GRITTY in Elevating TRUTH & LOVING My Neighbor | People Funded Virginia State Rep | Baba of Three
- I spoke to @guardian about our victory on Tuesday. We won a resounding mandate that proves that we don't have to choose between finding the courage to take a principled stand against the genocide in Gaza, and winning elections in Virginia. 🧵
- I congratulate Delegate @HalaAyala on her victory tonight. It was an honor to run in the most diverse Lt. Governor’s primary in VA history, with a slate of candidates that truly represents all of Virginia, and I will be working hard to help elect Delegate Ayala this November.
- Long line testifying against the expansion of charter schools in Virginia. Fully fund our public schools!

00:00 - A huge collective win! We've always had 3 goals: 1. Stop the pipelines 2. Give them such a hard time, no pipeline ever thinks about coming through VA again. 3. Never again have a Democrat run pro-pipeline. Next Step: Stop the Mountain Valley Pipeline!
- Please don't ever bring up Booker running for President.Cory Booker (D-NJ) voted against Bernie’s resolution to block sales of assault rifles to Israel. This year, Israeli soldiers killed a 14-year-old from New Jersey.
- Thank you. With nearly 80% of Democrats being against the genocide, no Democratic state legislator should engage with this Israeli government.I have cancelled a planned legislative trip to Israel. My hope had been to learn and ask tough questions of the Israeli government actions, particularly related to humanitarian aide in Gaza. I am grateful to the constituents who helped me see the harm of this approach. 1/5
- What if we all thought of teaching as a national public service on the front line of our mental health crisis? I know I do. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of our teachers, counselors, and support teams!
- My name is Sam Rasoul. I’m a Democrat, a progressive in rural Virginia, a 4 term delegate, I reject all Corp & PAC money—and I’m going to be the first American Muslim Lieutenant Governor in American history. Please retweet and follow this account so we can make history together.
- Virginia Tech making a statement. Thank you to the students, staff, and faculty calling for an end to the genocide and the liberation of occupied people.
