The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.

This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

We see what happened when Trump was not held accountable for his crimes: He committed far, far more. Same will be true for ICE. Unless they are prosecuted now for their crimes, they will commit far more horrific crimes going forward. #ProsecuteICE

Somehow I doubt that. He's been too vocal against tRump.
@midastouchmedia.bsky.social
But I will say I have no use for anyone who's bent the knee to tRump. Especially someone who works with legit left wing groups.

It kind of makes them way less legitimate.
