My amazing mom has written a moving YA novel about the experiences of impoverished, desperate Okie migrants who moved to California during the Depression (like her family) -- where they were demonized. It's so relevant to the terrible treatment of immigrants today. www.amazon.com/Cora-Lee-Oki...

I called VA Gov. Glenn Youngkin's office to ask if he would deploy the military to combat Virginians' rights to peaceful free speech at the #NoKings protest on Saturday the way that Trump had sent troops to CA. "The Governor has not released a statement yet," she said, "but he stands with Trump."
