-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

I’m Abigail Spanberger. I grew up in Virginia and was raised by a nurse and a law enforcement officer.

Service runs deep in my family — and it’s guided every step of my journey, from the CIA to Congress. Now I’m running for Governor to keep putting Virginia families first.

Be afraid.
Take the time to feel it.
Walk away from the keyboard for a night or two.
Get your head on straight.

So you can come back to the protesting, calling, writing letters resistance, recharged and determined.

They're counting on despair.
Give them spite.

The vast majority of the media refuses to write (clear, accurate, direct) headlines like this. Why is that??? bluevirginia.us/2025/04/sund... h/t @therickydavila.bsky.social

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Pass it on.
#StandWithUkraine

Have courage
Stand up to bullies
Be like President Zelenskyy

Trump's Social Security Administration commissioner just called for a 50% staff reduction.

This would gut SSA field offices and make it harder for millions of seniors to access benefits. 

Make no mistake: this is an attack on Social Security itself.

This link shows the status

A bill to get rid of OSHA. Yes, it was introduced last year & didn’t go anywhere but there’s a whole new level of crazy in DC now. (Introduced on 03Jan2025 & currently in committee)

Agreed - I expect everyone will hate us, if they don’t already. Good old DJ & his diplomatic manner

Ah, but who is “they” and who is “us”?

Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear safety workers but can’t figure out how to reach them The workers, whose agency oversees the nation’s nuclear stockpile, had been fired on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts.

So, this happened

Even better

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly.

Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences.

The public must turn on this madness and soon.

3 seconds into the game & there’s been 2 fights. Oh wait - 9 seconds & a third fight. Gotta love hockey!
