Today, the @GovernorVA turned her back on Virginia firefighters and public sector workers across the Commonwealth.

I do not understand the political calculus behind this veto. SEIU and other public sector unions were Spanberger’d biggest supporters even when the AFLCIO did not endorse for Governor.
Vetoing this is a huge slap in the face not only to her base but to thousands of workers.
Labor unions on veto: "Shame. Governor Abigail Spanberger today betrayed half a million of Virginia’s public service workers by going back on her campaign promise to support collective bargaining rights for the people who keep our Commonwealth and communities running every day."
@treeaston@kenyanmcduffie thank you tré - i read a lot of your stuff (resident twitter lurker!!) and was genuinely curious of your two cents.
regardless of whether or not i agree, i appreciate you for responding + sharing your perspective
@jaeporeon they’re union busters spending $1000/hr to avoid negotiating on a contract that includes trans-inclusive gender affirming care. they’re in exactly the scene they wanted to be in and soulless
@aparnafordc is for the people. Aparna is a union member, a tenant organizer, and a renter. She walks the picket line with our members, marched with us to end the federal occupation, and fights with working people for a better DC. 💜🧡🩷🤍
All the talk of building bigger coalitions in the ward 1 race today is missing the truth: @aparnafordc has built a coalition of over 30+ orgs and labor unions. That’s coalition building. It’s why she has over 240 volunteers who’ve already knocked doors for her!
@aparnafordc reminds me what it’s like to be inspired by someone, to know that this is the person who is going to fight for me, my neighbors, & the people that make our city so special. Excited is an understatement; Grateful to support a candidate for the people.

“I’m gonna play Overwatch and I love Overwatch. You know what else I love? I love Juno. I love playing Juno on Overwatch because she’s just that girl. She’s amazing. She’s fabulous.”
We demand an end to federal interference. We will not stop fighting to protect our democracy. And together, we will win statehood for the people of DC.
FREE DC.
