🚨 Advocacy opp! VDOT has created a plan to redesign the W. Main / Ridge intersection to improve traffic flow + provide protected bike lanes and many pedestrian upgrades. It’s not perfect but it’s WAY better than what is there now, and it’s designed to get state funding to get it built.

Good idea! If you have the DominionEnergy app, though, you already have this at your fingertips. Regardless, it's going to come in handy the next few days (week??😬).

In Germany, a lot of houses have these Stolpersteines on their sidewalks or stoops. They’re a memorial to victims of the Holocaust who were ripped from that home. Some houses have a few. Other houses have many. ICE has started going door to door in America.

I wrote a quick blog post in 2014 titled "police reforms you should always oppose." It went viral and became the basis of a chart created by Critical Resistance to evaluate abolitionist steps. Money for training and body cams were the first two on my list.

Hey, I did that thing &, turns out, Virginia is sending me $108 in unclaimed property! One from a 2006 payroll reciprocity glitch with DC & the other from Century Link. Next I'm off to the DC site to try there - they have billions more in unclaimed property even than Virginia.

We still have no idea what the city spends what it spends on policing. Lloyd Snook, a criminal defense attorney by trade, appears completely fine to go his entire 8 years on council approving budgets that never involved a serious query as to the reason for our public safety spending.

This is the way. YOU make the choice to whom you give and when. Don't let them take over your accounts. I'm also here to say it IS worth 2-4 minutes a day to unsubscribe/block/report junk every unwanted email or text you receive. Soon you have a blissfully clean account greeting you each morning:)

In 249 years, this country has yet to outlaw slavery. We change its form, we change its name, but slavery has been constant. Powerful people and businesses just really love slave labor, and a chunk of our economy is built on that.

Plans are moving ahead for a mixed-use development in Fifeville that will include a grocery co-op and low-cost housing, but residents need city funding to get the project to the finish line.

I’m at the airport in San Jose, CA. The line for Volaris Airline to points south is not just mobbed… it’s insane. It lapped 4 times right into the rest of the lobby. I actually thought it was the TSA line. Please tell me this is for holiday travel & not people fleeing this country.

If Virginia Democrats follow through with a new 10-1 congressional map and a couple of other Dem states make small changes, Trump's gambit to rig the 2026 maps will be remembered as an epic blunder.
