This should be one of the biggest stories in the country right now.

We finally got a Virginia Supreme Court ruling!

Confirmation redistricting referendum is happening

Early voting starts this Friday

Essentially a shadow docket ruling and not on final merits

But highest court in Virginia will let voters go to the polls

this exchange becomes really crazy when you remember Howard Lutnick is currently Trump's Secretary of Commerce, and a Republican Member of Congress is trying to jam up Hillary Clinton for knowing him.

Really is mindblowing that anyone would pretend January 6th was anything other than a violent mob trying to overthrow an election. Just truly shameful.

Also I will simply refer to them as the regime (not Iran)

Most Iranians want peace and do not want to be at war with their neighbors

Unfortunately the regime only cares about its own survival

Sad to see what the regime is doing even understanding their personal incentives

An insurrectionist just started a war with virtually no input from the public or congress. We are all in the dark. All the while, he’s trying to rig the midterms. Just wild. Vote yes to Virginia redistricting.

BTW, multiple sources are saying that former VA First Lady Dorothy McAuliffe is considering a run for the new VA07 (assuming the redistricting amendment passes, of course)... bluevirginia.us/2026/02/audi...

A voter’s guide to Virginia’s 2026 redistricting push β€’ Virginia Mercury The "why" and "how" of the current redistricting proposal that's designed to give legislators temporary power to reshape the state's 11 congressional districts.

If you want to learn more about Virginia redistricting, this is a good article that lays it out from a more wonky standpoint. Read, learn, and vote...

GOP picks their nominee in Virginia’s HD-98

Andrew Rice will face off with Dem nominee Cheryl Smith on March 17

We’ll see if Dems make a serious effort in Trump +14% seat in Virginia Beach

Former Delegate Tim Anderson comes up short in comeback bid

Is it too early to say that Trump adopted a new tone in his State of the Union address?

Twitter is owned by a fascist who deliberately manipulates the algorithms to promote far right messages. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

I don't disagree at all. Just also pointing out that having a criminal in the WH is a bit of a game changer.

Look I’m not gonna pretend that our two party system was perfect, or even great. And for a lot, it’s been a downright failure. But when dudes like yang pretend this current crisis is about party, give me a break. We have an insurrectionist in the WH. And he’s doing what insurrectionists do.
