I'm here to learn about Richmond area community events and political/social action(local, statewide, nationwide). And let's face it, I'll also be posting the occasional cute cat photo or dumb joke.

Do you need to sign up and commit to specific Sundays, or just show up when you can?

Survival is resistance.

Taking care of yourself is resistance.

Practicing community care is resistance.

Showing up for others is resistance.

Not all forms of resistance are flashy and obvious, but that doesn’t make them any less meaningful.

My "favorite" was: "At least this is happening while you're young. You're so lucky this is happening when you're young and healthy."

Judge blocks Trump bid to dismantle Department of Education The judge said the administration's planned reductions were clearly aimed at carrying out Trump’s campaign-trail promise to eliminate the department altogether.

The courts just stopped Trump from dismantling the Dept. of Education.

Newsflash: you don’t get to gut public education without Congress.

Thousands of workers? Saved.
Public education? Protected.
Dictatorship? Denied.

@indivisibleva Senator Warner has been pushing for the release for a while. I heard about it from his blue sky before yours. I am a supporter of Indivisible trying to spread word about the rally on Saturday. Can we focus on that? I'm looking for leadership please

It really sucks that somebody who was misinformed chose to deal with whatever personal stresses they have by lashing out at you for no good reason. I appreciate that you are sharing your experience with level 1 autism while also recognizing the needs and rights of people with high needs autism.

We're one week out from the next 50501 rally. Hope to see you all there 🩢 this is a peaceful protest. I went to the last one and was blown away by the strength and kindness of everyone there. The more that people show, the less the will of the people can be ignored

Y'all. Just because he is introducing legislation to help people doesn't mean he isn't also standing up to Trump and the Republicans.

My millennial friends who didn't want to go I think either "aren't fighters" or just don't think anything they do will make a difference anyway

I saw some young people who looked to be Z. Most of the organizers/volunteers working safety/crowd control looked to be millennial and Gen Z. But yeah, I would have expected more students to show up. Not sure if there was outreach on campus or not.

Thank you for your work on this! Keep reintroducing the SOS Campus Act as many times as it takes. We appreciate you!

Keep fighting for us. Remember how much Republican leadership disrupted+ delayed perfectly reasonable legislation + appointments under Obama. We need you + your colleagues to take a page out of their playbook. We need every single one of you to pull a Corey Booker-disrupt, delay, keep speaking truth

I agree with PattyPed that traffic and safety concerns are always valid, but that apartments are not a problem. We need to balance the preferences of homeowners with everyone else's dire need for housing
