From laughter to leadership — they remind us that politics can be joyful, hopeful, and full of connection. Florida’s future is already leading on and off the dance floor. ✨

💃🕺 When the Macarena drops, democracy dances!

Couldn’t be prouder of our USF College Dems & Pinellas Young Dems for bringing that energy to the Pinellas Democrats’ Masquerade Ball. These young leaders are the heartbeat of our movement. 💙🎭

Texas’ Abbott and Florida’s DeSantis are cut from the same cloth—using gerrymandering to lock in power. Mid-decade redistricting isn’t leadership, it’s voter suppression. When politicians pick their voters, democracy loses.

What a fantastic lesson on making assumptions vs. actually paying attention.

Vance is the child of gay parents and wore a red hat that said “Make America Gay Again.”

The reactions they got are very interesting.

Not every red hat is bad and blanket assumptions are often wrong.

Kudos to his dads!🏳️‍🌈
Hello everyone I have followed you all on my personal account and also my political accounts that I represent. The Pinellas Democratic Party and the Largo Mid Pinellas Democratic Club.
To everyone who made this day possible—thank you. Let’s keep building, laughing, organizing, and standing up for what’s right. This is the way.

From voter registration to dancing with Darth Vader, this event blended civic action with joy. We brought together local Democratic clubs and caucuses to show what community organizing can look like—hopeful, fun, and future-focused.
Yesterday’s event started as an idea—and became something powerful. So proud of what we built together. Thank you to everyone who showed up, volunteered, and believed in the vision. This is how we #TakeBackFlorida—one connection at a time.
100 days into Trump’s second term and Floridians are hurting.
Prices are up. Rights are being rolled back.
He promised relief—we got chaos.
We have to fight harder, organize smarter, and stay united.

Libraries should reflect everyone—not just a narrow political agenda.
Let’s protect our right to read, to be seen, and to belong.

Worse: County Commissioner Vince Nowicki is now pushing this censorship countywide, starting with Palm Harbor Library and East Lake Library.

This is a coordinated attempt to silence diverse voices across our public library system. We must respond.
🚨 Our libraries are under attack in Pinellas County. Rep. Berny Jacques is threatening to defund Largo Library unless they remove LGBTQIA+ books, pride flags, and inclusive children’s materials. 📚🏳️‍🌈
#ProtectOurLibraries #StopTheCensorship
Pinellas Democrats believe in protecting our public libraries, funding our schools, and building a future where affordability, access, and opportunity are guaranteed for every family.

Let’s build that Florida—together.

Where families don’t have to choose between paying for insurance or paying for groceries.

This isn’t a fantasy.
It’s possible—if we fight for it.
Imagine a Florida where every child has a safe space to learn, dream, and grow.

Where libraries are celebrated, not censored.

Where books open minds—not trigger book bans.

Where public schools are fully funded, and every student has a fair shot.
Where is Anna ? our missing member of Congress? She was invited as was the press to a town hall hosted by @pinellasdems.bsky.social and @fladems.bsky.social
Looking to do something?
Some progressives refused to vote for Kamala over Gaza. The result? A win for Trump in key areas.

We can hold leaders accountable without handing power to those who’ll do worse. Elections have real consequences. #VoteBlue
