As we step into 2026, America turns toward her 250th birthday. At the Redefining Freedom Center of Virginia, we believe this moment calls for reflection and resolve. Freedom is not static. It must be protected, renewed, and reimagined—generation by generation. 👉 This new video captures our vision.

Make Congress take action and unmask ICE!

The antisemitic attack at #BondiBeach is horrifying. The Redefining Freedom Center condemns antisemitism and reaffirms our mission to build bridges, confront hatred, and defend human dignity. 🕯️#Hanukkah

I am so thrilled about our first full year @rfcenterofva.bsky.social and the work ahead in America's 250th year, 2026. At RFC, we believe freedom begins with meeting basic human needs — food, warmth, dignity, and opportunity. Wednesday, we put that belief into action at Loudoun Education Foundation.

Proud RFC moment: We are investing in Loudoun’s children and families. Our $5,000 grant will help address school lunch balances, food insecurity, and winter needs. Gratitude to the LEF “FuelEd” team for welcoming us on Wednesday! Read More: www.redefiningfreedomcenterofvirginia.org/press-room/r...

I had a chance to discuss my @virginiamercury.com piece on #WinsomeSears and the #VirginiaElections2025 with Virginia's local news team 13 News Now in Norfolk, Virginia. WATCH: youtu.be/jy72vCNgcAI?.... #VirginiaElections2025

I co-authored this piece with @colitafairfaxphd.bsky.social about the failed candidacy of #WinsomeSears and why her candidacy mattered — as a first. And how she could have taken an opportunity to build bridges and ended up losing by 15 points: virginiamercury.com/2025/11/05/t... @virginiamercury.com

Today is the day: Election Day! This is your chance to elect leaders who are eager to turn the tide that so many of us feel is rushing against us. We encourage everyone to VOTE. And remember, Forward has many candidates on ballots today: www.forwardparty.com/candidates

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us: “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Happy Election Day, Virginia. We have two great FORWARD candidates on the ballot in the House of Delegates races--in Virginia 11, we have an ARMY VET in Brandon Givens. And in Virginia 72--we have an Air Force VET in Kristin Farry. Please consider giving them your support. #VAElections

My take on the transformative gift that is MacKenzie Scott and her almost $1Billion in giving to HBCUs since 2020, and why what she is doing goes far beyond philanthropy--it is protecting the future of Academic Freedom, and Diversity. READ: www.forbes.com/sites/sophia... @forbes.com #HBCUs

Pam Bondi’s defensive attacks against Senate Democrats questioning her was not the flex she thinks it was. All it did was vividly point out how she has abandoned Justice Dept. independence to serve the desires of her authoritarian boss.

Be clear, President Trump's actions of sending Guard Troops into Portland or Chicago are illegal and unconstitutional.

A draft White House memo suggests that furloughed federal employees need not be paid for time they didn’t work during the government shutdown, an administration official told CNN. https://cnn.it/4gZtBpu

We remember. We mourn. We act. On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas committed an act of terror that killed many and left 48 hostages still held two years later. We condemn that evil and commit to humanitarian relief for civilians, and to work to fight antisemitism and hate here at home. #Israel #October7th

@iamsophianelson.bsky.social @bonhanson.bsky.social people need to see and understand I may not have all the answers but I know this undue stress is not the answer

-secondary teachers lose 2 weeks of instruction Then the teacher has the write anywhere from 15-60 individual reading plans with little training This move is to push public educators to the brink We want what’s best for all students Stressed out teachers is not it @breakingkind.bsky.social

Test designed for elementary classes Let me break it down -a screener test for reading is given in early elementary (the teachers teach one class of 30 ideally) -the screener test is 5 parts -middle school teachers have 3-5 classes of 30 Elementary teachers can have 2-3 days to administer it

🚨 PSA Republican Virginia is setting up teachers to fail 1. Raised the cut score on a reading test when most kids are having a rough time making the 400 mark (score has been the same for over 20 years-why now?) 2. Secondary teachers are given double the work load (in Virginia) by having to give a

Good Sunday Morning.

We can feel deep sadness and outrage at the tragic shooting of podcaster #CharlieKirk, and at the same time, we must condemn Censorship of any kind by the government or government actors. We must use this moment to build bridges to and with one another. Not further our divides. #FreeSpeech
