#SonyaMassey autopsy findings: The 36-yo was shot in the face beneath her left eye. The bullet then traveled out of the back of her neck, confirming that the now-fired deputy shot in a downward trajectory, & as a result Sonya died from a gunshot wound to the head. #Justice4Sonya

Halloween at the height of COVID. I was a cow. And even then, Dick Sears talked to me and offered to meet with me to discuss social issues. Thank you, Senator Sears. Rest in peace. #vtpoli
Thank you @zuckermanforvt for leading the banned book reading in Benn, along with Mia Schultz, Emily Maikoo, and Susan Prue. It was a robust discussion along the political spectrum; we need ALL of us to be part of this discussion to make change. #vtpoli

The #vtpoli youth movement in Bennington is robust + oncoming and it great to see #BennVt's august leaders in Montpelier offer so much love and support. Here is Rep. Morrissey with @Addie06174 after @vsarn802 gave strong H.682 testimony to Education. (1/4)
Over 60% of VT youth hear racial slurs in schools - REGULARLY. This must change.
Thank you #vtpoli for welcoming @vsarn802 into the Statehouse yesterday to advocate for #H682, the equity team pilot project. We need to support our students, and we need YOU (#vtpoli) to help us.
It's homelessness awareness day. #vtpoli is working hard to keep people safely housed but there's more to be done to keep people like Thierry safe. Join me at the Bennington Theater on Sun. @ 2pm for a play & discussion on this topic.
In America, access to inclusive media is a debated issue. Come join @vsarn802 and @zuckermanforvt to discuss this topic and read from banned books at Fiddlehead at Four Corners Art Gallery. @TheAmandaGorman@angiecthomas hope to see you there! #vtpoli
