Trump says anyone who uses the term “Artificial Intelligence” is “THE ENEMY!” Funny, until you read his list. For starters: the press, the left, Democrats, veterans in Congress, even his own loyalists. When everyone is an enemy, debate dies. History shows what comes next. I’ll keep saying AI.

I keep hearing folks ask if the buzz around Beth Macy is just smoke. Clearly not. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Beth is the fire. You can feel the heat of her passion to fight for the people of VA-06. She’s the real deal: healthcare, affordability, and families over billionaires. Go vote!

We couldn't squeeze in every stop requested while I was in Colorado, so this one's virtual! Thanks to LWV of CO for hosting this storytelling event. A week before the election, let's find a dose of courage together. The event is free and open to the public. 5:30 MT / 7:30 ET

Did I expect to show up on the news in my pajamas while waiting out a missile attack? No. But here we are. Great story on some of the work being done in Ukraine. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

When I saw "any political figure supportive of Ukraine — on both sides of the aisle — was likely on Russia’s radar," I knew I had to pull in my favorite movie.

Will you?

“The most consequential election of my 67 years.” That’s what a voter told me at his door today. He'll be ensuring his entire family gets to the polls. Virginia, vote YES on the constitutional amendments. Wherever you are, vote.

Great to be part of the vote brigade yesterday! Early voting is open in Virginia and even more polling places open this week. Find yours - www.elections.virginia.gov/casting-a-ba...

The United States has surrendered. We are fueling the economy of a tyrant. Ukrainians are dying because Trump thinks his party is on the edge of defeat. You can help do something about it.

Six years ago today, the Space Force proposed. I said yes a thousand times. And my graphic? Before AI slop, there was Bree slop. I thought it would be forever. It ended in annulment: an outside party telling me I was unworthy of the agreement. I'd do it all again. Everyone should have that chance.

The best tee-off vista in disc golf?

Join me Sunday at Revelation Vineyards in Madison, VA for the No Book Left Behind Festival. I'm speaking at 2:30. I'm excited to hear Manil Suri (A Room in Bombay) at 1 and Charles Ford (Queer Virginia) at 4. Come for all three. Free and family-friendly! revalationvineyards.com/event/no-boo...

It's sticker season! Defend your health. Defend your country. Got yours?

See you at the fair? I'll be at the @lgbtvadems.bsky.social booth in the Farm Bureau building tomorrow from 2–6 pm. Let's talk about the candidates on your ballot and the amendments: marriage equality, reproductive freedom, and voting rights. Better yet, let's talk about how to get involved.

The evidence suggests something far more troubling: extrajudicial killings that aren’t stopping the drugs, aren’t building cases, and may be putting American service members in legal jeopardy. Thanks to The Steady State for sharing my latest. steadystate1.substack.com/p/kill-the-c...

Good: Hanging with friends in Front Royal. Better: Seeing more Beth Macy signs than Ben Cline around town. Best: Helping Beth win on November 3rd. Go vote!

I was getting ready to go knock doors this morning and my wife said I looked very energetic. I told her it was 98% mascara. Time to fill up the other 2%.

My handwriting stinks. According to my teacher, so did my substance. What he said next may be why I enjoy writing. This essay shares why I now include paid subscriptions. My articles will still be free, think of it as a tip if you enjoy my writing. breefram.substack.com/p/my-10th-gr...

I wrote some of these jokes at 3:45 in the morning in an air raid shelter in Kyiv as ballistic missiles fell. When I performed them, I was trying hard not to bomb. Unlike Putin.

After Libs of Tiktok, an account PBS describes as sharing "anti-LGBTQ+ conspiracies" pushed for it, Hegseth posted: "Pronouns UPDATED: She/Her/Fired." Standing up when told to keep your head down. Cassandra Marra, a powerful storyteller, does just that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipD4...

A Trump PAC cast me as Cyclops. They got the franchise wrong. So I fixed it. X-Men is about being hated for what you are. Trek is a future that got over it. Geordi inspired me to be an engineer and imagine a future where everyone belongs. Apparently that last part is what makes this an attack ad.

This thread contains voting & election information for all 50 states and D.C. Links lead to the state's main elections web page and where and/or how to vote. Please take time to ensure you are registered to vote and know how and where you can vote.

Fifteen years ago, the person on the left could barely conceive of the person in the middle. Five years ago, the person in the middle could not have imagined the panel on the right. Or that she would be considered a liability to be purged. breefram.substack.com/p/hold-the-d...

Out knocking doors in Herndon today to support my fabulous friends Sabrina, Meron, Josif, and Yasmin. There going to bring a fresh energy to the Herndon Town Council.

No lines. No waiting. Just voting. A beautiful first day. Come on out to early vote!

Every once in a while, the haters have a point. Someone told me I need better heels that don't split. Fair — mine gave out again last night at the Prevent Cancer Foundation gala. I'll handle the shoes. As a survivor, help me handle the cancer research: preventcancer.org/donate

I joined @juliacurlee.bsky.social to talk with UK Channel 4 about Trump pushing qualified people out of government and demonizing trans people. As we wrapped, Mike Johnson sent the House home, stalling a vote to impeach Hegseth. No need to sit back down. We'd already said plenty about his failures.

The district I was running in no longer exists. The people in it still do. Early voting starts Friday! Re-elect Mark Warner. Send Walkinshaw (VA-11) and Subramanyam (VA-10) back to Congress. Elect Beth Macy (VA-06). YES on 3 amendments: ✅ Reproductive freedom ✅ Marriage equality ✅ Voting rights

My visit to Ukraine motivated me to do more. I’ve got more stories to share, but awareness alone doesn’t move the needle. I saw the price they were paying. Ukraine can win this war, but we need to help. Sign up to learn how: forms.gle/hD1KkKpJzCNj... Your help matters. Slava Ukraini!

I'm glad I didn't wear any mascara. Thank you 🇨🇦

If I were a Russian asset, I'd say exactly what Trump just said: stop hitting Russian diesel. Diesel hit a record $6.06. That climb started with his Iran war in February. He's asking the invaded country to stop winning. Slava Ukraini! apnews.com/hub/volodymy...

Our air conditioning stopped working. I called for a repair. She asked how I was today. "Hot." She laughed as though that was new.

Thanks to the Fairfax County Public Safety Department for a moving 9/11 commemoration. A lot of heroes rushed to danger that day. That includes the pilot of the helicopter you can see reflected off the headquarters building, who was among the first to land at the Pentagon to provide support.

Twenty-five years after joining the Air Force following 9/11—and after being purged as a transgender service member— Ret. Colonel @breefram.bsky.social reflects on solidarity, freedom, and an aid convoy to Ukraine. open.substack.com/pub/lincolns...

Twenty-five years ago I watched the towers fall, then told my girlfriend, "I think it's my turn." Today I remember the lives taken, those who ran toward danger, and families who have carried absence ever since. I still believe in the spirit of free people. Keeping that faith asks something of us.

Tomorrow, my reflections on 9/11. Tonight, I'm sharing the thing that brings many of the feelings back. The heroism. The sorrow. The longing. Up the stairs, into the fire. Some of those heroes are still among us. Some aren't. They all have my gratitude. May their love bring us love.
