Defend The Vote
Dedicated to electing candidates who will protect the freedom to vote and ensure everyone has a voice in our democracy
- In America, voters decide elections. That’s exactly what has Trump and Republicans so worried. They know voters have had it, and in a free and fair election they'll lose. Now, they’re attempting to rig the system every which way to hold onto power.
- Mike Johnson wants to use the fact that Republicans lost free and fair elections as an excuse to rig the system so they can win.
- Blocking eligible American citizens from voting. Ending vote by mail for millions. Making it harder for Americans with disabilities to vote. ❌ Say NO to the SAVE Act www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...
- Reposted by Defend The Votehappening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
- Republicans are bringing this awful bill back. Tell your Senators to vote NO on the SAVE Act. www.usnews.com/opinion/arti...
- Donald Trump has already broken laws and used violence in an attempt to overturn an election. Now he’s setting the stage to try to overturn another one. We cannot let that happen.

- A central part of Black history is the fight to expand democracy, often in the face of brutal resistance. On this 100th Black History Month, we honor the generations who fought for the freedom to vote and recognize that the struggle continues. 🗳️
- Reposted by Defend The VoteMurphy on Fox News Sunday: "I mean -- c'mon. We're still pretending that ICE is going after dangerous people? They aren't. What is happening in Minnesota right now is a dystopia. ICE is teargassing elementary schools, it is disappearing legal residents into cars, it is murdering American citizens."
- Republicans in Congress haven’t had the courage to put the country first. Now, voters are going to send them packing.
- Arresting journalists. Confiscating ballots. New voter restriction bills. Donald Trump and Republicans are setting the stage to interfere in the midterm elections. They know voters have had it with their corruption and chaos and are going to vote them out.
- Reposted by Defend The VoteWarnock on the arrest of Don Lemon: It’s chilling, and I think that is the intent. They intend to send chills down the backs of journalists. The authoritarian march is happening in real time, and it’s way past the time to wake up.
- Reposted by Defend The VoteRecall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy
- ✅ @ericswalwell.bsky.social has supported transparency, accountability, and stronger protections for our freedoms. As governor he will challenge the entrenched influence of corporate lobbyists and political insiders. That's why today we are proud to announce our endorsement.

- Reposted by Defend The VoteWe are now 42 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files
- Republicans know this bill will prevent millions of eligible American citizens from voting. They would deny the people who most need their voice heard and further empower billionaire donors and corporate lobbyists who already have too much influence. Read more wedefendthevote.org/dtv-calls-on...
- This is a dangerous escalation of a vendetta aimed at undermining confidence in our elections. They’re setting the stage to interfere in the next election and sending a chilling signal to election officials that the federal government can step in whenever a candidate loses and disputes the results.
- 💯 @raskin.house.gov is right. ICE and CBP are terrorizing communities. They are lawless - not law enforcement.
- Wild that Republicans may shut down half the government to defend these ICE raids. ICE is terrorizing communities and there’s no defense for it. www.cnbc.com/2026/01/27/u...
- Americans are making their voices heard. It’s working. Don’t stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

- After a year in office, Americans are reminded of how bad Trump is at being President.
- Republicans kicked millions of people off health care and gave the money to ICE to terrorize communities. No more. Fund Healthcare Not Ice!
- Overturning Roe was a failure of democracy. The system is broken. It serves political extremists and billionaire donors at the expense of everyon else. We need to clean it up - end the corruption, get dark money out, defend the vote. We need a democracy that reflects the will of the people.
- 16 years since Citizens United. The results: Politicians answer to their big donors, not us Corporations and billionaires write the rules. Working families pay more for healthcare, groceries & housing This year, elect candidates fighting to unrig the system and overturn Citizens United
- ✅ @jamestalarico.bsky.social has led the fight against the billionaire mega-donors and puppet politicians who rigged the system. Now he’s running to take the fight to Washington. That's why today we are proud to announce our endorsement.

- ICE funding could cover a third of SNAP, the entire school lunch program, Section 8 housing vouchers, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), a quarter of federal spending on K - 12 education, and a fifth of the costs of disability insurance. www.ms.now/opinion/ice-...
- Dr. King taught us to call out injustice from those in power. Today, Trump is weaponizing the federal government against political opponents & people fear federal agents terrorizing their neighborhoods. We’re committed to protecting every American’s civil rights — starting with the right to vote.
- Billionaires and corporate lobbyists rigged the system. Everyone else is left behind. We need bold sweeping reforms to end the corruption and bring real accountability.

- ICE needs to get out!
- Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"
- We need to win the U.S. Senate. @haleystevens.bsky.social gives Democrats the best shot.
- This is their priority, instead of focusing on protecting you.
- Reposted by Defend The VoteSometimes they just tell us they are weaponizing the criminal justice system to push their political agenda.
- The cuts to health care funding that are spiking your premiums 📈 are paying for: 💵 More ICE agents to terrorize neighborhoods 💵 Tax cuts for corporations and billionaires that are raising prices on everything 💵 Illegal military actions against Venezuela

- Because ICE is handling its job terribly. It is terrorizing communities.
- Reposted by Defend The VoteThe hearts and minds of the people are on our side. We will do everything we can to seek justice. We will fight with peaceful expression, in court, through public debate, and at the ballot box. Keep the peace. And keep the faith.
- ICE should immediately suspend operations that are not coordinated with local authorities until a complete, transparent, external investigation can be conducted. Read @brianlemek.bsky.social’s full statement ⬇️ wedefendthevote.org/dtv-calls-fo...
- This shooting would have been avoided is ICE wasn’t in the city in the first place.
- Believe it or not, Republicans are still voting to raise our health care costs, while Democrats are fighting to #StopTrumpsHealthCareCuts. Watch and see which Republicans vote to raise your premiums.
- This is an atrocity. ICE must be held accountable.
- Reposted by Defend The VoteA dark day for our democracy but a reminder that we have to fight for it.
- January 6, 2021 was not a protest. It was an insurrection. Trump glorified and rewarded that violence. Honoring Jan 6 means rejecting lies, condemning violence, & standing with the officers who defended democracy. Read @brianlemek.bsky.social's full statement. wedefendthevote.org/defend-the-v...

- 🇺🇸 @captmarkkelly.bsky.social is an American hero.
- 2025: Republicans spent the year kicking people off health care and cutting funding. 2026:
- Donald Trump promised voters no new wars and lower prices. Instead, he’s started an unauthorized war in Venezuela, he’s raising healthcare and energy costs, shutting childcare programs, and tearing down our democracy. It’s time to elect leaders who will put an end to his chaos and corruption.
