Excessive force towards students who are protesting non-violently is unacceptable. The right to assemble peacefully is a hallmark of our democracy, which we must protect.
Let's be very clear: We must protect the right to protest, academic freedom, and free speech. These values are essential to college campuses and to our nation. At the same time we condemn antisemitism, anti Muslim and anti Arab hate speech and violence.
Rather than vouchers or a test & punish approach, the community schools approach would work well for many rural schools in need of improvement in Virginia, giving them the comprehensive help and support they need, and keeping them public. progressive.org/public-schools…
We support legislation that enables better access to healthcare, esp affordable healthcare. But these policies & programs must be made to work better for rural Virginians, with their perspectives & needs in mind. (And that's what NRVA is all about.) richmond.com/zzstyling/view…
I repped the @HanoverVADems at the campaign rally for @SpanbergerForVA the (now) sole Democratic candidate for Governor of Virginia 2025 today hosted by the @HenricoDems. Always a pleasure to see friends and neighbors in Henrico. And Abigail will be a game-changing Governor!
There's a lot more to be done but glad to see the Commonwealth is finally making progress on its relationships with Virginia Native American tribes. vpm.org/news/2024-04-2…

This came out of a faucet on the North side of Flint, Michigan YESTERDAY!!! So, tell me again….the water is fixed right?
This is disappointing. Our rural communities & public schools must include ALL people in our communities, including those of all faiths and belief systems. And we are opposed to state-imposed religion--it violates the 1st Amendment & is unconstitutional. dailyprogress.com/news/community…
If you're upset about what's happening at the hands of Hanover's congressional, state & local reps (who ALL are Republicans minus one Supervisor Faye Prichard), please follow the Hanover County Democratic Committee. I'm the Chair and this is our website: hvadems.com
I share Dem legislator &Ms. Holton's concerns re these charter lab schools, and then some. "I’m concerned that, in our haste to get this done quickly, we’re lowering the standards for what we’ve seen in the rest of lab schools, just to get it done fast" wvtf.org/news/2024-04-2…

When we look back at protest movements of the past - especially ones on college campuses - we always condemn violence against the protests. Let's hold those lessons close right now and not repeat the mistakes of the past.
It's particularly galling that the people who excuse the domestic terrorists at the Capitol on Jan 6th are calling for violence against mostly peaceful student protests. It really shows you how little they value the rights of Americans.
The GOP calls to bring in the national guard are dangerous.. The national guard should not be used to attack students exercising their freedom of speech. Thankfully President Biden and other leaders are rejecting that.
Cracking down on peaceful student protests is wrong. And counterproductive. Agreement is not the arbiter of whether to defend the excercise of expression. We don’t have to agree with students 100% to support their right to protest. As long as the speech is neither violent nor…
Across the country students and others are peacefully protesting the war in Gaza. Protest that attempts to make change is often times loud and disruptive. And can be provocative. That’s the nature of protest. Unfortunately, many peaceful protests are now being met with violence.
Let's be very clear: We must protect the right to protest, academic freedom, and free speech. These values are essential to college campuses and to our nation. At the same time we condemn antisemitism, anti Muslim and anti Arab hate speech and violence.
Excessive force towards students who are protesting non-violently is unacceptable. The right to assemble peacefully is a hallmark of our democracy, which we must protect.
These students are exercising their first amendment right to protest - they are not a threat to public safety. This violent response is dangerous and totally uncalled for. Law enforcement can maintain safety without force and without using chemical agents on unarmed protesters.

@VaHippen @RachelAnneLevy Seems like he has already been in office 10 years.
Can we talk about the IRONY that campus sexual assault is dealt with through laborious internal processes, a surfeit of "due process," and overwhelming fear of Type I error, whereas peaceful protests apparently warrant immediate external policing?
