December 19, 2017. I went down to the #nationalmall to see what all the Dreamer action was about. There were much less people than I expected for a movement that was in the national news and had a lot of support all over social media. I also wasn't expecting to meet Senators out there marching with these young people. The #SupremeCourt is slated to make a decision about DACA this summer. It's hard to see this as anything but racist. Whatever you feel about adults entering our country outside of immigration laws, these Dreamers are children who were brought here when they were young enough to have no say in the matter. Allowing them to stay involves very strict regulations on their college education, their work status, and I believe even their criminal status. They pose no threat and drain no resources. They've lived here almost all their lives, some of them not even realizing they weren't citizens. Some have no family in the countries where they were born. Some don't speak the language fluently. It would be cruel and unusual to force them back. But the current racist administration is looking to make an example out of them and show absolutely no hint of being humane. Easy to do if you don't see brown or black people as human. It was so good to meet @elizabethwarren that night. She is exactly what she appears to be. A normal person fighting the corporations and the systems that harm normal people. I was extremely disappointed she didn't/couldn't stay in the race. I was really hoping to vote for her and that she would be the first woman U.S. President. #googlephotosarchive #instagraminthetimeofcorona #dmvnessa #DACA #unitedwedream https://www.instagram.com/p/CAas2HRhC_j/?igshid=4kaln060hpu0

Omagah. Just the simple act of walking around DC. I'm so sad that I'm missing spring and yet even by summer I'll probably be too scared to walk very far near very many other people. #streetphotography #googlephotosarchive #instagraminthetimeofcorona #dmvnessa (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_7h8KJBnk6/?igshid=8ale25zcte7u

June 2016. This is the copy from the Facebook Event page: The nation's corporate and political elite, headquartered here in Washington DC, have stacked the odds against Bernie Sanders with dirty money and a monopoly on the national media narrative. They have long declared Bernie's campaign and the political revolution he represents dead, irrelevant, and down for the count. But we are here and our strength is immeasurable. As Bernie forges ahead to the Democratic National Convention, artists from DC, Maryland, Virginia, and beyond will join forces for a weekend group show supporting his campaign & movement: Bern the System! DC Artists for Bernie Sanders. With 50+ participating street/graffiti/fine artists and a massive mural production on the outside of the gallery, the exhibit will not only celebrate Sanders and his 40 years of bold, consistent, progressive leadership, but also uplift his vision of a political revolution and an end to the reigning corrupt political economic paradigm in America. Starting off with the show opening and following with two days of phonebanking for Bernie, this legion of locally rooted, socially engaged artists in the Nation’s capital, fight back and counter the narrative by injecting their voices into the political landscape. Join them as they take a stand against oligarchy, extreme inequality, unchecked neoliberalism, and neoimperialist foreign policy - and a stand for people power, the local and global working class and disenfranchised, and bold action for social and economic justice. #thefridgedc #dmvnessa #berniesanders #feelthebern #bernthesystem @berniesanders (at The Fridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-eg60Bh1kJ/?igshid=1fjswiwj1xiky

I have only been leaving my apartment to get fresh food on Saturdays and to go to my physical therapy appointments. My mother was in Florida for a month, for reasons that are too long to explain, but she was able to come back to Virginia today. Since I was in the hospital for three weeks due to salmonella complications in 2018, it's safe to assume my immune system is compromised, as it was already weak my whole life. Chicken pox at 5 years old, severe bronchitis, pneumonia, and strep throat at 10 years old (I missed weeks of school), so on and so forth. At the same time, my mother is 70 years old and I didn't want her exposed to a stranger's car, because you never know what has happened inside an Uber before you get it in it. It was bizarre to weigh my well being against hers. We both wore masks and gloves and did not embrace. #coronavirus #socialdistancing #juststayhome #dmvnessa #springflowers #springshowers #ronaldreagan #DCA (at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Kuo9wBD8B/?igshid=1eeole3lmh2ar
