Cville local. Overeducated carpenter. Fascists eat shit, liberation for the rest. The future's looking rough, but hope is our duty.

In Charlottesville, I see a growing rejection of that feeling of hopelessness in one's inability to influence national issues. It's being replaced by active learning and participation in local issues that a community can actually impact. I'm seeing more community spaces opening and thriving. I'm seeing more networks and alliances forming and a change in mindset from, "Somebody should do something about this," to, "We should do something about this."

now look I’m just some big dumb carpenter but I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to do this
WUVA, the sole student broadcast news and culture outlet at the university (and, full disclosure, where this reporter began her career, overlapping with some players in this article), published an exclusive interview with interim President Paul Mahoney on October 12. Fourth-year Sophia Bangura, one of the student journalists who worked on the project, was terminated from the organization three days later for "insubordination" for asking followup questions during the interview and declining to apologize to the interim president's office.

In a written statement Saturday, DHS officials said Border Patrol officers were fired on by an unknown man in a Black Jeep, who fled the scene. No one was reported injured and few details were offered. The statement also stated that "agitators threw a paint can and bricks at Border Patrol's vehicles," adding that Chicago police helped clear the scene. In its own statement, the Chicago Police Department said officers responded to calls of shots fired at federal agents, but found no signs of anyone struck by gunfire and secured the area where the alleged shooting took place. Police reported one officer was in good condition after being struck by a vehicle during the chaos, and the driver was cited.

Philip Andrew Hamilton • • • 11m • Winsome Earle-Sears was supposed to be at the First Free Coffee Bar in Charlottesville this afternoon to campaign in front of voters. However, our Lieutenant Governor has been pulled from the campaign trail and is presiding over a special session of the Virginia General Assembly where democrats are attempting to overthrow a constitutional amendment that was passed in 2020. This is clearly election interference and I'm glad to

the pants wetting has begun in earnest
The Jefferson Council • @TheJeffer...•3h BREAKING. HJ6066 is the Joint Resolution filed for the Special Session. Pay attention to "(v) appointment subject to the confirmation of the General Assembly." Does the GA intent to change the process by which appointments are confirmed -- including BOV appointments? There is a case in the Virginia Supreme Court now regarding that very question. See below for link to HJ6006.
