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 β€” β€œbased 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

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.

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 β€”Β if i can prevent all physical changes i can deny the reality of my mortality)

I’m open to being convinced of FEI’s importance, and I certainly think the advice to CCS to consider FEI and future administrations in their future plans is prudent.

But to accuse supporters of CCS and the new pre school of aiding and abetting fascism seems dramatic and unwarranted.

I think this is a great comparison. Sherando Lake is irreplaceable. It is not 10% clear that this location is absolutely necessary for the existence of FEI. Also, the benefits of Sherando Lake are tangible; the benefits of FEI (and the benefits of FEI at this specific location) are abstract.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
ASSOCIATED PRESS,
Plaintiff, v.
TAYLOR BUDOWICH, in his official capacity as White House Deputy Chief of Staff, et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. 1:25-cv-00532 (TNM)
MEMORANDUM ORDER
About two months ago, President Donald Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. The Associated Press did not follow suit. For that editorial choice, the White House sharply curtailed the AP's access to coveted, tightly controlled media events with the President.
The AP now sues the White House chief of staff, her communications deputy, and the press secretary (collectively, "the Government", seeking a preliminary injunction enjoining the Government from excluding it because of its viewpoint.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ASSOCIATED PRESS, Plaintiff, v. TAYLOR BUDOWICH, in his official capacity as White House Deputy Chief of Staff, et al., Defendants. Case No. 1:25-cv-00532 (TNM) MEMORANDUM ORDER About two months ago, President Donald Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. The Associated Press did not follow suit.

The AP now sues the White House chief of staff, her communications deputy, and the press secretary (collectively, "the Government", seeking a preliminary injunction enjoining the Government from excluding it because of its viewpoint.

Today, the Court grants that relief. But this injunction does not limit the various
permissible reasons the Government may have for excluding journalists from limited-access
events. It does not mandate that all eligible journalists, or indeed any journalists at all, be given
access to the President or nonpublic government spaces. It does not prohibit government officials from freely choosing which journalists to sit down with for interviews or which ones' questions they answer. And it certainly does not prevent senior officials from publicly
expressing their own views.
Case 1:25-cv-00532-TNM Document 46 Filed 04/08/25 Page 2 of 41
No, the Court simply holds that under the First Amendment, if the Government opens its doors to some journalists be it to the Oval Office, the East Room, or elsewhere- it cannot then shut those doors to other journalists because of their viewpoints. The Constitution requires no
less.

For these reasons, it is

2. Defendants shall immediately rescind their viewpoint-based denial of the AP's access to events open to all credentialed White House journalists.
3. This preliminary injunction shall remain in effect until further order of this Court.
4. This preliminary injunction issues without the requirement of any security bond.

BREAKING: Judge Trevor McFadden, appointed by Trump in his first term, issues a preliminary injunction ordering the Trump admin to rescind its decision blocking AP access to the Oval Office & Air Force One.

McFadden found the admin issued an unconstitutional viewpoint-based restriction on the AP.

I just gave to Sally Duncan! Show your support with a contribution.

As the campaign gets underway, it’s time for the awkward part of things πŸ˜…. But it really does take money to inform people about what I’m all about, so if you’re interested in supporting a pro-housing, pro-transit candidate, donations are definitely welcome!
