Why isn't there more anger and protest directed at those individuals/organizations who are clearly identified as assisting in the development of Project 2025?

"One person can't change any of this" "One voice can't be heard" "One vote won't matter" Go tell that to my friend Maureen who took it upon herself to craft a sign and travel up and down a busy local road today. Let's all find a way to embrace our inner Maureen.

It is embarrassing and dangerous when our elected officials are so incompetent they can not discern truth from parody. US Rep. John McGuire has reposted info that originated from a parody site as a joke. You been punk'd.

Where are all the white hat hackers? Time to join the fight.

For those who think it may be ambiguous or taken out of context or we're all simply speculating..... let me clear it up for you.

Working class solidarity is the superpower billionaires fear.

Anyone want to talk about the classic pump and dump scheme happening before our eyes? Trump meme coins have tripled in value in a day. Current market value of $6B with 200M coins in circulation. The fun part is there are 800M coins still held by Trump organization to be released over 3 years.

Yes we're becoming an oligarchy, but can we please find a handful of more relatable terms to use, at least on the local level? I'm leaning toward "the ruling rich" and their "corporate cronies" but even the use of cronies sounds outdated. Suggestions?

One week into the new year/new city council and it's still the same song. Republicans infighting, arguing, dysfunction and we pay the price. As it stands: Finance Committee: Taylor, Misjuns (chair), Diemer (Faraldi refuses assignment) Physical Development : Taylor, Timmer (chair), Reed, Wilder

Congratulations to @jacktrammell.bsky.social for chipping away at the Rep grip in a red stronghold. This is exactly the difficult work we need to do. Leave no seat uncontested. Run when the odds are against you because there's no better opportunity to spread the facts about our Democratic values.

We're an hour away from the Lynchburg city council vote for Mayor and Vice. Republicans hold a 6-1 majority but they're fighting one another. The vote will determine if the moderate magas currently in the top two seats remain or if the ultramagas take over. I'm heading to city hall to bear witness.

With regards to Matt Gaetz - why is the media characterizing it as "sex with an underage girl" or "sex with a minor" instead of sexual assualt or statutory rape?

what would our schools look like? our roads? our public transit systems?

Exact same thing we see here in LYH. A 30% minority general population yet a 70% minority population in public schools. All in the shadow of an original segregation academy, LCA. Now city council wants to defund public education. We're faced with an education apartheid.

Maybe, maybe not, but there is a step we can take in VA at the local level. Ranked choice voting for local elections is an option if you can get your governing body to vote on it. It's party neutral but can open the door for deeper discussion of issues from parties such as @workingfamilies.org .

Hey @vademocrats.bsky.social how about throwing us a bone out here in #Lynchburg. We're starving. With people like @benwikler.bsky.social and others talking about a 50 state strategy, let's start discussing a VA all precincts strategy. What happens here matters everywhere.

How do you improve community with left leaning solutions when you have almost zero political power. I'm not sure but I'm diving deeply into the strategies of @deepakbhargava.bsky.social and @stephluce.bsky.social in Practical Radicals along with @mauricewfp.bsky.social at The Working Family Party.
