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.

Regarding Ai Weiwei’s sudden pro-Beijing turn - though there were earlier signs - the CCP’s horrific abuses are historical facts that cannot be argued out of existence. A former human rights icon may have fallen, but the struggle for democracy will continue, with or without him.
