@SenatorLocke Your name is Mamie. That's some old school southern name. I had a Mamie too. It was a phrase that is used. You have probably used the term "red handed" haven't you.
All this talk about #VALeg constitution amending and the process by which they created Massive Resistance -closing most schools in the state to stop integration- was approved with only this question asked:
From Alice Walker’s poem “Once”: “Dick Gregory said that if the South muses again there is a secret plan..But I say if the South rises again, it will not do so in my presence “(1968). Written in same period of Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, same volatile climate as Nixon preparing his Southern strategy. Backlash and Project 2025. Not in my presence
@SenatorLocke There is no reason a member of congress from NY who’s is as racist and divisive as Jeffries is has any business trying to buy an election and an unconstitutional power grab.I support @JenKiggans.
Those who are gloating now should not get comfortable with the Supreme Court undermining the will of Virginia voters. Virginia voters will once again prevail in November. One battle lost, more to be won!
While we await the full facts of the investigation, it must be acknowledged that this FBI raid occurs in the broader context of President Trump’s repeated abuse of the Department of Justice to target his perceived political opponents.
It should be noted that this is occurring just two weeks after Senator Lucas helped lead the successful effort by Virginia voters to reject President Trump’s attempt to rig the midterm elections. This raid on Senator Lucas’ office and businesses also comes as President Trump has pressured the Department of Justice to pursue investigations and prosecutions against New York Attorney General Letitia James, former FBI Director James Comey, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and multiple Democratic Members of Congress.
Like all Americans, Senator Lucas has a right to due process and a presumption of innocence.
Not our first rodeo with a Supreme Court determined to strip away the rights of black people: Dred Scott v Sanford, Plessy v Ferguson, Louisiana v Callais. This, too, shall pass.
The Supreme Court just finalized eradication of voting rights protections by decimating the Voting Rights Act. In this second post Reconstruction era of backlash against civil and human rights, voter suppression is only the beginning. But hear this all who believe we live in a post racial world, this decision, the SAVE Act, Project 2025, and the debacle and sham being played out on the national stage clearly show that we do not. The fear of equality, justice and inclusion is real. I not only dissent, I will not accept these attacks on democracy without a fight.
Extending heartfelt condolences to Senator Mark Warner and Lisa Collis in the loss of their daughter Madison. May God comfort your grieving heart and strengthen you with His presence and peace 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I am truly heartbroken and sad about the news regarding Justin and Cerina Fairfax. Two young people have lost their parents in the most horrific manner imaginable. What they do not need is a social media frenzy rehashing old stories, rumors and innuendo about their parents’ personal lives, etc. I know that haters are going to hate, but then you’re not godly people anyway. The family needs compassion and love. What would Jesus do?
Matthew 7:1 says: “judge not, lest ye be judged.” Interpretation: warns against hypocrisy, harsh and condemning judgement against others. Check the person in the mirror before applying judgement to anyone else, especially if you are calling yourself a Christian.
We are coming back for a special session later this month and I am still standing like a brick wall on the data center tax credit issue. Shifting electric costs on working Virginians back to data centers is the ultimate affordability issue and must be addressed.
Question for the Republican leadership: who started the undeclared war in Iran that has led to the escalating gas prices? So who really has created the lack of affordability here in Virginia?
@SenatorLocke Two things could be happening with this post.
1) social media intern gaslighting
Or
2) social media intern having an epiphany and finally realizing he/she is on the wrong side of history
In no way, shape, or form does Mamie axe this question that she already knew the answer to.
