ICE agents shouldn’t be executing people on the street even if they ARE the target of the warrant

Imagine a world in which we hate homelessness more than we now hate the homeless & unhoused. A world in which we hate poverty more than we hate the poor.

Just cleaned out two closets and made a doctors appointment. Adulting ⭐️

My neighbors’ house was destroyed in last week’s storm. Please help and share if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/support-yo...

That’s what happens when you get rid of the department of defense

The Mall crossings are once again open & many drivers are once again failing to obey the stop signs or yield to pedestrians. The city should close them permanently—for public safety & for the symbolic statement that on the Mall, if nowhere else, people are more important than cars. But here we are.

Even more important now that they’re getting paid by federal govt to work with ICE

In today’s episode of biking… I was walking my bike across JPA in a cross walk and a car DROVE AROUND ME instead of stopping. Wtf.

they’re just pulling over work vans. like people actually getting shit done

My brother, if we win the Democratic Party primaries then we ARE the Democratic Party

I have my great, great, great aunt’s handwritten family history that goes back to the late 1880s. Looking for the best way to digitize it if anyone has suggestions.

I think we would be better off with clean water and affordable electricity than a Google that scans information and summarizes for us.

My 3 kids asked for a raise in their allowance, so I told them they have to type a proposal for the amount they want and the chores they will do in exchange. Welcome to bargaining, little ones.

Thousands have turned out for an Anti-Racism rally in Belfast city centre, organised by United Against Racism and supported by Trade Unions

Mom and I have been traveling in Ireland for almost 2 weeks and our new hobby is playing cards in pubs. Bringing this back to America.

There’s a reason they’re targeting libraries. They don’t want you educated. They don’t want you to have a nuanced view of history. Or to read novels that will give you empathy. Or to know about inspiring women, Black or LGBTQ people. They want you intellectually small and easy to manipulate.

54 and cloudy is the perfect perimenopausal temperature.

I’m traveling in Ireland with my mom and we have taken planes, buses, taxis, trains, vans, and ferries. I think we need to find a bike and a horse before we leave.

I need every dinner to end with a shot of Baileys now. Thanks #Dublin

charlottesville city schools happily announcing their new police hires on the same day the nyt puts out yet another damning report on police violence against school children 👍 great policy work guys what could go wrong 👍 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

You may recall the deceitful letter the city school board sent out in February bashing Charlottesville Education Association. CEA didn’t back down, got the collective bargaining contract, and then filed a successful grievance against the school board. Union strong! cvillerightnow.com/news/208802-...

I’m at CHS graduation and seeing this amazingly diverse group of families celebrate their kids is so very beautiful! 😭

The most wholesome minute of your day.

Yesterday I cried with a coworker whose dad passed away in Afghanistan. Today another coworker picks up her son from a year long deployment. Seniors are graduating next week, but two 19 year olds died this week in car accidents. There’s a lot of joy and a lot of heavy right now.

Just signed out of my union president email account! 👏🏼

Today "millions of Palestinians mark the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, Arabic for 'catastrophe,' referring to the mass expulsion and flight of some 750,000 Palestinians from what is now Israel during the 1948 war surrounding Israel’s creation." apnews.com/article/nakb...

Class war: 1. Promise collective bargaining 2. Waste workers’ time by having them lobby you for months 3. Make amendment to weaken bill 4. Waste more worker time 5. Veto saying you’ll hope to pass something next year while workers continue being unable to afford rent vadogwood.com/news/labor/b...

It's crazy how easy it would be to build a fair, decent society. Every day wouldn't be perfect, but it wouldn't be desperate, it wouldn't be terrifying. We could make it good so easily. It's just a few evil, slime-brained, greedy freaks who force horrors on us. We could remove their power. We could.

My emotional support chicken attended a PLC and a staff meeting today.

“We’re proud to be able to do our part here in Charlottesville,” Campbell said. “We’re fighting against a millionaire class that is always going to be able to outspend us, and so the way that we fight that is by banding together in solidarity.” #MayDay #MayDayCville #Charlottesville #StrikeReady

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

now we're at the part where they've called in two UVA professors to "review" their contract with the police. yes, they are the authors of one of the ONLY studies that found positive effects of SROs. yes, it is infuriating to listen to them.

School board/admin “cops are always in our buildings” Data: 25 times this entire school year they were called for a threat assessment. Let’s start being honest about data.

Get you some besties who show up at rallies with GIANT signs to support protecting kids.

We are now hatching chickens and watching tadpoles grow into frogs in my classroom. Adding caterpillars to the Room 9 farm next week!

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

Gov. Spanberger is apparently considering vetoing or modifying the collective bargaining bill. Let her know how you feel about this via an email! Pass the Collective Bargaining Bill. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/pass...

Last year, the CCS Board voted to bring armed police back into our schools without meaningful community input and despite concerns from parents, teachers, staff, and students. Research shows School Resource Officers (SROs) don’t make schools safer and can harm our most vulnerable students.

E-biked home from the Luke Combs concert in less than ten minutes. 🚲

Please for the love stop yelling “that’s cheeting!” at people e-biking. Accessibility is not cheating.

Virginians: during the GA session, universities fought to change the immigration bill to ensure that they WOULD NOT be required to notify students, faculty or staff if ICE shows up.

Community showed up to give a whole hour of public comment asking the school board to Rethink & Revote.

My co teacher and our babies!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

LETS GO!

The more you walk and bike, the more you realize how aggressive cars/drivers are.

💔 happening over and over again. Please help if you can.

Whoa my bracket is busted.
