@georgemasonu.bsky.social Schar School has a podcast "Policy and Governance Perspectives", with the latest episode featuring our own @beyer.house.gov (House Representative for Arlington and beyond) discussing fusion energy, Artificial Intelligence, & how he became a college student in his 70's.

If we give fusion energy and AI tools a chance instead of being anxious about them, the future of society could be equally exciting and promising. Joining David Ramadan to discuss these topics is a mo...

When the smoke clears, there must be no quarter for any member of ICE. Every last one hunted down and brought to justice. Whatever form that may take. At minimum the punishments match the crime. At minimum.

A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

This a thousand times. I will rag on @abigailspanberger.com for her lackluster housing and transit policies, and for aiming to be a "centrist" in a foolish attempt to appease MAGA, but she will be much better than Youngkin on almost every issue.
I can't emphasize enough how great it feels, as a Virginian, to be rid of Youngkin and Miyares.
I am honored to serve as the 75th Governor of Virginia.

It is with a profound sense of duty to all Virginians that I assume the Governorship and pledge myself to work tirelessly on behalf of our Commonwealth — our home.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I am hoping there will be more aggressive housing reforms in her acceptance speech than what's been put out so far by the @abigailspanberger.com team. Virginia is in desperate need of bold action.

If you look at Peel's famous list of nine principles for ethical policing in London, I don't see a single one of them that ICE doesn't thumb its nose at:
