In my spare time, I attend school board meetings and write about them, which is kind of weird, but mostly necessary.

Look at this GOP for Virginia's highest offices. Herrity is not my cup of tea but at least he would have brought competence to the slate.
I guess they will rely on culture war BS again because they have nothing else.
Sadness. We need to kick some a&&, my fellow Virginians. Pls!

Author of the Fairfax Times article is Asra Nomani -- longtime conservative author and columnist. (i.e., not an objective reporter).

The nationwide measles outbreak now stands at more than 800 cases, but you probably don’t know that since RFK Jr is keeping a tight lid on that news.

The orange areas in the below map show where the vaccination rate is under the 95% coverage target among kindergarteners. That’s a LOT of orange!

🧵Pls think carefully how you will handle yourself if you attend a meeting. Many BlueSkiers are asking why no one helped this woman. They did help. What happened here was well managed by the protestor and her allies.

The journey of the birds shows us that when we look for leadership, we find it within. Instead of looking for "A leader [who] will tell us the right things to do," we each need to work together to lead us out of the chaos and cruelty of this administration.

MAGA are just the worst. Largest layoff in DC history and they think it's funny that thousands of families are being uprooted illegally by an authoritarian President who is letting the Heritage Foundation write his Executive Orders for him.
