One of the best things I ever did for myself was stop comparing my life trajectory to people who have support systems. I won’t say I never had help, but I’m just now truly understanding the difference between “assistance” and “support”.

Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

Trump administration concedes Maryland father from El Salvador was mistakenly deported and sent to mega prison | CNN Politics The Trump administration conceded in a court filing Monday that it mistakenly deported a Maryland father to El Salvador “because of an administrative error” and argued it could not return him because ...

A Maryland father was wrongly deported without due process and is now trapped in a dangerous El Salvador prison, torn from his family.

ICE calls it an "administrative error." We call it a grave injustice.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate Minnesota’s transgender community and recommit to standing up for our neighbors in the face of hatred.

As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.

"What country are you from? We don't give a crap about your opinion."

This about sums it up for this administration. They don't give a crap about anyone but themselves and their billionaire buddies.

Remove them from office. Remove them all.

Trump just signed an exec order purporting to require a passport (or a few other docs) to register to vote. The president doesn't have the power to override a law passed by Congress. This is the SAVE Act but much worse. It is an illegal power grab that would block tens of millions from voting.

I'm sorry but Jasmine Crockett saying, F"ind a little trans child that is ruining your life!" is well giving me life. She is both very right and very funny.

Warren Calls for Ethics Probe Into Tesla White House Event A group of Democratic senators led by Elizabeth Warren is calling for an ethics investigation into a White House event promoting Tesla Inc.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk turned the White House into a Tesla dealership.

Is that where you want your taxpayer dollars going? Nope.

I'm pushing for an ethics investigation.

With the North Battlefield VA Outpatient Clinic in Chesapeake facing staffing shortages and cuts to essential services for veterans, the question arises: Who would support a plan that jeopardizes care for those who have served our country? 🗳️ It's time to stand up for our veterans and demand better!

Virginia Beach begins clearing more than 5,000 trees at Pleasure House Point Residents continue to fight against the city’s $12 million project to convert the site into wetlands to bank legal mitigation credits.

Contractors for the city of Virginia Beach began removing more than 5,200 trees this week to make way for a $12 million wetlands mitigation project.

Absolutely devastating…

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

"The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!”

@USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?”

Federal judge indefinitely blocks Trump’s ban on transgender service members, saying it’s ‘soaked in animus’ | CNN Politics A federal judge has indefinitely blocked President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender service members, dealing a major defeat to a controversial policy the president resurrected from his first term.

The judge said it best, “the cruel irony is that thousands of transgender service members risk &!sacrifice their lives to ensure the very equal protection rights the military ban seeks to deny them.” We must fight for ALL our military & I mean ALL 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I'm really frustrated by the lies that Trump spreads in his speeches, especially about individuals and states that criticize him. It’s disheartening to see misinformation being used to undermine valid concerns and dissent. We need honest dialogue, not divisive rhetoric.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay, Virginia!

As a mom of three young daughters, I’m committed to making sure that young women and girls have the opportunities they need to thrive in our Commonwealth.

Praise the fake lord above!

If you end birthright citizenship. That makes everyone in your family lineage….an illegal immigrant. Unless you are of native american descent. Because, if your great-great grandparents were from italy/scotland/ireland/spain…nobody beneath them is an american citizen. 🤷🏻‍♂️

They try to silence us, hold us back, and strip away our rights, but women always fight back. This #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re doubling down, because when women lead, we all move forward.

NATO members spent $500,000,000,000.00 supporting the USA in their WAR in Afghanistan.

Fighting in a WAR that was not theirs, losing hundreds of soldiers.

"We need to hear a "THANK YOU" from the US. And, we want our money back. Let’s say, you give us all of the oilfields in Texas." 🤨

What a great turnout at our meet and greet in Culpeper this evening! Thank you to everyone who joined us to get involved and sign petitions to get me on the ballot. Our campaign is building support from every corner of Virginia!

Advocacy for trans rights is essential for the broader fight for equality, as discrimination against any group sets a dangerous precedent. Resist efforts to divide marginalized groups. Solidarity strengthens our fight against oppression and promotes a more inclusive society for all.

Oh joy! Starlink doesn’t work properly on cloudy days.
