so just one more is needed here.
We ask that you call your Senators, and ask them to vote NO on confirming Gabbard. This is especially critical if you live in these states for the following Senators:
Texas, Cornyn - 202-224-2934
Maine, Collins - 202-224-2523
Alaska, Murkowski - 202-224-6665
South Dakota, Rounds - 202-224-5842
Oklahoma, Lankford - 202-224-5754
Below is a sample script. Feel free to add details, such as why this issue is important to you. You can use this script for both speaking with a staffer or leaving a voicemail.
My name is [your name] and I live in [city, state]. In the upcoming days the Senator will be considering the nomination of Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence. For the sake of American national security I ask that the Senator votes No. Gabbard has consistently sympathized with American enemies and traitors, met with Syria’s Assad, and encouraged Ukraine to effectively surrender to Russia. She is not fit for this role and would endanger America’s interests. Thank you.
