May this day remind us that kindness is stronger than division, compassion builds lasting bridges, and peace begins within each of us. May your home be filled with love. May your heart be filled with hope. May peace continue to guide us all.
Happy Father’s Day to all who nurture, encourage, and inspire. Your influence reaches farther than you may ever know. Missing you Dad, today and everyday. You were a truly loving Dad and a fabulous "Pop" to my son. You would be so proud of him!

#Virginia Early voting for temporary redistricting starts March 6 - final day to VOTE YES is April 21. Defend against Republicans stealing control of the House. Republicans lie: this is not permanent, but a temporary response to Trump's manipulation. Make your voice heard!

This moment will be in our history books. This photo crystallizes the depravity and corruption of the Trump administration — where a woman representing the United States Department of Justice literally turns her back on female victims to protect ultra rich men in powerful places.
