Virginia, don’t forget to vote YES tomorrow(4/21)!

Keep pushing Republicans?!? What are you talking about? You and 7 other weak-willed capitulators gave the Republicans everything they wanted in return for nothing but lies. We cannot count on you to fight for any of us. Don't tell us anymore. Show us!

My normal mantra is to tell people to do whatever @sphericalcowconsulting.com tells them to do, but in this case, I will emphatically add my own admonition to read her thread and join the Identity Salon and get ahead of the crowd #identity #IAM

Tim Kaine is the Merrick Garland of Neville Chamberlains

Some scenes from the awesome #NoKings protest today in #Richmond #Virginia. #RVA has been fighting tyrants since 1775!

He’s going to blow up the entire country to prevent the release of the Epstein files, isn’t he

This July 4th, as Democracy Defenders Action takes a short break, we leave you with these powerful words from the Declaration of Independence. In 1776, Americans rejected the rule of a king. Today, as authoritarian threats rise again, it’s worth remembering why our founders said: #NoKings.

If I were a senator, @democrats.senate.gov I would be ON A PLANE to either Bluebonnet in Abilene or Harlingen NOW where Trump is about to send more people to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act with no meaningful due process.

Hey @columbiauniversity.bsky.social, maybe if you can't find the balls to stand up for your students, your faculty, your independence, and our freedoms, you could borrow some of from @harvard.edu. Stay strong Crimson! So much respect for you guys. www.jefftiedrich.com/p/harvard-to...

So ... @algreen.house.gov understands the assignment. Just so you know @mcclellan.house.gov, your constituents here in VA-04 are totally okay with you shouting truth to power and getting yourself kicked out. Resist!!! #SOTU

Oh, now we're dragging people out of the SOTU. Democrats, your job is not to be quieter because Al Green got dragged out. It's your job to get LOUDER.

IIn 2024, we could have been finishing up a @sanders.senate.gov 2nd term instead of installing a fascist. All because 'moderate' #Democrats, along with all #Republicans, have a guiding principle of "I'm got mine. You go get your own!" Now we know why they're telling us we should "wait and see"

Hey #Virginia, tonight, all five Virginia House #Republican: Rob Wittman (VA-01), Jen Kiggans (VA-02), John McGuire (VA-05), Ben Cline (VA-06), and Morgan Griffith (VA-09) all voted to support huge tax cuts for billionaires paid for by cutting Medicaid for the poor and middle class. All cowards!

One can only hope that our senators @kaine.senate.gov & @markwarner.bsky.social have called all of the #Virginia Republican representatives to let them know that they will mobilize all the power at their disposal to make their political lives miserable if they vote to cut #Medicaid

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Oh man ... please someone do this.

I really do feel like I’m losing my mind.

Almost time!

woo hoo! Looking forward to seeing @petersagal.bsky.social in person tonight in #RVA for another live edition of the @npr.org show "Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!" So excited!!! #WWDTM

Why does it seem like the only thing Democrats like my own state's @markwarner.bsky.social & @kaine.senate.gov know how to do is talk about what we already know is going on ... and to fund-raise off of it. You guys made sure we have almost no power for change except through you. We need you to lead

I have family who are leaving #Virginia because they are non-binary and no longer feel safe with our state's leadership. Gov. #Youngkin is just a terrible human being wrapped in a sweater vest who only cares about his fascism party bona fides rather than the well-being of his own citizens

I love rocket science. & I loved #SpaceX. I mean really, really loved it. I have watched every Starship launch, at least 50 of the Falcon 9 launches, & Starbase updates. I can't separate it from Elon anymore so I have set that love aside. Retiring my much-loved long-sleeve Occupy Mars t-shirt. Sad

Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?

If you don't think America is corrupt, Pam Bondi, the Florida Attorney General who took a bribe, was sworn in as the US Attorney General by Clarence Thomas, a SCOTUS Justice who routinely takes bribes.

Really? Because I don't see you doing anything except confirming Rubio as SecState who then took over USAID & delegated authority to Peter Marocco who immediately placed more than 50 senior officials on leave. Come on @kaine.senate.gov!!! Fight for us like you did years ago on RVA city council

(me watching burglars break all the windows and climb into my house) “Just give it time. They might cut their hand on the glass.”

Then what the hell are doing to stop this?!? You literally voted for the guy who is now at Treasury letting Elon Musk's interns from a not-actually-a-governmental-agency grab confidential and restricted information with no governmental oversight. Don't tell me ... show me!!!

Finally someone doing something, anything, to stem the bleeding.

Do you love privacy? Do digital identity conversations make you swoon? Are you a fan of reading important and award-winning papers? Then you should be following Heather and all of her awesome and thought-provoking posts! #idpro #digitalidentity #identity #privacy

Good to know that when faced with fascism, Google will stand against it for ... <checks watch> ... exactly zero seconds www.reuters.com/world/us/goo...

So ... this is Bluesky.
