every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation

So traffic infractions & misdemeanors are recorded by general district courts. They share their files with DMV, who then imposes additional fines/revocations etc.

if you don’t have a license, you’re not impacted by DMV’s additional penalties, but you still have an infraction on file with the GDC.

Good morning Virginia! Good morning 5th district folks! Polls are open. You know what to do. It’s a great day to vote!

Hey 👋🏽 Cville peeps! If you haven't voted yet, be sure to get out on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4 to vote. Voting is, admittedly, a rather limited way to build political power, but it's still a really important one.

Here's the sample ballot for Cville. Next up, I'll share who I'm voting for, and why

Oh interesting — adding Children of Men to my rewatch list.

Two tons of bronze ingots, from melting down Charlottesville’s statue of Robert E. Lee, are now on display in the LA Museum of Modern Art “Monuments” exhibit. The @jsaahccville.bsky.social Swords Into Plowshares project will select an artist to use the bronze to create public art for Charlottesville

Policy Briefing Summary City Council Regarding: Resolution Authorizing Agreement to Settle White v. Charlottesville City Council Staff Contact(s): John Maddux, City Attorney Presenter: John Maddux, City Attorney Date of Proposed Action: October 20, 2025 Issue Whether to authorize an agreement to settle White v. Charlottesville City Council, a lawsuit challenging the legality of the zoning ordinance adopted by the City Council in December of 2023. Background / Rule In January 2024, several community members filed a lawsuit challenging the new zoning ordinance adopted by City Council in December 2023. Over time, the case narrowed to two main questions: whether the City was required to send certain traffic information to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), and whether the City gave reasonable consideration to factors required by state law when adopting the ordinance. Although a trial was scheduled for September 2026, the City and the plaintiffs have reached an agreement to resolve the case. Under the agreement, the City will provide the requested traffic information to VDOT, and the plaintiffs will withdraw their lawsuit. As long as the City meets its obligations, this agreement will bring the litigation to an end. Analysis The City remains confident that it would ultimately prevail in this matter. However, the cost of discovery, trial, and potential appeals would be substantial for all parties, and any litigation carries inherent risks. This proposal, where the City will provide certain traffic information in exchange for dismissal of the case offers a practical and cost-effective path forward. Accepting this resolution will avoid further litigation expenses and provide clarity and stability for the City’s zoning ordinance. Financial Impact Funds will be required to complete the necessary traffic studies for submission to VDOT, and these costs are expected to be meaningful. However, they are anticipated to be substantially lower than the costs the City w…

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is made effective as of the date of the last signature hereto (the “Effective Date”), by and between G. EDWARD WHITE, SUSAN D. WHITE, ROY VAN DOORN, KRISTI VAN DOORN, THOMAS J. HILL, Trustee of the Thomas J. Hill Trust, u/a June 1, 2005, as amended, KEMP P. HILL, Trustee, of the Kemp P. Hill Trust, u/a June 1, 2005, as amended, JENNY CLAY, MICHAEL BEVIER and LILLIAN BEVIER (collectively, the “Claimants”) and the CHARLOTTESVILE CITY COUNCIL (the “City”), each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties.” REASONS FOR AGREEMENT Claimants have asserted various claims against the City in that action filed in the Circuit Court for the City of Charlottesville styled G. Edward White, et al., v. Charlottesville City Council, Case No. CL24-25 (the “Lawsuit”). In the Lawsuit, Claimants’ operative pleading is now the Amended Complaint, filed on or about December 30, 2024. The Amended Complaint contains two Counts, and alleges that the new zoning ordinance adopted by the City on December 18, 2023 (the “NZO”) was void ab initio for, among other reasons, the failure to submit the NZO to the Virginia Department of Transportation (“VDOT”) pursuant to Virginia Code § 15.2-2222.1(B) and the associated Traffic Impact Analysis Regulations set forth in 24VAC30-155-10, et seq. The Parties enter into this Agreement for the purpose of resolving the Lawsuit. TERMS For and in consideration of the mutual promises and commitments specified herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by each Party, the Parties agree as follows: 1.

Wow. The agenda is up for the 10/20 Council meeting... and it includes a settlement agreement in the White v. Charlottesville case.

The city will prepare a Traffic Impact Statement by the process in 24VAC30-155. In exchange, the plaintiffs will drop the case against the new zoning ordinance.

To live my life the way that I want to say and do whatever I please. RIP Diane.

Sounds right.

The irony of them having more interest in harmless chalk every year versus the actual violence of A11 is never not fucked.

The after hours RMC/UVa ambassadors are always nutjobs. They’ve called the cops on me a bunch over the years but nothing has ever come of it.

Super lame they took the chalk.

Current board member of the Piedmont Community Land Trust asked a Charlottesville School Board member if the former principal was hired because of his race — “based on his experience of hiring at the land trust.”

This insane thinking is local. He’s also an avid investor in the Iraqi dinar.

Behind the dark clouds is light

Heavy on my mind tonight is A11 and A12. Looking out the window I’m reminded that some dark clouds can have bright linings. Many of the strengths of the Cville community now were born from the dark crucible of that summer of hate

8/11/17. left chalk there.

Eight years on Monday.

As if Schragger actually knows anything about what actually happens in this City

If MeToo didn’t cause you to reflect on why the women in your life don’t feel safe confiding in you for help, it really should have

A few thoughts on the Jack Jouett primary. @sallyforsupervisor.bsky.social won for a few reasons: first, she had better ideas. Pro-housing policies are very popular! County politics often get stuck in the mud and she figured out how to navigate them in a forward thinking, results oriented way.

A sign at a protest reads “you lost” next to a Confederate flag, “you lost” next to a Nazi flag, and “you’re next” next to a MAGA hat.

Let’s not mince words on exactly what the MAGA movement is.

this story is just a great illustration of NIMBY nihilism. at core, these people have no vision for anything. they simply oppose change for the sake of opposition. (i also think there is an element of death denial here — if i can prevent all physical changes i can deny the reality of my mortality)
