I could not be prouder of my brother Ibrahim Moiz @OnestAbe for his decision to run for School Board in Loudoun County, Virginia. His announcement:
Abe was the first person I met when I moved to the DMV in 2003, a young jobless lawyer. He connected me to Anu Kmt, the first lawyer who took the time to teach me the ropes of practicing law and got me over the fear of hanging out a shingle right out of law school.
Because of that one act, I've been able to help thousands of aspiring Americans on their path to citizenship.

Abe couldn't have known that would happen, but he did it because he knows the value in connecting people and getting things done. That's his MO.
Abe on the School Board can only mean good things for Loudoun County - far into the future.

If you live in Loudoun County, vote for #HonestAbe!

And donate to his campaign!

I've spent 15 years fighting for the rights of aspiring Americans, 12 of those years right here in northern Virginia.

I've been asked, "What's an immigration lawyer doing running for the state house when it's more of a federal issue?"
My response: because much of what my clients have to deal with are state laws. Laws like getting a driver's license. Or send their kids to school. Or not having to constantly look over their shoulder, dodging deportation land mines placed in unavoidable aspects of everyday life.
American children wondering whether their parents will be gone without warning when they get home from school. Sure, immigration laws originate 30 miles away in Washington. But the effect comes through Richmond.

#Christmas is a day of remembrance and strengthening family bonds. The border wall behind me cuts those bonds. It disintegrates families seeking inalienable dignity.

It is a monument to bigotry, a piece of physical xenophobia.
The picture is from my trip to Tijuana in August when I spent a few days advising asylum seekers. I am standing on the Mexican side, but technically inside the US.

Here, hope and despair run feverishly as two turbulent rivers, each vying for victory in these roaring rapids.
Tonight, entire families hunker down in a tent city not a hundred yards from where this picture was taken, their futures deliberately made cruelly uncertain, and still our government throws up more walls of bureaucracy designed to break the spirit under a huge "closed" sign.

I am proud of our Virginia Attorney General @MarkHerringVA for joining in an 18-state effort to safeguard access to healthcare following the deplorable December 14 decision to invalidate the ACA.

ideastations.org/radio/news/her…
The merits of that decision will eventually percolate through the court system, but more troubling is that *no one knows* for sure what effect it has on existing enrollment. And it came out mere hours before the open enrollment period ended.
This is unacceptable. There is a right to be healthy, and government attempts to shirk that obligation are both shameful and misguided. Adding mass confusion to the exercise of people's rights to access that healthcare is even more noxious.

i know you’re all on the edge of your seats - i AM running a few minutes late but i WILL be livetweeting this albemarle county school board meeting for the next few hours.
matt haas is reading a statement about collaboration with the city school board to “be more unified in our efforts” re: diversity. i hope he means it — the city school board does actually appear committed to hearing the concerns of antiracists.
the most recent city school board meeting was encouraging

🎖️Yesterday, the people who ran and/or run our country:

🗣️Former President Barack Obama: So much of our politics our public life—our public discourse—can seem small…and mean… and petty. Trafficking in bombast and insult and phony controversies and manufactured outrage.
🗣️Former President Barack Obama (cont'd): It’s a politics that pretends to be brave and tough, but in fact is borne of fear. John called on us to be bigger than that."

👇Meanwhile, in Loudon County, #Virginia...

1-The evening of the 22nd of June, Miss #SarahSanders (#WH press secretary) went for dinner with her family to this little place called ‘The Red Hen’. It seems that she was unceremoniously kicked out &harassed some more all the way across the street to the next restaurant
2-It seems somehow this incident has created some sort of mob-mentality wanting to harass Miss Sanders that has gotten to a point in which she now needs protection.

3-What kind of person chases somebody down the street based solely on political opinions?
If u ever worked in a restaurant, u learn quickly that u have to deal with a lot of assholes &people you don’t like. You smile, curse them inwardly &hope you’ll never have to see them again

I'm at Water's Edge Brewery in Lake Ridge, Virginia tonight. Six of the seven VA House of Delegates seats here are held by Republicans. Tonight, that may change wildly.
Those seats in Prince William County, Virginia's second most populous, are a test of the anti-Trump grassroots movements spurred on by the Democratic party and progressive groups.
Of 8 groups, like @MoveOn, @BoldProgressive and @TheDLCC, that made endorsements in VA House races, 41% of their endorsements came to six Democrats challenging Republican incumbents in this county.
