Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Join 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... 011
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It's sticker season! Defend your health. Defend your country. Got yours? 092
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 26/09/2026See 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. 013
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Good: 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! 052
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I 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%. 080
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I 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. 053
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 21/09/2026A 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. 0111
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Out 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. 053
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 18/09/2026No lines. No waiting. Just voting. A beautiful first day. Come on out to early vote! 0173
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Hegseth says women weaken the lethality of the military. Channel 4 asked what I thought. Proud to be bleeped. 187
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Every 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 172
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I 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. 0123
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 15/09/2026The 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 0126
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 14/09/2026My 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! 043
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Thanks 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. 033
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Tomorrow, 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. 0112
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Happy 60th Star Trek! Trek isn’t about a utopia immune to struggle, it’s about striving to be better, together. Even in the darkest time, empathy, cooperation, and relentless hope can see us through. If we want a 24th century worth living in, we need to remind ourselves of that. 0163
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 08/09/2026A few days after arriving in Kyiv, I caught myself thinking: it's just Shaheds. Just. That’s how quickly the abnormality of war can start becoming routine. My first story from Ukraine: Mostly Sunny, With Scattered Drones. breefram.substack.com/p/mostly-sun... 032
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Wishing a lifetime of happiness to John and Bruno. It was an honor to be part of their saber arch detail. It was also wonderful to see so many friends. Though not being able to wear my uniform stung. Apparently, so did facing movements on stone in heels. RIP, one of my favorite shoes. 2122
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 05/09/2026The looks you get on the metro when your vibe is somewhere between garden party and cavalry charge. 0163
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 03/09/2026This was my first night in Ukraine. I had no idea the next week would bring drones, nights in shelters, laughter, tears, and extraordinary people. Now I’m headed home with a thousand photos, a full notebook, and two things clear: I want to do more to help Ukraine. And I want to come back. 0133
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Last night, I left Ukraine. There will be many stories. 092
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I'm incredibly proud of @juliacurlee.bsky.social Not just for the powerful week of storytelling she just did to show there is no such thing as the wrong kind of American, but also for a lifetime of service to the ideals we believe in. Glad I saw her last night at her (forced) retirement party. 2376
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Reconnected with some of the badass ladies of my Emerge cohort at the @networknova.bsky.social Women's Summit last night. Best speeches: @bethmacy.bsky.social (VA-6) and Joy Powers (VA-9). They showed us their character, more than a campaign slogan. And @pwcdanica.bsky.social brought the house down. 1112
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 20/08/2026If you're old enough to remember when Republicans attacked Democrats for being unserious about national security, it's time to schedule your mammogram or colonoscopy. Just kidding. They never stopped. Here’s Trump’s pick for the Senate, asked about Taiwan. Every accusation, a confession. 0127
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Great day knocking doors for @bethmacy.bsky.social for Congress in Front Royal. Let's do everything possible to flip VA-6! 0143
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 14/08/2026"Significant challenges exist" is Pentagon-speak for "it's all f***ed up." That's what General Atomics told Trump when he ordered the Navy to redesign a half-built carrier. Someone at GA must have a copy of the language guide. Unlike the taxpayers, they're going to get paid to deal with the mess. 051
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Golden Dome might work. That’s not the same as it being worth it. Silicon Valley raised $120 million for Juicero, a beautifully engineered machine that did what hands could do faster and cheaper. They asked, “Can we?” not “Should we?” 60 seconds on why “can we afford it?” is the wrong question. 0133
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 10/08/2026"High-T does not substitute for low strategy." I sat down with @thebulwark.com on Iran, the purge of trans troops, and what Hegseth is doing to readiness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILBD... 074
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 09/08/2026For the first time in my life, I want to collect a stamp. I'm drafting my remarks about courage for Network NOVA's Women's Summit - trying to tie all this together. Friday, August 21 • Hilton McLean Tysons Corner. networknova.org/ws2026/ 040
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Secretary Hegseth revoking Frank Kendall’s clearance goes well beyond the hypocrisy of “rules for thee, not for me.” Government power, paid for by all of us, should serve the American people. It should not be used to punish critics. 076
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 08/08/2026"What. Are. Those." My daughter's mockery only emboldens me. 270
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 03/08/2026At the same time, the Pentagon is moving with extraordinary urgency to expel highly qualified transgender service members—including pilots. 053
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Come say hello at the Lake Anne Farmer's Market! I'm addition to the great food, you can support wonderful candidates, learn about our constitutional amendments, and register to vote. 074
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I'm really excited to endorse Beth Macy for Congress! The amazing folks in Virginia's 6th have an awesome opportunity to elect someone who will represent all of their interests. 052
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 22/07/2026In the 1960s the military built its cockpits around one body type. Result: 44% of women, and 74% of Black women, were engineered out of the pilot's seat before they ever applied. My first episode as co-host of @thesteadystate.org Sentinel Podcast is about the woman who helped changed that. 🧵 162
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 21/07/2026John Lewis showed up for people who didn't expect him — including queer folks he stood beside when it carried real risk. He was intersectional before we had the word for it. He knew we all do better when we all do better. That's the example I try to live up to. 010
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Spoke at @hrindivisible.bsky.social Voting Rights Town Hall this #GoodTroubleLivesOn weekend. John Lewis lived intersectionality before we had the word — and his legacy is on Virginia's Nov ballot: marriage equality, voting rights restoration, reproductive freedom. Carry on the good trouble. 011
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I was asked why I stay public when trans people are being treated as public enemy number one. 053
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 17/07/2026In this economy? With gas prices like these? Finally, a morale program measured in cost per flying hour. 130
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 15/07/2026The military separated people like me for taking hormones to be our best selves. Today, the Secretary of Defense announced a program encouraging hormone therapy so troops can be their best selves. 66316
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 14/07/2026This weekend is Good Trouble Lives On, honoring John Lewis's legacy of courage and the ongoing fight for voting rights. I'm speaking at the Voting Rights Town Hall Friday (5–7, United Christian Parish, Reston) and joining the Voting Rights Visibility Event Saturday, 11-12, Rt7 & Gosnell Road, Tysons 121
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 13/07/2026A military that charges for protection has a name: mercenaries. The Hessians, hired soldiers, were the monsters in America's founding ghost stories. The Headless Horseman was a Hessian. That's how deep the fear ran. So now our Navy takes 20% off the top? 073
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Graham Platner just ended his campaign. It's going to be a scramble to replace him. I won a fight with an ornery seagull a few years ago for possession of a picnic table in Maine, does that qualify me? It's more than I can say here in VA, where I lose fights for a chair to an ornery cat. 060
Bree Fram @breefram.bsky.social · 01/07/2026The Pride flags came down. Today, the American and Virginia flags went up. I've never believed they compete. They fly for the same promise: a work in progress, still unfulfilled, asking each generation to realize it. Here's to the next 250 years of doing the work. 0306
