Investing in our students' mental health is essential! Thank you, @virginia_tech @JMU and @VCU for your new partnership with TimelyMD. Students deserve round-the-clock access to mental health professionals.

Serving as Governor of Virginia is a full time job. Virginians deserve a full time Governor.

I’ve lost students and dear friends have lost family members to senseless gun violence in Richmond. My heart goes out to this family. Mass murders catch public eye, as they should, but we need focus too on daily shootings. Other countries regulate guns. We need fed action now.

This one hurts. We chopped it up recently about him getting custody of his lil man's. We need to have a serious conversation about guns in America. No good guy with a gun could have stopped this last night. #RIPStoner #sayhisname

This pharmacist needs a refresher on the law: 1. Contraception is still legal by federal law. 2. Abortion is still legal in Virginia. 3. No one can face liability for doing something that is currently legal.

This post is unavailable.

The people working hardest to restrict abortion in Virginia are the same ones who champion the “medical freedom” to prescribe off-label COVID treatment. twitter.com/femiyahtzee/st…

This is what investing in kids can look like in Virginia — health, support, & safety for students struggling with addiction — not punishment and pipelines to time behind bars. virginiamercury.com/2022/07/05/vir…

Karen, "Youngkin is better than DeSantis" does NOT equal Youngkin for President! #DontBelieveYoungkinPR

Opinion by Karen Tumulty: “The reason I’d like to see him — or someone like him — make a serious run for president has more to do with an existential crisis that faces our democracy.” wapo.st/3bNrEPt

Did you know Jefferson thought each generation should reboot its Constitution every 20 years or so? Throughout the 19th century Virginia mostly did: 1830, 1851, 1864, 1870, 1902. We’ve slowed down since then. Our last big rewrite was in 1971.

This nation is built from nations: indigenous, enslaved, migrants. As we continue to seek a common identity, we also celebrate the diverse cultures that give our home its various art, literature, languages, food, and ways of being in the world. Wishing everyone a safe 4th of July

This 4th, I honor the resilience & grace embodied in this statue of Dignity of Earth and Sky, in SD. According to artist Lamphere, she “represents the courage, perseverance, and wisdom of the Lakota & Dakota cultures”; the values of an entire people, not an individual portrait.

Our system of 23 CCs are a lifeline for Virginians seeking pathways for educational opportunities, academic credentials, and access to careers. @VCCS_SO needs leadership well-versed in higher ed, workforce development, and equity in education--not a puppet of right-wing agenda.

"So that’s what I think Glenn Youngkin is against…I do know that socioeconomic-wise…[community colleges] are the gateway for upward mobility better than anything.” Why does the Governor hate community colleges? They are the most powerful tools for democratizing higher learning.

Former VA Sec. Education @AtifQarni says Youngkin believes community college leaders are "woke...socialist...talking about critical race theory and equity" and "he truly hates that." bluevirginia.us/2022/07/audio-…

It was an honor to present this commending resolution that I carried and was passed through the House of Delegates to HOPE House Foundation at it's 44th Annual Dinner. Non-profits such as HOPE House are essential for our underserved communities.

July 1 is the day that new laws in Virginia take effect. Here are a few that may matter for you... 🧵

Why is the Governor directing Virginians, by Executive Order, to Donald Trump's website?
