[THREAD] As always, here's my short analysis of what we can learn from last night's elections. I'm seeing a lot of takes on here and in my inbox that I don't agree with. Let's dig in... I've said this before, but running for office is a tall task; thank you for being willing to serve.

Thank you to all of the staff members and volunteers who work behind the scenes. You all really make this possible and I appreciate you.

[THREAD] so I’ve been inundated with texts and DMs about “morality” today from voters across the Commonwealth.

I’ve never said this publicly, but it’s important to say today. In 2000, I was 12 years old sitting in a Black church. The pastor said, “I’m not telling y’all who to vote for, but let your morals lead you when you’re in that booth.”

The moral issues of 2000 were Clinton’s sex scandals and stem cell research.

[THREAD] Over the past few weeks, I’ve been listening and writing, A LOT. Below, you will find reforms and policies that drastically improves the lives of historically marginalized communities, across the country.

The agenda addresses the following needs: workforce, wealth building, policing & the law, housing, education, health & food.

[THREAD] They say that hindsight vision is 20/20. That's why I'm so troubled by SJ75 in the #valeg.

A history lesson + a call to action...

Ok y'all, I just listened to the informal #RVA Informal Council Meeting from Monday. One exchange stood out to me, about the RPS recruiting teachers of color. This isn't an attack, but an effort to add some context to the conversation. Short [THREAD].

1/N Councilor Gray asked Superintendent Kamras about RPS's efforts to prioritize teachers of color. I'll highlight the importance of teachers of color later in the thread, but it sounded like she was concerned about the legality of the prioritization.
