Residents of Charlotte are chasing ICE agents through the woods. It’s unclear if ICE ended up walking through the woods bc their vehicle tires were flattened (by the cold air) 😭💀 #Solidarity

One of the most scarring experiences of my professional career was when a male colleague said deeply inappropriate stuff in front of everyone, and then as one of the only exec women I was asked to go explain to everyone why it was wrong. None of the men wanted to voice the harm. Extremely telling.
Anyone of any gender can call this stuff out in the moment. Men are most likely to be in the press pool and in a position to. There’s really no reason to hold women to a special standard here.

404 Media: Judge Rules Flock Surveillance Images Are Public Records That Can Be Requested By Anyone https://www.404media.co/judge-rules-flock-surveillance-images-are-public-records-that-can-be-requested-by-anyone/
![Excerpt: In a ruling last week, Judge Elizabeth Neidzwski ruled that “the Flock images generated by the Flock cameras located in Stanwood and Sedro-Wooley [Washington] are public records under the Washington State Public Records Act,” that they are “not exempt from disclosure,” and that “an agency does not have to possess a record for that record to be subject to the Public Records Act.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5un5uga3jwmnkz4hitfq3ics/bafkreidzuklextz4upyymg7bqcshjpi2gchlb6pk4sf2iuc7tbtyqt2y6u@jpeg)

Exactly. We cant primary @kaine.senate.gov right now but we sure as hell can take the frustration out on @markwarner.bsky.social instead. As far as I’m concerned you are interchangeably complicit. Your voting records show neither of you understand what time it is.
I think the non folders are underestimating how much this will bleed onto them and aren’t fighting hard enough.

My fingers hurt from how angrily I typed this fax. What the fuck was all of this for.
Senator Tim Kaine does not have a voicemail, but you CAN send him a fax. And I just did.
Virginians, make your voices heard tonight!
AND I called Warner back and leave a message begging him to pass on our thoughts to Senator Kaine, since he seems to not wish to hear from the people he represents.

You can even send a free fax to your Senators to tell them to HOLD THE LINE.

Is there a reason Senate Democrats are not filibustering or otherwise withholding any support for Senate business until Adelita Grijalva is seated? Feels like it would constructively bring attention to the fact that House Republicans are simply not here in DC.

Sherill, Spanberger, and 50 all had 64% of the latino vote in exits.
I would not want to be a Texas republican today looking at those numbers and my maps.

Ok I feel crazy. Wasn’t part of one of these designs reversing the traffic direction on E Alexandria Ave? I don’t see anything about that in the remaining designs or in the survey feedback… did I invent it out of nowhere? Help.
DRCA is walking the Braddock bike lane proposal with city staff this Thursday at 10am - shoot me a note if you want to join. I intend to bring my million pound e-bike and make them ride the right angle from the bike lane onto the PY trail around those bollards

This episode quantified increased deer collisions in the evening under permanent standard time, but not increased collisions with kids going to school in the dark under permanent daylight time.
Child pedestrian deaths quadrupled the last time we tried this - a major reason it only lasted one year

🚨New episode alert! The clocks are changing (again), and we’re all over it. Is daylight saving time actually worth it — or is it time to move on? We dig into the science ⏰

Hey Alx Skeets - you might want to call Tim Kaine and tell him your thoughts on whether it’s appropriate to be confirming Trump’s judicial nominees while the government is shut down and our neighbors aren’t getting paid. 202-224-4024
By a vote of 66-32, the #Senate invoked cloture on the nomination of Harold D. Mooty III to be US District Judge for the Northern District of Alabama.

Sat down in Pat Miller Square for a second and a neighbor walked by and said “Pokemon or 311 ticket?” Never felt so seen in my life.

Alexandria folks - we could use a few more volunteers along route 1 for 🚫👑. This event is in the morning so you can do it and go into DC (or market square) later. DM me for details.

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.
