Regular people (you + I), pay Virginia's 4.3% sales tax on all purchases. We buy a laptop, we pay sales tax. Amazon buys warehouse-sized computer systems that power their entire operation, and pays $0 sales tax. #KidsOverCorporations #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/5moHV12s

Can’t believe that Andy Kim is in two of the most haunting pictures of the last few years.

Security costs are not part of that arrangement. Coordinating Secret Service and local law enforcement for an event with 5,000 invited guests and 100,000 people at a nearby outdoor viewing area falls entirely on American taxpayers.

Come to Virginia Education Association's pride fest at bbgb featuring @iamgmjohnson.bsky.social on June 6th 1-3 pm! Register at the link www.bbgbbooks.com/events/54343...

Today marks the anniversary of the Brown v Board of Education decision. Seventy-two years later, we are so far from the equitable, justice-centered school system that our students truly deserve. We will never stop fighting for it.

I’m gonna post this video every day so we NEVER FORGET what Donald Trump did to the USA on Jan 6th

Governor Spanberger made a promise to Virginia's firefighters and first responders. We are counting on her to keep it. May 22nd is the deadline. Gov. Spanberger: your constituents need you to sign the collective bargaining bill. #VEAVotes #CollectiveBargaining app.sosha.ai/s/MUcI2LIu

In 1946, Virginia banned public sector collective bargaining specifically to stop Black hospital workers at UVA from organizing. It was a Jim Crow-era law. This new bill destroys old frameworks ＋ powers the collective. #VEAVotes #CollectiveBargaining app.sosha.ai/s/jCcCXIMA

We are coming to the end of #TeacherAppreciationWeek, but teachers' work never ends—and the appreciation shouldn't either. To ensure that our classrooms are stocked, our buildings are safe, and our colleagues are supported, we need community members to support public education all year long.

I made sure to include how many corgis tall the tsunami was, because science.

94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. 85% of teachers are working second jobs during the school year, often just to keep up with the cost of living. Meanwhile, the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Something has gone terribly wrong.

The union difference: Teachers earn 24% more and school support staff earn 13% more in states where they have collective bargaining rights, and unionized higher education faculty in all types of institutions earn more than their non-unionized peers. https://bit.ly/49pnkRd

For the first time in 80 years, the federal debt-to-GDP ratio is over 100%. In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo.

If the collective bargaining bill is signed into law, it will mark the first expansion of labor rights in the South for decades. Gov. Spanberger, this would be an incredible legacy to working people! #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/bUiDcHWt

Protect employees’ rights! Gov. Spanberger, it’s time to sign the collective bargaining bill. All public sector workers deserve the right to collectively bargain – and you can make it happen! #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/rGsO3nke

I’ve been traveling. Did the Sunday shows talk at all about the fact that Trump’s 60 days for his attack on Iran under the War Powers Act is up this week, or did all last night’s dinner incident take up all the oxygen?

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Governor Spanberger has until May 22 to sign, veto, or allow the legislation to become law. www.veanea.org/vea-applauds...

A regulatory kill switch. A 2030 delay. No accountability. That’s what we’re facing if the Collective Bargaining substitute bill passes. Ask the VA Senate and House to stand with working people and reject these amendments! #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/nDcBrmqG

"We're calling on the General Assembly to please vote no to the substitution to protect the rights of all Virginia's public servants." ✅Support educators. ✅ Support public sector workers. ✅ Support the ORIGINAL Collective Bargaining bill! app.sosha.ai/s/3sFO14rk

I just emailed my lawmakers to protect durable collective bargaining rights in Virginia. We need a law that stands the test of time and treats all public employees fairly. #HB1263 #SB378 #RejectTheSubstitute www.veanea.org/protect-the-...

Would you take $267,000,000 away from Virginia’s public schools? That’s what data center tax abatements cost our students, educators, and communities in 2024. Tell the Senate to make it right! #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/C0VFm9dl

$1.02 billion dollars. That’s what sales and use tax exemptions cost Virginia in 2024, including about $212 per student. Imagine what that money could mean for our kids, and tell the VA legislature: no data center tax abatements in this year’s budget! #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/jIIqDkdj

"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —MLK Jr.

What’s more important, a student’s education or a big corporation’s tax break? Senator Louise Lucas, Senator Mamie E. Locke, and Senator Creigh Deeds know: they’re fighting to make sure Virginia’s budget prioritizes what’s best for our young people. #VEAVotes

Trump is letting huge corporations that suck up to him evade antitrust enforcement. State attorneys general should fight back by filing their own lawsuits to break up Live Nation/Ticketmaster and block Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. Enough of Trump's oligarchy.

Highly profitable data centers don’t need VA's tax breaks. Working families need investment to bring down costs. End tax giveaways to some of the world’s wealthiest tech companies & make quality-of-life investments for everyday Virginians. #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/FSGhjZ5D

Closing tax loopholes for big tech companies building data centers could make our tax code fairer and life more affordable for everyday families. #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/x6uut3hH

Patel has fired 10 FBI employees who were involved in the federal investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and related probes.

Last Monday, Virginia Education Association members were out in force supporting public education at the Capitol. Educators like me know how important it is to stay in front of our legislators, our governor, and our community! #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/qgOV7ozs

Why are our teachers and support staff paying the same tax rate as people making more than $1 million/year? A millionaire’s tax would make our tax code fairer and ensure our schools have the resources they need for kids to thrive. app.sosha.ai/s/MDtgX2mr

HB1263 will ensure all public employees, including educators across Virginia, have the right to collective bargaining. Thank you Del. Lopez, Del. Fowler, Del. Helmer, Del. LeVere Bolling, Del. Feggans and @jeionward.bsky.social for voting it out of subcommittee! #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/HrdeMOXl

During her campaign, @abigailspanberger.com indicated STRONG support for collective bargaining. The legislature must pass HB1263/SB378 and show that Virginia supports our public sector workers! #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/Mtssgc9V

Fair wages. Safe working conditions. And the best service possible for our students. HB1263/SB378 would make joining a union possible for ALL public service workers, including educators. Thank you Sen. Lucas for voting to pass it! #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/AMxdN9kg

Congress cut the budget of SNAP by 20% to help pay for their billionaire tax cut. Millions of children will lose access to meals both at school and at home—unless we act. https://www.nea.org/advocating-for-change/action-center/take-action/reverse-harmful-snap-cuts

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸
