Newport News needs to be ready for this ongoing recession. Our economy depends far more on federal workers than most cities, and 52% of all housing in the city is rental property people are going to lose jobs, and homes. And we need to be ready to protect our community.

So between this and the recent Supreme Court decision, we are rapidly moving towards an America where federal law now works on a State by State basis.

This is why police have badges and numbers. We need to be able to identify real law enforcement officers. A masked man in non-standardized gear could be ANYONE. You can buy "Police" and "ICE" velcro patches at the Airsoft shop around the corner or on Amazon. They aren't enough of an indication.
“ICE” bounty hunters made this possible. By making it easy to cosplay as federal agents: masked faces, no visible ID, no official vehicles, and gear that any yahoo can buy on Amazon. They look like criminals!

This is message to all politicians. Our desire to have money out of politics, is far better motivator than any million dollar ad campaign.

🚨 PLEASE call your reps TODAY & EVERY DAY & demand that the Felon-In-Chief is impeached & removed. Let them know if they won't do the right thing, we will make sure they are out of a job next year. We ALL have a voice & we need to use it instead of complaining.

ICE had been seen multiple brandishing guns at innocent observers. These people are over-funded, under-trained, and unidentified. This is unacceptable.
ICE's increasingly aggressive tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They do not make us any safer.
I’m calling for an independent investigation right now — this abuse of power must end.

Today we honor Juneteenth, a reminder that freedom was fought for, not given. We must honor the past by continuing to fight every day for justice, truth, and equality.

Virginia is uniquely vulnerable to the current administration. Every politician in this great state should be working to protect our people.

Always remember, you don't have to save the world on your own, but you can help save something. You city, your neighborhood, your neighbor, or even just yourself. Even a single life saved is worth it all.

I fly the US flag at protests, and its been very successful, not only in sending the message, but getting people more on the fence about getting out in the streets to join in. It was designed as a symbol against Tryanny, and I will NOT give it up.
Incredibly important!
Keep protests peaceful!
Fly American flags only right now.

Very true. Now is not the time for debate. Its time to come together and support action. A day for debate may come again, but we won't have that luxury if things keep going the way they are. We must stand together, united under the goal and dream of LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL.
If I talked to Gavin Newsom about politics for 20 mins, I guarantee I’d find a list of things on which we disagree. Right now? I do not care. And if you sincerely believe that democracy is under attack, you shouldn’t either.
Find the helpers and the fighters right now, and get behind them. Please.

If they won't lower our taxes, can we at least put all this money towards the common good? Knowing about hurricanes in FLORIDA of all places seems important! My niece lives there!
No? Just going to spend it on giving ICE military cosplay gear? And on Parades? Greeeeeeaaaatttt.

The woman who shouted "people will die" at Joni Ernst, India May, is a nurse and a librarian who first got involved in politics by going to a town hall about bills aiming to defund libraries.
Now she's running for state house.

Attended the #NewportNews city council meeting today. Many people came and spoke up about various issues affecting them and our community.
The only common thread was that we all were concerned by the lack of transparency and how slow the city is to act on the needs of its people.

As it was Easter just yesterday, I feel its appropriate to spread this message. Rest in God's Grace, Pope Francis.
In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.
