Jamie Raskin and American Virtue Congressman Raskin is a rare model of moral courage and virtue. How do we help young people live a life of service? His life is an answer.

Jamie Raskin is a class act. I wrote about how became the person he is and how we can help develop more young folks to follow his example. Take a look 👇

Thanks, @raskin.house.gov

Dems need to get serious about DC statehood. For real. No more pussyfooting. With troops in the streets, the time is now.

“Imagine if Congress declared Wyoming a Federal Natural Resource District…managed by the government and no longer have congressional representation.

Republicans would of course be appalled. Disenfranchising 600,000 people who live in Wyoming would be immoral.”

Homestand Book Review Will Bardenwarper writes about "small town baseball and the fight for the soul of America."

"We're calling on Amazon to stop powering ICE. Companies that profit off attacks have no place in DC." An ICE officer with his back to the camera is isolated in black and white. In the background is the exterior of a Whole Foods market, an Amazon Locker, and the Amazon Prime package tape that appears on many delivery boxes.

Starting today, on #PrimeDay, we want to talk about one of the companies that is powering ICE's attacks in DC. 🧵

Immigration, Schools, and the Blair Student Walk Out Montgomery Blair High School students closed out the school year by rejecting cruelty, gathering in community, and affirming the dignity of all people. They're teaching us a lesson.

Blair student leaders staged a walkout in rejection of ICE cruelty and to affirm the dignity of everyone in their community. I wrote a reflection on it here…

Frustrating indeed. The council could also spend more on DC Statehood efforts so that we have a fighting chance of being represented in Congress. We currently spend 300k on becoming the 51st state. You get what you pay for.

Cincinnatus

George Washington was called the American Cincinnatus-a high honor.

The Roman Cincinnatus did his duty, handed back power, and happily returned to his farm.

This once was the American ideal for both military and public office. Could be yet again

A better world is possible.

From DC to LA, we are united to reject this administration’s agenda of violence and celebrate one another instead. #FreeDC

Proud that our students will not sit by or stay silent as their Blair classmate was taken by ICE. We cannot stay quiet and hope for the best when the worst is already happening. It’s time to flex. To organize. To work harder and smarter. It’s all hands on deck.

So proud of these Blazers for standing up and speaking out for their community

Great meeting talking about and working towards #DCStatehood

Teachers save student from dropping out after father detained by ICE For teachers at Montgomery Blair, immigration enforcement is not just a political topic —it's a daily reality.

I'm proud of my fellow teachers defending our students as best they can from this vile cruelty.

Thank you, Senator!

Silence from D.C. elected leaders is inexcusable. Let them know…
