Absolutely. Childcare is infrastructure. Quality childcare is more than daycare, rather preparing our children with the social and emotional skills to build resilience. That's how children can better cope with adverse childhood experiences and trauma. richmond.com/opinion/colu...
Why So Few Politicians Are Speaking Up for Palestine @samrasoul.bsky.social www.qasimrashid.com/p/why-so-few...
I stand w/ @samrasoul.bsky.social! Not only because he has a track record of standing with us, not only because of his willingness to fight powerful moneyed interests, but also because Sam is right to call attention to genocide. The moral bankruptcy of focusing on semantics should be self evident.
Mr. President, I am glad we agree that forced starvation must end in Gaza. Now let's do no weapons to Israel.
Please don't ever bring up Booker running for President.
One day, everyone will have always been against this genocide. After 22 months of the most horrific crimes, there is no doubt that Israel is conducting the most evil cleansing in human history as we fund and watch it play out minute by minute. This must end.
LGBT+ Democrats of Virginia endorse @samrasoul.bsky.social for District 38. Rasoul co-patroned HB1429, prohibiting discrimination in health insurance based on gender identity and sexual orientation. See all of our endorsements at lgbtvadem.org/endorsements.
Young people say NO!
Big Ugly Bill hurts people on MEDICARE as well. For example, Medicaid serves as secondary insurance to Medicare helping with copays/deductibles. They are attacking the poor who are older or disabled as well.
We have socialism in America. But it mainly benefits the wealthy.
Israel just bombed Iran, trying to drag us into another war. Israel is committing genocide and the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Israel took us into the Iraq war where we murdered over 500,000 Iraqis. Israel is a terrorist state.
Elections have consequences.
Some folks had it harder than others, but no one is completely self-made. Thanks to our teachers, our unions, our neighbors, & all those who invested in us along the way That's why we believe in investing in the collective.
Let's go! virginiamercury.com/2025/05/07/d...

Clean Virginia is proud to endorse Delegate Sam Rasoul in HD 38 for his proven commitment to fighting for lower energy costs and a government that works for every Virginian. Please join us in supporting @samrasoul.bsky.social this fall!
I just met with Mohsen Mahdawi where he’s being held in Vermont. He was detained when he showed up for his citizenship interview. He should be released so he can become a citizen.
Nibbles says Happy Easter y'all!
Van Hollan = Goating
World Press Photo of the Year for 2025. The winning photo depicts nine-year-old Mahmoud whose arms were severed in an Israeli attack in Gaza.
“I don’t do politics” alright well baby, politics is gonna do you regardless.
People keep trying to ignore Israel's Genocide, because it makes them feel uncomfortable. There is no escaping it. This Genocide is an experiment in the depths of human depravity.
It's Live everyday. Study it. Ethnic Supremacy. Leads to Apartheid. Then Ethnic Cleansing. Now Genocide. Study it.
These speeches have been a time when we hear ideas from our nation's leader. This is the beginning of a shift. Unlike Trump 1.0 where he simply said whatever, future speeches will be intentional entertainment filled identity politics. A key strategy for modern autocrats.
On the call, we’ll hear from several speakers and experts, including: ⭐ @dovekent.bsky.social, U.S. Senior Director, Diaspora Alliance ⭐ Graie Hagans, Senior Advisor, @bendthearc.bsky.social ⭐ Virginia State Delegate @samrasoul.bsky.social
Many times it takes about a month to work on ourselves, like kick a habit or start a new program. Every year, the month of Ramadan gives an opportunity to start fresh to cleanse our bodies & minds, while drawing closer to family and community. A blessed Ramadan to all 🙏🏽

Solidarity.
I lost TikTok. Gained back my football team 🤷🏽♂️
Complete annihilation of most of Gaza with our tax dollars.
A President for the people. We honor the life and service of this beautiful soul, who lived to better humanity.
The doctor in the last hospital in Northern Gaza. Walking to the Israeli tanks which have bombarded and set ablaze his hospital. He faces this evil with more courage than I will ever know.
Thankful for all the workers who have to grind through the holidays.
With World Champion and our brother Hakeem Olajuwon!
Statement from Delegate Nadarius Clark - Wisconsin school shooting
Joined @samrasoul.bsky.social and Del. Mike Jones for the VA Legislative Black Caucus town hall in Roanoke last night! We discussed affordable housing, healthcare, education, and foster care!
Some privileged people feel uncomfortable when we talk about this. The problem is that if we stay quite during a genocide, that we are personally facilitating and funding, then we have told the world that no one will ever be safe, anywhere. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...
I am deeply honored to have Sam's support and have always been inspired by his love and grit for progressive values. Thank you @samrasoul.bsky.social. #55in25
Apparently Joe Biden decided to start the Trump administration 61 days early, saying that Senators who oppose more weapons for Israel to continue genocide are siding with terrorists. Presumably he means moderates like @timkaine.bsky.social?! www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-...
We make it too difficult. Voters want to know two main things: 1. Are we working hard for them? 2. Are we being honest with them?
