@KCarpent1 Deflection and whataboutisms. Abraham Lincoln did not violate the 14th amendment - it didn’t exist when he was president. VDH managed to write that bit of obfuscation without even mentioning the constitution and Trump’s incitement of insurrection. It’s an unserious response.

.⁦@RTDMPW⁩ column: “@GovernorVa’s clearly banking on ‘Parents Matter’ sloganeering to make him a national darling of the GOP. But the entire movement is built on a lie.” https://t.co/SpXUjped3R

Important from ⁦@RTDMPW⁩ - and not just because he quotes me🤪 ‘Teachers have always welcomed parents as key in their children’s education…notion that we’re somehow pitting parents against teachers is absolutely antithetical to student success.” https://t.co/E0U0OtgYJ0

“I really have a problem with a mayor and City Council that says for developers to get what they need, they can come to the bargaining table and get millions of our money…but for South Side to get child care they have to go to the blackjack table.” https://t.co/ILwnT03zlm

The newspaper’s 98-year-old owner died under the stress. This is what a police state looks like. This is what an authoritarian state looks like. https://t.co/FJZI82qQSf
