Progressives NWFL

I’m in! I officially filed to run for Congress in Florida’s 1st District. Our campaign is powered by people, not special interests. So, I need y’all with me! ➡️ Donate and volunteer: gayforcongress.com

NEW: DOGE is trying to gift itself a building worth $500 million, court filings show. It's the culmination of a dramatic battle between DOGE and the United States Institute of Peace, a Congressionally funded think tank. wired.com/story/doge-tak…

Saturday is the last day of early voting! On your way to cast your ballot, join us for a FREE Get Out the Early Vote Concert and Block Party with 2 Chainz in Pensacola! All residents of Florida’s 1st Congressional District and their loved ones are welcome to join us.

@lesleyabravanel @gayforcongress is also the only one that knows #CD01 is in central time zone! #patronis had #47 call into a #telerally listed for 6pm CST, but they called in "late" at 5:15! 😹😹😹😹

Gay Valimont is the only candidate who LIVES in Florida's First District! 🙄 Valimont will make Floridians her priority, while her opponent supports the DOGE agenda. Valimont understands the economic hardships of everyday families, while Patronis lives off his family's wealth.

Gay Valimont is the leader we need in Florida's 1st Congressional District. But don’t just take our word for it! Hear what others are saying about her character, dedication, and vision for FL-01. 🗳️ #VoteValimont - Team Valimont

BREAKING: Democratic Rep. Sarah McBride just flipped the script and left MAGA Rep. Keith Self speechless after he intentionally misgendered her. This is amazing.

RETWEET if you stand with Rep. Al Green against Donald Trump! #StateOfTheUnion

so you refuse to take the stand. Well, you may go on and live until you are 90, but you’re just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90 and the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit.” --Martin Luther King, Jr

You refuse to do it because you want to live longer. You’re afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you’re afraid that somebody will stab you, or shoot at you or bomb your house;

“You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be. And one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause; and you refuse to do it because you are afraid.

The White House won’t commit to not cutting Medicaid. That’s healthcare for adults and children who need it. Cruelty is the point.

They receive $0 in taxpayer funds. Meanwhile, y’all are proposing defunding Veteran’s healthcare, Medicare, and Social Security when you think no one is watching. Doesn’t get lower than gutting some of the only lifelines left for veterans, seniors, widows, and the disabled.

(🧵) ELECTION THREAD: I’ve been waiting all night to say anything substantive about what’s happened, as I felt—I still do—that I might say something I’d regret. I hope you’ll consider following along as I try to process this with you all, and try to do it responsibly. Please RT.

@mdionnethompson @ramit Agreed. We've canvassed in this very Red district. Some women (if you could catch them alone) weren't aware that their husbands wouldn't know who they voted for. Told them for their safety, could stay registered any way they would like, but that NO ONE knows how they voted

I've heard some women aren't telling their husbands who they're voting for, so I decided to ask my community (anonymously) to see if this is true Can you guess what I found out? See the actual chats below

Thousands with the Women’s March are on the move through downtown Washington. Banner out in front reads WE WON’T GO BACK. Three days left until the election.

This is also a good time to say that there was a Women’s March in The Villages today and I was sad to have missed it. The pictures are a good reminder that the women are fighting back for the rights of their daughters, granddaughters, and great granddaughters.

The Women’s March for Kamala Harris in DC Thousands marching to the White House chanting “We’re not going back!” #womensmarch2024

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

This is the ad that triggered Trump operative Charlie Kirk. It would be a real shame if it went viral

Don't be scared of this election! Writing postcards to #voters for @MomsRising is a great way to keep the monsters away #MomsVote!
