Unacceptable doesn’t begin to even describe it. The fact that these students were simply sitting and demonstrating only to be met with chemical agents and riot shields is reprehensible.

Glenn Youngkin and Jason Miyares are turning campuses into war zones and for what? Tents?

Nothing was violent up until this point.

This is not a measured response.

FCDC Denounces the arrest of protesters on Virginia college campuses

Having the backing of young elected officials is incredibly encouraging. Young democrats are the voice of the party and we are happy to see several elected officials extend their solidarity with us!

I thoroughly enjoyed speaking at the Affordable Virginia press conference with my colleague Aaron Rouse and advocates Affordable Virginia & Care In Action on April 25th. To call on Rep. Kiggans to support @potus budget which makes historic investments in child care &..

The heavy handedness against peaceful protestors on campuses around the country right now is not and should not be normal.

Students and faculty should always have space to demonstrate for what they believe in on the campuses in which they have a right to be on.

End of story.

We stand firmly in solidarity with the Mary Washington students who were arrested today for peacefully demonstrating against the murder of thousands of innocent lives in Gaza.

We support all students’ right to peacefully dissent against injustice without the threat of arrest.

Listen, Kristi Noem. Dogs can be a handful sometimes. Sometimes they just don’t do what you want them to.

The Unite the Right Rally was one of the largest displays of racist, anti-semitic, violent white supremacy in recent history and left our community distraught in its wake after 3 people were killed and 35 were injured.
