Trump administration to shutter LGBTQ youth suicide hotline next month #tinyman #littlehands #jackasses ground.news/article/heal...

ICE targeted an elementary school graduation to target allegedly undocumented parents. Fascism isn’t coming. It’s here.

What's up VA? We are ramping up our work to get the word out. @jasonreynoldsforsenate.com is going to primary @markwarner.bsky.social in 2026 to give the people a common sense, no BS, progressive choice! Spread the word. #progressive #goblue #commonsense #election #politics #nobullshit

Why can't the US have nice things like universal free lunch for public school students? @jcole4va.bsky.social @abigailspanberger.com any chance next year we could look at having it in Virginia?

I'd really like to see the list of corporations that decided not to sponsor Pridefest this year because they're scared of angering the Trump administration. I want to know where not to spend my money. www.axios.com/local/richmo...

@jasonreynoldsforsenate.com here you go... You asked for a list.

@gene4va.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social I hope you all plan on supporting the College for All Act that was just re-introduced. www.sanders.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

Added my comment. Please add yours if you haven't already.

When Virginians are losing their healthcare and we're paying higher state taxes to cover the uninsured, remember that the Republicans applauded these dangerous cuts. virginiamercury.com/2025/05/23/b...

Virginia voters, don't forget to show Wittman and Kiggans how much you appreciate them caving on their deep commitment to the healthcare of their constituents next year. This is even worse if they did it to get a tax break for themselves as the article suggests.

It's ridiculous that we need a term for people that work but earn too little to afford to live. "Functionally unemployed" should not be a thing. We need to ensure that wages keep up with the cost of living. www.cbsnews.com/news/unemplo...

It's been a good week. Got my bank account squared away, got my FEC registrations complete, and got my ActBlue approved. 🥳 Next up: grip/rack/palm card (whatever your printer calls them) and handout design.

🌈Happy Pride month everyone. Love is love and equality for all.🌈

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for. Kudos, Sir.🌦️

Not quite the turnout as last time, but still pretty respectable. There's a lot of good energy out here today.

There's a nice diversity in the signs out today. #handsoff

@jcole4va.bsky.social nice to see you out supporting your constituents. We appreciate you.

I'm glad the Democrats won in WI and outperformed in FL, but maybe we campaign on actually helping people in 2026 and not just on how shitty Elon and Trump are. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Everyone is getting a nice response so far.

@jelamonsterart.com the Hands Off protest seemed like the perfect venue for your Fuck the Broligarchy shirt. #handsoff

#handsoff protest

At the Hands Off protest. Nice turnout so far.

Seeing increased police presence in Fredericksburg on the way to the protest. Stay safe everyone.

This is how you can respond when faced with hate towards the transgender community

The Trump team's disdain for working people is crystal clear.

Not radical ideas — just common sense.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

Rob Wittman complains that funding caps by NIH, that he enabled by supporting Trump and Musk, will hurt Virginia. I hope someone is gearing up to run in VA-01 against him next year. wittman.house.gov/news/documen...

No surprise here. Our millionaire govenor says cutting federal jobs is necessary for lowering U.S. debt. I wonder what his position on fairly taxing millionaires is? virginiamercury.com/2025/03/19/y...

Rob Wittman is on a roll today. Now he's touting the implementation of the Social Security Fairness Act while he and his buddies work to gut the SSA and cut services. No wonder he's busy avoiding his constituents. www.wtvr.com/news/local-n...

Reminder for everyone in VA. If you find a Patriot Front sticker in the wild (in front of an elementary school), make sure you remove it, attach it to something appropriate (in this case a bag of dog shit), and then place it where it belongs (the nearest trashcan).

Come on people. You can do this. Get Gay elected. Republicans will go nuts with the name Gay lol.

@kris-and-dave.bsky.social so glad you're here too. Love you on IG, can't wait for more of the same here on Bluesky.

Costco is not alone. 200+ corporations publicly state their commitments to diversity, equity & inclusion. Thank you to everyone who has submitted suggestions. (Note: Only reflects employers' DEI commitments; not their political views or corporate policies) www.impactivize.org/dei-employer...

I called @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov today. If Sen. Warner votes yes, we will hold it against him during the primary next year.

These Senators are on the fence about voting NO on the CR: Elissa Slotkin (MI) Gary Peters (MI) Jacky Rosen (NV) Jeanne Shaheen (NH) Maggie Hassan (NH) Jon Ossoff (GA) John Hickenlooper (CO) Michael Bennett (CO) Mark Kelly (AZ) Peter Welch (VT) Mark Warner (VA) Time Kaine (VA) Call (202) 224-3121

I just traded a bookstore gift card for a dozen eggs (one of our regulars keeps chickens) and I think this arrangement is going to work out quite nicely.

Emails titled “What Did You Do Last Week? Part II” were sent to federal employees, instructing us to list five bullet points of our accomplishments and copy our managers. This time, we were informed that it will be a weekly requirement, due by 11:59 p.m. ET on Mondays.

So how did the #EconomicBlackout go yesterday? I haven't seen any info on what effect it had. Anyone have info?

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

Closed up the shop today in support of the economic blackout. 🖤 Quilty shopping will resume tomorrow, and I hope we will all continue with efforts to shop small and avoid anti-DEI retailers! 😉

This wasn't as satisfying as I had hoped. I was hoping I would be able to give feedback as to WHY I cancelled and that it would take effect today. Oh well, happy #economicblackout day.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

Interesting: the top-rated post on the main Virginia News Reddit channel right now calls for primarying Sen. @MarkWarner. It seems that a lot of folks aren't pleased with Sen. Warner's comments in Munich over the weekend...among other things. bluevirginia.us/2025/02/vide...

If you live in Texas 30 & experience casework delays as a result of these purges, I want to hear from you. If you're a federal employee in Texas 30 and have been impacted by these purges, I want to hear from you too. Please contact my office: tx30.us/contact
