Next week, our #StopTheCamps Coalition launches a Week of Action with Vote Common Good, Faith in Democracy, and others:
✉️ Delivering 70,000 letters to the White House
🙏 Prayer vigils outside ICE facilities nationwide

If anyone tells you this is about “border security,” show them this clip and tell them they’re full of it. Trump has turned ICE into a paramilitary goon squad unleashed to terrorize, silence, and target anyone who gets in his way.

Turn Left PAC @turnleftpac.bsky.social · 1d

When bystanders shouted in outrage, ICE agents sped off in an unmarked van — and rammed into a woman driving to work. Then they dragged her out of the car too. Guns drawn.

SPECIAL ELECTION ALERT: December 2nd!

Turn Left PAC @turnleftpac.bsky.social · 1d

A new video out of Chicago should make every American’s blood boil. Trump’s ICE thugs violently arrested a journalist — an American citizen — covering their raid. They threw her face-first into the concrete, zip-tied her hands, and hauled her away.

Low-turnout specials are where disciplined organizing flips seats.

Let’s make this one count. Help us get these billboards up, keep the ads running, and turn this race left.

Chip in today so we can lock in our first buys and keep them up through Election Day December 2nd. turnleft.link/tennessee7

Democrats can FLIP this district and stop MAGA's attacks on healthcare!

Turn Left PAC @turnleftpac.bsky.social · 6d

Our team is putting together a brand new ad that will blanket the district and target the voters who decide low-turnout elections.

We will make sure every persuadable voter sees exactly the type of extremism Van Epps stands for and why Aftyn Behn is the choice that puts people over chaos.

Turn Left PAC @turnleftpac.bsky.social · 6d

We’re backing Democrat Aftyn Behn — a fighter for rural hospitals, workers’ rights, reproductive freedom, and transparency in government. She’s the real deal and doesn’t take a dime from AIPAC or the corporate war machine.

He supports Trump’s internment camps and deportation plans, and he’ll join MAGA extremists to throw millions off their healthcare and double insurance premiums.

That’s why our new billboard is ready to drop!

With the right pressure at the right moment, we can move the dial and flip this seat.

🚨 ALERT: TN-07 SPECIAL ELECTION 🚨
There’s a special election happening in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District and Democrats have a real shot at flipping it.

GOP nominee Matt Van Epps is a MAGA-first radical backed by Trump & Jim Jordan.

Help us get our new ad up at Mar-A-Lago!

Genocide is a choice. Continuing it is a choice.

And Democrats who want to win in 2026 — as we believe they must to save our republic from Donald Trump – must choose truth and humanity now.

Stop the genocide.
Free Palestine.
Hold every politician accountable for their silence.

Now, half a million Gazans are starving to death.

Our politicians & media say “it’s complicated.” It’s not. It’s genocide, funded by American tax dollars & supported by both parties.

The majority of Americans see it clearly:
➡️ It’s genocide.
➡️ Israel is responsible.
➡️ Our government is complicit.

They bombed apartment buildings, hospitals, and schools.
They struck power plants and bakeries.
They turned Gaza into rubble.

Buried beneath that rubble are tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians, over 67K dead, including 20K children. Experts believe the true number is in the 100s of 1000s.

Benjamin Netanyahu — a documented war criminal on trial for corruption — saw the attack as an opportunity. He and his far-right cabinet launched their long-desired campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

In 2022 — before that attack — Human Rights Watch reported the deadliest year for Palestinian children in 15 years. Dozens were killed by the occupying Israeli army in Gaza and the West Bank.

One day later, that record was shattered.

Two years ago today, the world reeled from the horrific October 7th attacks against civilians in Israel. Innocent people died. Hostages were taken. It was a crime. Unquestionably.

But history didn’t begin on October 7th. And it didn’t end that day either.

If you want these creeps to see the truth every time they look at a screen, chip in now and help us blanket the airwaves until they cave.

Every dollar you give keeps the ad climbing, straight into DC, Trump’s golf resorts, and Johnson’s backyard.

Turn Left PAC @turnleftpac.bsky.social · 7d

At Turn Left, we say to hell with that.

Our new ad buy is hammering Capitol Hill, the White House, & Mar-a-Lago with one message: 👉 RELEASE. THE. FILES.

We’ve already reached 250K people across DC and Florida, and we’re not stopping until they cave.

🎥 Watch our ad here ⬇️

Trump wants to run from his promise to release the Epstein files. We're going to chase him down with this new ad.

Turn Left PAC @turnleftpac.bsky.social · 7d

He swore in two Republicans during recess, but refuses to seat Adelita during the MAGA-manufactured shutdown because she’s ready to sign the petition.

Trump and Johnson think they can bury this story. They think they can protect the men who trafficked, abused, and bought children.

Turn Left PAC @turnleftpac.bsky.social · 7d

Adelita’s locked out of her office. Her Arizona constituents have no representation. And the petition is still one signature away from blowing the lid off what Trump’s cronies are desperate to hide.

Johnson is keeping the House dark to run cover for the predators on that list.

Help us get our new ad up at Mar-A-Lago!

Turn Left PAC @turnleftpac.bsky.social · 7d

Last week, Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva was ready to become the 218th signature needed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So what did Speaker Mike Johnson do? He blocked her swearing-in.

A week later — nothing’s changed.

But Johnson’s stalling tactics aren’t over yet. We’re staying on offense until the Epstein files are public and the victims get justice.

Trump wants to run from his promise to release the Epstein files. We're going to chase him down with this new ad.

Turn Left PAC @turnleftpac.bsky.social · 13d

So what’s Johnson doing? REFUSING to swear her in, hoping we’ll shut up about Epstein. Sorry, Mikey. You’re not getting out of this one.

We’ve already launched a new ad buy flooding the airwaves around Capitol Hill, the White House, and Mar-a-Lago with one message: RELEASE THE FILES.

Turn Left PAC @turnleftpac.bsky.social · 13d

Democrats should finally have enough signatures to force the release of the Epstein files. Emphasis on should.

Adelita Grijalva just won a special election in Arizona and signed on to the discharge petition. Her signature makes 218, the number needed to rip this out of Mike Johnson’s hands.

I just joined Turn Left PAC on the road to saving our democracy.

Turn Left PAC @turnleftpac.bsky.social · 18d

All of their plans depend on us being compliant and complacent. So we’re not going to give them a moment’s rest.
