Well, that article is one of the more depressing things I have read in a while.

Is Lamont also asking Trump to apologize for the AI video of him shitting on Americans?

In my car outside the gym, waiting for my kid. An elderly man just opened my passenger door and tried to climb in. Im not sure who was the most frightened: me or the man's son/grandson. I imagine both of us saw a potential tragedy about to occur in that moment of confusion. The door is locked now.

First round of postcards to Virginians. It's not too late to register in Virginia. #spanbergerforgovernor #GOTV #VirginiaIsForVoters #VoteYourValues #VoteYourHopeNotYourFears #BlueVirginia

Photo of my hand with a pile of completed postcards to voters before I drop them in a mailbox.

She. Coyner is a she. And it sure doesn’t make sense that jones did this. I always liked Jones, but this is some inexplicably stupid and sloppy work on his part.

And the family foundation was originally called the Concerned Citizens Council. If that doesn’t conjure up the white citizens councils I don’t know what will…

And not to be persnickety but she didn’t liken Turning Point USA to the KKK. She likened Victoria Cobb of the Family Foundation and the Founding Freedoms Law Center to the KKK.

I will never not enjoy Philip Andrew Hamilton snark. It's almost as enjoyable as Mike Signer snark.

Screenshot from the DTM Facebook. Daily progress headline Albemarle school official under fire for likening Charlie Kirk org to KKK, with photo of Alison Spilman. DTM comment is "does being "under fire" from "social medi users outside the school division and onetime Republican candidate for the House of Delegates Philip Hamilton" really count as being under fire?

Are you an alum outraged by Trump's attacks on universities? Defend your school now by signing this alumni petition in support of these 9 universities as well as campus communities across America. I signed it twice--once for undergrad and once for my masters.

Nothing yet, but the "good liberals" are going to be totally unprepared when the folks who are quietly preparing for things like what happened in Loudoun in 2021 swarm into their school board meetings.

Apropos of the TPUSA at WAHS in central Virginia anti-trans speaker kerfuffle, I dont think the good people of Connecticut are ready for the level of trolling and baiting the far right will be engaged in over the next couple years.

Poor Allison. She’s such a good kind human through and through.

I don’t love our mayor, but he is clearly preferable to the other guy.

Does voting for Elicker on the WFP line send him a message that I want him to be more progressive and focused on the needs of our low income neighbors and less concerned about posturing for the wealthy, educated liberals?

The candidates agreed Yale University must pay the city more, but differed on whether they stomp spotted lanternflies.

Elena's on Orange in New Haven makes non-dairy soft serve (chocolate always on the menu) and the seasonal flavor is sometimes non-dairy. They have wonderful sundaes--I don't know if they can jerry rig an ice cream sandwich or not.

this is the ice cream sandwich.

Thank you. I would still go for him over Dooley due to her history as a principal.

Bekah Saxon @bekahsaxon.bsky.social · Sep 16

I just sent you a link via dm

Bekah Saxon @bekahsaxon.bsky.social · Sep 16

Lisa Torres voted against them. Emily Dooley voted for them. Zyahna Bryant is opposed to them. I don’t know about Dashad Cooper, but I think he indicated opposition to them. If I were still in cville, im pretty sure my votes would go to Torres, Cooper and Bryant.

A clarion call to action.

Well worth the 20 minutes.

I love the work i have the privilege of doing every day, and I love the teachers and children of Bridgeport.
