Latest Talkin' Democracy- a conversation with @jade4va.bsky.social from Rural Ground Game. Jade says she's only cautiously hopeful about democracy, but talking with Jade would give anyone a lot of hope for democracy in these perilous times.

Two people, talking while sitting at a table. Posters of MLK, JFK, and Obama on the wall.

Talkin’ Democracy, the road show! Was in Lexington today for a conversation about democracy with @jade4va.bsky.social from Rural Ground Game. Look for the video soon!

Are things happening here or is it still pretty quiet?

They're actively recruiting sexual harassers and abusers. They view this as a positive.

Not surprising, given Sears' bizarre, unhinged, "tirade of one liners and squeals so loud she nearly caused the speaker system to malfunction" Buena Vista speech back on Labor Day weekend 2024. LOL bluevirginia.us/2024/09/vide... h/t @chaznuttycombe.bsky.social @jade4va.bsky.social

Tweet reading: Have cancer outcomes improved since all this money was allocated to cancer research?

It's absurd how much people take modern medicine for granted

For much of human history, cancer was largely just a death sentence.

By the 1970s, overall, it was about a coinflip, roughly 50/50 chance of surviving it.

Now, about 80% of people who get cancer survive at least 5 years. That's amazing!

Stop being polite to fascists, elected Democrats. Stop. For fuck's sake.

Good morning friends ☀️ It’s announcement time!

I’m running for @VAYD National Committee Representative on a slate with my friend, @JasonMelendezVA!

We’re excited by the opportunity to keep VAYD on the map as we once again enter another critical VA election cycle.

Proud of everyone on Team D who had elections today — with wins in Loudoun and an over performance in SD10, Virginians gave the nation an early preview of what we’re going to do in 2025.

Thank you all for fighting!!!

Ah, but WE live in a shining city upon a hill.

Rest in peace, President Carter.

You leave a powerful legacy of leadership, service, and heartfelt love for your fellow man. May your memory be an example for us all.

Go Jack go!!!

Federal rule banning hidden fees on live events and hotels is officially going into effect in April, the FTC announces.

This new rule ensures that pricing is presented transparently before customers agree to pay.

we've had dozens of frightened thumbsuckers about The Left endorsing violence but bernie sanders didn't take luigi to the army navy game

average republican moment…do nothing and collect a taxpayer funded check

So grateful to NBCSL for recognizing my work on Black maternal health. Over 800 Black state legislators represent more than 70 million Americans. I am humbled to be amongst these titans. People like Representative Laura Hall and others have shown me the way. I vow to honor them with my service.

As usual, @pwcdanica.bsky.social and Del. Thomas are leading where it counts. We should be seeing town halls on data centers in every county in Virginia. We are were are, facing an enormous surge in power needs, because the General Assembly has not acted on this issue.

culture warriors like glenn youngkin and his ilk (ben cline, trump, etc) are obviously full of shit and are unwilling to actually govern or deliver real results for their constituents

unfortunately, they know where to find the hungriest sewers to spew their excrement to the masses (see: elon musk)

Ro Khanna praising DOGE in a tweet

DOGE is a fake government agency designed to provide flimsy "innovative efficiency" cover to corrupt robber barons as they dismantle federal corporate oversight and sell the country for scrap off the back loading dock

any politicians or journalists helping the performance should be laughed at

Alleged harassment causes 11-year-old transgender athlete to drop lawsuit against Hanover School Board The lawsuit filed against the Hanover County School Board on behalf of an 11-year-old transgender girl who wanted to play on her school’s tennis team has been dropped, as the child was pulled…

It's shameful how this student and her family were treated by the Hanover School Board and shameful that members of our community were then emboldened to harass them such that they had to move.

The actions of several Hanover School Board members put this student and other students in danger.

That combined with the fact that they want to push untested tech (small modular reactors) onto ratepayers and there’s a backlog in interconnecting solar projects to the grid that could offset their projections that call for increased use of fossil fuels.

It’s all a huge freaking mess.

it’s extra funny when state wide representatives butcher the names and then double down on their (awful) pronunciation when locals start roasting them 🫢
