It is with great enthusiasm and humility that I accept the Democratic nomination for the Virginia House of Delegates (HD-50). I promise to work every single day to win this race in the fall and to make you proud.

For #InternationalWomensDay I recognize the responsibility we have in raising all children, not just our “own”. My aunt who treats unaccompanied children says: “The parents pay people to take them but the children get robbed, starved, raped.” #AllOurKids podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

This is the field where my grandmother’s family was murdered in April 1943. I met one of the witnesses, a neighbor, several years ago. She said she saw them being marched away, was told by a Nazi to get back inside or risk joining them... 1/#InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay

Are you ready to make the record-breaking @JoeBiden - @KamalaHarris win even more historic? Join us in urging #PresidentElectJoeBiden to appoint @RepDebHaaland for Secretary of the Interior. She would be the 1st Native American to lead it. Please watch and share! #DebforInterior

Here's where we are: 1. Local elections officials are taking the time necessary to make sure every eligible vote is counted. 2. Trump is losing and trying to crown himself the winner. 3. Voters choose the future. We fought for fairer elections and it’s working.

This little girl saluting Ruth Bader Ginsburg's casket on the steps of the US Supreme Court in her Superwoman costume with a rose in her hand just did me in.

.@JoeBiden—you must start putting more Spanish language ads out to the Latinx community. Even more than that: you must reach out to the Latinx community. Do not rest on your laurels. Reach out relentlessly to Black men. Do not take anything for granted. #MOW2020 #BidenHarris2020

Thrilled to support @KamalaHarris as next VP. I was honored to speak with @JoeBiden at length over the weekend and again today. His focus on reaching out to every corner of our country speaks to how he will lead us. I look forward to doing all I can for Team #BidenHarris!

Perhaps the best news to come out of #washingtonDC today: @GWUniversity commits to #ClimateChange solutions including reversing historic emissions. #OnlyAtGW led by students, championed by Trustees, guided by faculty. We are acting on #ClimateChange @washingtonpost @SustainDC
GW has committed to full divestment from fossil fuels. We are joining an elite & expanding group of universities to eliminate all investments in fossil fuel companies from its endowment. GW students over the years have led this effort. We recognize their power & their voices.

The president is who he is. He has not changed. He will not change. The question that remains unanswered is: who are we as Americans?

We’ve seen the power that our voices have when we speak out about injustice––but we also know the toll that it takes on our mental health. Today, I talked to @repjohnlewis, Bryan Stevenson, and @MBK_Alliance activists about ways to keep our mental health a priority at this time.
“We inherited extraordinary strengths, but we also inherited trauma.” @BarackObama joined @repjohnlewis and Bryan Stevenson for a town hall today on the mental toll racism has on people of color. See the conversation and find resources for support at Obama.org.

Thank you @MayorBowser for laying out the truth, leading up to St. John’s, the episcopal church defamed by POTUS.

I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. medium.com/@BarackObama/how-…

I received this letter from a farmer in northeast Kansas. His wife is ill and he is aging. He sent me 1 of 5 N95 masks he has from farming to pass on to a doctor or nurse in New York. This is humanity at its best. I share his letter as inspiration.

Imagine how good a Black woman has to be to get the job of asking the president questions. Just think about how much better she has to be than everyone around her. Then imagine having to put up w/ this racist & misogynistic nonsense. @Yamiche is the best & deserves better.

Replying to @maddow
People need to pay attention, don’t be distracted or disheartened. They need to hear that we will not go backwards, no matter who they poison the bench with!
