Looking at what
@GovernorVA
deems appropriate in response to the CRT Craze:
- Removing MLK from the elementary curriculum
- Removing reference to Doug Wilder the first Black Governor, WHO IS STILL ALIVE
- Removing reference to John Mercer Langston, first Black VA Congressman 🧵

The line at the polling place just off William & Mary’s campus is out the door and only growing.
Most important thing about the line: it’s all young people who are registering to vote today — this doesn’t even include the line of students who were pre-registered!

Politics like this should be called out.
When candidates run as one party because they know that party is more popular in their area and then switch their affiliation, it is openly deceiving to the voters and does them a disservice.
This is gross.
Breaking: NC Democratic lawmaker Rep. Tricia Cotham is expected to switch her party affiliation to Republican, handing NC Republicans a legislative supermajority and the votes to override D Gov. Roy Cooper mid-legislative session.
