Proud to support EBP & our Dems leading on these important bills. Would like to see something amending 53.1-220.2—which allows sheriffs to transfer people to ICE custody with nothing more than an admin detainer—to remove the sheriffs' discretion & allow transfers only under a judicial warrant.

House Health sub unanimously kills Del Hamilton bill to ban fluoridation of water by VA localities. Now that RFK & federal government are ignoring 100 years of medical research in favor of tin foil hat theories, we rely on state legislatures to protect us.

Early frontrunners for Snow Idiots of the Day are the two youths (mid-20s) who managed to get a pickup truck stuck sideways across our street, were flooring it with wheels turned, then dug themselves out by dumping shovels onto sidewalk I’d already cleared. They received a hearty “hey guys WTF?!”

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

There are a lot of reasons to like sports, but the thing that draws me in is the opportunity to watch Things Not Go The Way They Are Supposed To. It’s the thing that ties together underdog stories and impossible endings and dominant runs by superhuman athletes, this destruction of sensibility.

The only state in the country that permanently disenfranchises people by default after serving time for a felony conviction advances constitutional amendment to change that to House floor. Hugely disappointing to see this a partisan vote--incl. a former GOP patron, Del Cherry.

NB for Alexandrians: although we are all referring to today’s voting as a “primary,” it’s actually a Democratic Party caucus and you do have to sign an affidavit to participate. It just says yes, I’m a Democrat and I’ll support the Dem in the general.

This poll shows that 74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting getting rid of the agency. Any elected Democrat who wants ICE to exist is outside the mainstream of their party and the people they purport to represent.
