RVA #Indivisable #protests here at the intersection of Patterson and Parham in #Richmond VA every Thursday. This week most of the signs were about ICE and we got a lot of honks and thumbs up. Renee Good attended ODU and won the Academy of American Poets Prize in 2020.

In your posts you sometimes say vote blue, sometimes vote red. The only thing consistant is your poor spelling. Who or what are you, really?

Bow wow yeah I do, if I understand your typo. Those who cared came out to show they cared which helped them reinforce their convictions. It's about getting people motivated to come out and vote. Recent military presence in dem majority cities attempts to scare MAGA opposition off. Ain't working.

In Richmond Virginia a peaceful protest with perfect weather. About 8-10K marching from Capito Square to Monroe Park. Barely mentioned in the local news. #protests, #indivisable, #resistance, #richmondprotests, #nokings

Beautiful day to protest against the Divine Playboy and his comic book underlings. In Richmond Va. an esti. 8 - 10,000 protestors who came out. A love fest for America. #protests, #richmondprotests, #resistance, #indivisable, #nokings

Enthusiastic turnout for Good Trouble Lives On in Richmond, Va. Heat index over 100 degrees but plenty of shade along Monument. Orange mussolini demanding Texas and the GOP intensify their gerrymandering. Can't let it happen. #goodtroubleliveson #votingrights #johnlewis #protests #gerrymandering

I've had some like that. At least it wasn’t a form letter. Maybe next reply will be better news.

I cast my vote for her in the primary this morning. The Dem candidates have similar platforms so I am happy with either. The Republicans are running John Reid for Lt. Gov. If Hashmi wins the primary then it will be someone born in India vs a conservative gay man. Anything goes!

#NoKings protest in Richmond, Virginia, near where I live. It was organized, well-planned, and to the point. Above all, peaceful and unified. Senator Ghazala Hashmi delivered an inspiring speech. The message is loud and clear. Part 2 of Hashmi's speech.

I have bad knees, but I couldn't miss this protest in Richmond, Virginia, near where I live. It was organized and to the point. Above all, peaceful. Sen. Ghazala Hashmi delivered an inspiring speech. The video's cut into two parts for time requirements, but very loud and clear. Part 1:

Conversation with a Coat

conversation was the thread between us
that couldn’t hold on
the stitching unraveled and the elbows worn

lift the handset, please, from the cradle when I call,
and put your coat on the line
we can talk some kitsch to pass the time

A fine protest. To the point and peaceful. Instead of dwelling on the negatives, show your displeasure and vote them out in all offices of government, starting with the lowest offices and on up. Shout out the truth in the streets and don't drink the Kool Aid. #HandsOff #protests #Musk #resist

Here's what went on in Richmond Virginia. It was a good day.
