The murderous ICE regime continues to destroy lives. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

Excellent.

We will not forget the horrors wrought in our name.

🎯🎯🎯

Our regional planners note that a combination of healthcare cuts and declining Virginia birthrates since 2008 will slow growth in communities that rely heavily on medical care, research, and universities - like Lynchburg, Charlottesville, and Harrisonburg.

Welp.

Donald Trump’s private dinner guest (https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-kanye-west-entertainment-donald-trump-21ea30fc30a9a97074581015b25e18bf) helpfully explains the modern Republican Party platform.

Hey, sometimes the Constitution wins!!

Succinct analysis from @kaine.senate.gov. The American people did not vote for war with Iran.

This latest court decision against the redistricting proposal is laughably weak in a numerous dimensions. Don’t worry – it will be overturned shortly.  @fairelectionsva

Good headline!!

“‘I am begging my fellow politicians, my fellow Americans to realize that right now in this country we are not fighting over policy or political party,’ Pritzker said. ‘We are fighting over whether we are going to be a civilization rooted in empathy and kindness—or one rooted in cruelty and rage.’”

We can't just be about resisting the worst abuses, we have to be building a better more affordable future as well. That's what this campaign is all about.

Great brainstorm about how to support local businesses. Lots of anger at Congress for raising the cost of health insurance, but lots of appreciation for the great local barbecue and beer! Thanks to Mayor Wade and the many small business leaders for joining.

The corruption is pretty shocking!

Thank you for this very helpful summary of the inclusive zoning webinar! We will watch for news of the YouTube video so that people who missed it can still see it.

Nice!

look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british

Can the US ever catch up to Brazil, South Korea, and the UK in its standards of justice for all? Stay tuned!

Hey, promising idea! Maybe we should try that here?

This is a hugely important issue.

Oh hi, UVA!

Great read about composer Ivan Orr's new piece honoring four of the woman who made the Jefferson School the heart of Charlottesville's Black community, 100 years ago — and today. It's by Erin O'Hare. If you've been around Charlottesville more than a minute you know there's nobody better.

The Nelson County Democrats were fired up tonight! This is a room full of folks who care deeply about our community and are ready to put in the work to win this seat. This district is worth fighting for - and with this kind of energy, I know we can flip it. Let’s get to work!

One week from today! Join us Wednesday, February 25 - & BRING A FRIEND. What are you going to do when ICE shows up? Learn more about non-violent legal actions we can take to protect our neighbors.

We know it's only Wednesday, but... #CVille folks, we have your weekend all lined up for you...Sat. afternoon: Join a community panel and town hall to discuss what we want the future of Cville to look like, and how collective bargaining will help us get there! #UnionStrong #UVA

Well put!!

Just one more day until tomorrow. Sign up... you may be surprised just how important getting IZ right is to creating a future with more affordable housing in Cville!

Gov. Spanberger and the Dems are saving higher education in Virginia

I mean, that about captures it www.axios.com/2026/02/17/t...

This is a big deal. “Similar proposals have cleared the General Assembly in recent years — often with bipartisan backing — but were repeatedly vetoed by former Gov. Glenn Youngkin. This year, the political calculus has shifted.” virginiamercury.com/2026/02/17/v...

McGuire cannot hid the harm that he has caused: "this little whole in our healthcare system is just getting wider and wider" - McGuire has helped implement significant cuts to Medicaid and the ACA (in the coming years millions will lose their health coverage and see increasing healthcare costs)

From yesterday's action. To Representative McGuire (and his supporters): It’s okay to change your mind / Show us your courage / Leave this behind, It’s okay to change your mind / And you can join us / Join us here anytime. #itsoktochangeyourmind #voicesrising

Gwen and I are joining Americans in mourning the loss of our friend, Reverend Jesse Jackson. I could always pick up the phone for his wisdom and historic perspective.

Today the Minnesota House gaveled into session for the first time since we lost Speaker Hortman, Mark, and Gilbert. In the spirit of Melissa, we commit to doing our work with humility, grace, and compassion.

Today, I'm proud to announce that we've erased over $1.1 billion in medical debt for more than half a million Illinoisans. No one should be forced to choose between life-saving care and feeding their families. Stay tuned for more news on affordability in Illinois tomorrow.

This will be SUPER informative.

I’m at the city council meeting to listen to the Affordable Dwellings Unit Tax Abatement Program Proposal Presentation (yes that’s the title). Underneath all of this is the question of how to Charlottesville’s Inclusionary Zoning policies work well.

this saturday! bring your kids-- we'll have crafts and activities and at least one pokemon encyclopedia 🙏

Important things happening in cville. Add this to your calendar. I am looking forward to learning more about these efforts!

We are very aware of the potential for drama if this happens!

Today, the Senate of Virginia’s Democrats passed SB 1 to raise the minimum wage from $12.77 this year to $15 in 2028 and index that to inflation. I spoke about how a FT worker should be able to afford a studio apartment in Manassas Park. A minimum wage earner can’t even qualify for one right now.

The Senate of Virginia just finished voting on Senate bills (other than the budget), including passing collective bargaining and paid family & medical leave, plus a bill to lower your electricity bills and increase those of the data centers. Happy crossover, Richmond. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV-P...

It’s hard to believe, but it sure is true!

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

The final say belongs to Virginians on April 21st.
