Today, we honor the more than 1,200 innocent lives lost, including 46 Americans, in Hamas’ horrific terrorist attack two years ago. We must demand the release of all hostages and remain steadfast in our pursuit of lasting peace and resolution for both Israelis and Palestinians.

My 7th grader just said Donald Trump was an illiterate fascist and I’ve never been so proud.

Here is Hegseth’s new letter, which references a new Section 12406 determination by Trump from Saturday.

12406 is the law calling up the National Guard that Immergut found had not been properly invoked as to Portland in terms of the September deployment decision. www.lawdork.com/p/judge-bloc...

It feels like a blitz attack on the courts, in the middle of the night, while moving the dudes with 🔫 around like pieces on a chess board. He’s doing right now in TX what the court is being asked to consider—can he just move them anywhere now that they’ve been deployed to one place? I hate it here.

Just sitting up watching the courts try to save the structure of American Federalism. Follow @lawdorknews.bsky.social and @chrisgeidner.bsky.social to understand what’s going on.

Do not lecture me about Jay Jones' text messages when you know damn well Jason Miyares would welcome this to Richmond.

Thoughts on Taylor Swift’s new album:
Skip the first 3 songs and it’s good!

Everyone should be alarmed at what’s happening to @richmond.com and their staff. First, their offices were moved *out* of the city. Now, they have no opinion editor and have lost many other outstanding journalists over the last 5 years. Without local journalism, corruption thrives. 🚨

They zip tied children.

More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

Three women pose for a picture in front of a table with a skirt on a stage. Behind them a sign reads “northern Virginia community college.” The woman in the middle has bright pink lipstick that match bright pink shoes.

@vadogwoodnews.bsky.social had a great first event this evening! Any excuse to talk about abortion rights and match my shoes to my lipstick is a win for me!

Watching MAGA crash out with racist hot takes on Benito at the Super Bowl. 😍😍😍 stay mad!!! Y tu mamá también, hijo de putas 🙃🙃🙃

I have been with my partner for 17 years. He bought his first political t shirt ever.

“I see protest as a genuine means of encouraging someone to feel the inconsistencies, the horror, of the lives we are living. Social protest is to say that we do not have to live this way." — Audre Lorde

It was pretty good.

Dissociating Sunday includes Uncrustables and watching the Lilith fair documentary in bed. 10/10.

Where were you when Bad Bunny and Marc Anthony sang Preciosa together?

Today is the day where I just can’t. This (waves arms wildly) is fucking exhausting.

Take that Paramount! Stephen Colbert wins best variety talk series at #Emmys weeks after CBS canceled show. "Sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it...my friends, I have never loved my country more desperately."

Oh, you can do that?!
