…The mayor's admin filed a lawsuit in late March to block the opening of the #Newark #immigrant #detention facility, arguing its operators failed to obtain the proper permits & violated city code.

It’s exciting that the #virginia #governor #election will feature 2 choices: a black woman republican or a white woman democrat. I expect republican heads to explode. What I’m hoping is that racism will cause the republicans to not even show up, and so we will get our first woman governor and she will be awesome.

@Lyle youngkin is a failed co-CEO. He, like Trump is unfit and unqualified for the job and it has shown over his term so far. Virginia lost its mind electing someone as painfully vile and ridiculous as Youngkin. You would have thought seeing Trump in action would have been warning enough about these kinds of “business” fools. #USPol #Virginia #Governor
