Jones won the state by more than Obama did in 2008 lol
With Richmond’s update, we have what should be our final totals in VA

Spanberger +15.36%
Hashmi +11.56%
Jones +6.68%

Statewide turnout is 76.2% of 2024

Spanberger finished at nearly 85% of Harris’ vote total, and she also received more votes than Trump 2020 in VA

Make sure to give your reps a call-there will be a hearing on KOSA NOV 18th so get in your opinions as much as you can before that.
So what can you do? 🤔

1. Continue pressuring your lawmakers, let them know how unpopular and dangerous censorship and surveillance bills are.

2. Spread the word! Many people have no idea the internet they know and love is under threat.

And keep in mind that “criminal history” could be a 15-year-old DUI, which is what they used to deport a popular local restaurant owner with two American children in my town during Trump I. He employed 6 people and nothing has opened up in that space since.
DEVELOPING: The DOJs own data, provided as part of an ongoing lawsuit, appeared to show only about 2.5% of 614 people arrested by ICE on immigration violations in the Chicago area before Oct. 7 had criminal histories

I once got a suspension for saying we should (unalive) the filibuster.
Years ago I was suspended on Twitter for inviting Marco Rubio to swallow ten D batteries, which I don’t see how it could be a threat; he and I were not even in the same room and I have at most six D batteries on hand

at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

The @zeteo.com searchable dataset of Epstein documents is the best I've seen— by far. You can filter by date range, person, organization, and location. Amazing public service. Check out @micahflee.com and @premthakker.bsky.social 's article (below) and explore the data via the link in the article

i'd love to read a real evolution of "stay woke" - i saw it evolve as:
1. in black culture, a way of pointing out structural racism
2. on black twitter, same thing but often a joke about something silly
3. white people adopt woke to mean generic antiracism
4. conservatives learn a new n-word
“woke” as i recall originated as a kind of ironic conspiratorial posting thing on black twitter (“stay woke”), and then conservatives decided it was just “political correctness” in the millennial era bsky.app/profile/unst...
I think many of them thought woke is just like clinton-era "political correctness" when the latter was imposed from the top by imbeciles who didn't know anything about anything and woke has always been a genuinely grassroots initiative
