THIS! 👇🏽 Black voters have not just spoken they have screamed!
If you wake up this morning and see the surge of black voters across the Deep South and the bold response of Latinos who came out despite the threats, and the presidential level participation of young folks, and conclude that the scale of our victory was solely because “we had the discipline to stay on message about kitchen table issues” - you should not be given a dime of our ActBlue donations for your guaranteed future mediocre strategies.
That was a rights based surge. A democracy surge. Gas prices, irrational tariffs, and broad cost of living played a huge role. But we cannot ignore what animated the souls of our surge voters. And we absolutely cannot continue to ignore corruption as an issue even within our own Party “until the polls catch up”

Law violations are NEVER “law and order!” Excessive force is unconstitutional and a violation of laws, federal, state and local in many places.
Police punch Hispanic man already pinned to ground—22 times.
Officer had already shot him with taser.
"He stiffly hit the ground after being tased, and his head banged on asphalt," said witness.
"Cop mounts him and starts beating—later 3 more piled on."
Just because man was ocking some traffic.
Witnesses say he looked like he was having a mental episode—and was not trying to harm anyone.
Emergency crews were called and took the man to the hospital.
Local police confirmed the incident occurred at 3:15 pm—but released no other details except to say it was "under review."
Incident occurred on Auburn Way near 37th Street NE in Auburn, Washington.

Small ideas won’t meet voters where they are. Our new Civil Rights Monitor shows a majority ready for leaders willing to think as big as the problems they’re facing.

Dolores Huerta was a beacon of hope for civil rights in this country and a leader who demonstrated that women lead and that labor rights are civil rights. Our country is better because of her work, and we commit to continuing her legacy. civilrights.org/2026/10/28/dol…

Voters are powerful and politicians know it! Threats are designed to try and make us afraid to vote. But it’s not working! Voters are showing up in record numbers because voters understand this: it’s our power. Our rights. Our future! #Vote and take your people with you!

Voters, particularly elderly, young & voters with disabilities rely on mail in ballots. But DOJ has made itself an arm of a political party rather than the long arm of the law: “9th Circuit questions DOJ demand to set aside 20,000 California mail ballots”

From HBCUs to Clergy poll watchers, NAACP’s 10/29 Black Men Voter Day on 10/24, we are showing up to #vote because we know our power and we know how to use it. No politician will turn us around because we won’t let them! #NoKingsJustVoters is today!
Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state.
The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via @tmsimmons) greensboro.com/news/local/gov…

We are a rights loving country where we the people believe in freedom. We who believe in freedom are not resting! We are educating, mobilizing, engaging and demanding that our civil and human rights be respected and enforced. #Vote like your rights depend on it. Because they do.
NEW POLLING🚨: Our fifth annual Civil Rights Monitor poll found voters are alarmed about their rights, united in their values, and exceptionally fired up for the midterms. Dig into our key findings now: civilrights.org/2026/09/30/civ…

This is not only heart-wrenching. It is unnecessary! This administration has been cruel to human beings who work, have families here & deserve so much better. Haitian’s here with permission are being threaten, deported and terrorized. apple.news/AVJd_ETALRWCOq…
