I’m a journalist, a storyteller, a poet, a writer. The best part of my day is when I get to sit with a new friend and watch their eyes light up as we get to the heart of the interview.

Sent to a concentration camp, and unlikely to ever be released. Hate does not make America great. #immigration #humanrights #fiftyfiftyone #bluetrianglesolidarity

Religious Right uses threat of extortion, smear campaign in attempt to push openly gay man out of Virginia race for lieutenant governor. Governor Youngkin agrees, asks John Reid to step out of the way. Shame. #bigotry #virginia #politics #news #nyt #wapo #project2025 www.wtvr.com/news/local-n...

Want 2 vote 4 prez again? Let your voices be heard. Public comment b4 12 AM at site below. VOTERS WILL need a passport or a military ID or a rare type of REAL ID only available in 5 states. Birth Certificates/marriage certificates WON’T WORK #vote #indivisible www.regulations.gov/commenton/EA...

To clarify, all Democratic members of Congress should interrupt proceedings until Garcia is returned. #civildisobedience

Hey SC, another southern cousin is feeling it too! “We must all hang together or assuredly we shall hang separately” - Ben Franklin. We love ya, Virginnie!

This weekend! 4/18. 4:30 - 5:30 PM.— fill Entranceway Park with signs calling MAGA to pray for folks 47 is harming. 4/19. 11 AM - 12, Sit-In. Wear Black. Same Park. Performative. Why? MAGA is holding a Presidential Inaugural Prayer wknd in Roanoke, VA across the street from protest location.

Trump erroneously claims he can remove existing regulations without public notice or comment. Authoritarianism 101.

Roanoke, VA: Monday, 4/13 protest: downtown @ Congressman Ben Cline's office and Elmwood Park @roanokeindivisible.bsky.social @bluevirginia.bsky.social @bethmacy.bsky.social @andreapitzer.bsky.social

Act blue & Indivisible appear to be two groups at the top of the list. An FBI spokesperson declined to comment when asked about potential investigations into the organizations. But White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not downplay the threat. Elias Law Group is representing the groups.

When Donald Trump inevitably dies while taking a shit in the oval office bathroom, Karoline Leavitt is going to spend weeks telling the press corp he is still alive, even after his funeral and Vance is sworn in as president.

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

To all the #democrats saying you support #garcia and his immediate return to the US, words are NOT ENOUGH. Stand up like #Booker. When #Congress returns from recess, show up and interrupt congressional proceedings until Garcia is returned. #resist #goodtrouble #handsoff #indivisible #mobilize

Join Roanoke Va in protest this weekend.

Let's do this! Over here in Virginia, these places are a dime a dozen. I'm mailing my cards on Wednesday. Are you? #goodtrouble #mailcall #postcards #resist #moveon #indivisible #handsoff #disruption #clogtheworks #makesomenoise #dei #altnationalparks #blm #blacklivesmatter #happylosersday

American women friends. Are you aware one of the policies listed in the SAVE Act, the GOP are pushing through, is that women’s birth certificate names must match your current name. All of it. Changed your name when you got married? You won’t be able to vote. Call your Congress members!

They looked the Gestapo in the eye and lived through the Holocaust by hiding. They told me their stories last week. They said we have to help each other. “If it could happen in Germany, it could happen anywhere.” They said, “Never again.” no paywall. www.roanokerambler.com/roanoke-area...

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Without even holding a preliminary hearing, a Mississippi court ordered a newspaper to remove an online editorial that criticized the alleged backdoor actions of a local government body. Read through the thread. The court’s actions are unconstitutional.

Playing the game justifies the game. AMERICA HAS NO KING.

Did not have a relaxing weekend. In fact, I feel shittier today than I did 48 hours ago. May I have a do-over, please?

"We are deeply concerned that unauthorized system access could be occurring across the federal government and could pose a major threat to the personal privacy of all Americans and to the national security of our nation," the lawmakers wrote. www.reuters.com/world/us/hou...

Sometime after Senator Mark Warner posted a video about he voted “no” for RFKJr while not mentioning the coup, I forgot how drive-thrus work. I bypassed the ordering screen entirely and drove right up to Window #1 with a smile and a “hey!” Everyone involved was bewildered, but I got some fries.

Today, I met a stranger who said to me, “Once you change what you have, that’s it. You can’t go back.” For context, he was talking about one specific local issue. But, man. I’ve sat and pondered his words this afternoon. Even in our outrage, we must move forward with care.
