Trump and Jackson: Two Power Grabbers, but with a Difference
Trump is self-serving, while Jackson used his power to advance democracy.

Observing the budget debates in Richmond, it’s clear that education often comes last despite being the foundation of everything else. A strong Virginia and United States demands strong schools first, rhetoric second. Good night everyone.

Funding formulas always sound boring until you realize they decide which schools survive and which don’t. Rural schools can’t keep up, urban schools are stretched to the breaking point, and students pay the price.

The fight over school funding formulas feels endless, but it really comes down to this: rural and urban districts aren’t broken — they’re starved. If we want a competitive workforce, maybe we should start by paying the folks who teach it.

Kudos to VA lawmakers for passing bipartisan probation reform — reducing probation for people who hit milestones like steady work or housing stability builds stronger, safer communities. But Youngkin still pushes hard. #CriminalJusticeReform #Reentry #VAProgressive

Odd X is so stringent and about sign-in from alternate devices, then this serial bot farm is unearthed.
X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Just saw the NAACP sue VA election officials for rejecting student registration forms missing dorm info — that’s a blatant barrier to student votes, especially at HBCUs. Democracy can’t be gated by paperwork. #VotingRights #VirginiaProgressive #StudentPower

Romania joined the EU in 2007 with a mission to fix child trafficking. Eighteen years later, the laws look world-class but the reality hasn’t changed. Trafficking didn’t collapse — it professionalised.

I am always fascinated by secrecy. Many times secret societies are founded with good intent--anonymous acts of charity. Others are formed with less honorable goals. I am attaching the full article if anyone is interested in such groups at the University of Virginia.

This is a plague on the entire world. From every dark corner Earth. Actually, not just dark corners--everywhere. In broad daylight. They brazenly delay and deflect on Epstein.

Twitter is nearly impossible to use. Dominated by a few entities/people who manipulate the platform for visibility. People who open new accounts might as well be screeching into gale force winds.
If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Through this lens, much of Trump's seemingly chaotic foreign policy reveals itself to be tactical and self-serving.
Raises questions on #Ukraine. Might Trump stance on Ukraine be motivated by other factors--I see a clear pattern.
