thinking once more of @starinthetitle.bsky.social's idea for us to start a podcast together called "Does the Mom Die In This One?" about media depictions of moms specifically and women over 40 more generally and the plot agency they are or are not allowed

any advice from writers for when you desperately need to start writing something but you can't because you're terrified of it being terrible

“Republicans want more teen pregnancy” might now be the best example of how the general public cannot comprehend how extreme the GOP has become.

ICYMI: Arlington released data on Missing Middle housing permits through 2025. TLDR: The zoning reform is a win for Arlington families. Check out more here: yimbysofnova.org/news-and-upd...

not only is this exciting — the lt. governor’s office should, uh, contact me — but it is a not so subtle way to claim some of virginia’s most potent historical symbols — its universities and the affiliated figures, like madison and jefferson and george mason — for the libs

When Donald Trump says the Pope is “weak on crime,” he just means Leo is insufficiently racist.

Trump is running an interesting experiment in how many self-identified Christian Americans have actual religious commitments and how many are just into it because it provides a means for the socially defensible expression of bigotry bsky.app/profile/bria...

Gender anxiety from parents of boys is real and it’s far more influential than any inherent gender tendencies

Very excited about the YIMBY frisbees we are giving away at our Spring Picnic! actionnetwork.org/events/yimby...

I’m fed up with the direction our country is going. So I'm running for Congress in Virginia's new 7th district to put working families first, hold the powerful accountable, and fight to build a future we can actually be proud of. Learn more at votejoe.org

The threats themselves are impeachable. Keep pressuring your members of Congress to honor their oaths. Don't let up.

Two weeks to remove him. Now.

Jail presidents, not children.

You know…you could actually go back in sit in chambers as a show of strength. And that Dems care.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.

It’s long past time. Maybe Democratic Leadership won’t whip votes against this. Who knows.

If I were a senator or congressperson, I would not be on social media right now. Actually, I would be on social media. I would be live in an airport or on a train while on my way back to the Capitol to hold a sit-in with as many colleagues and camera crews as possible over this ****.

Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the leader of the free world. That's why I have cosponsored H. Res. 939 Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office.

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

Granting arguendo that impeachment is unobtainable (and we shouldn't surrender in advance on that), impeachment is not the only way for Congress to force a president from office. They could also go Westminster with the power of the purse: absolutely nothing gets funded until the president resigns.

There is nothing that Trump won't do to get his way. That includes using nukes. If only someone had the power to stop him. Oh wait....

Apartment buildings are holding up Arlington's tax base, and they could contribute a lot more if we *let developers build*

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.

For all NoVA area housing advocates, please RSVP for our Spring Picnic. We'll have food, fun, and games - and logo frisbees! It'll be like recess for the housing nerds! actionnetwork.org/events/yimby...

There wasn’t a single Democratic elected official who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death. Not one. Donald Trump is openly celebrating Robert Mueller’s death and no Republicans are condemning him. Both sides are not the same.

@maureencoffeyva.bsky.social Please help save the Cherry Blossom Bike Lane!

Absolutely insane. The 15th St PBL are a key transit corridor for both locals and tourists. Used to be my regular route for commuting to work in DC.

Legislators passed bills to address housing affordability and supply, bolster renter protections, and paved the way for state input on certain local zoning decisions. The 2026 legislative session marked significant strides in housing policy at the state level. virginiamercury.com/2026/03/17/h...

We have to be clear on this. He’s playing fast and loose - and without care - with American lives.

In which a man discusses how a (woman) researcher took him on though he had no experience and poured into him until he could hold his own. And how it’s too onerous for him to do the same for students because AI is just so much easier.

Feels like every single Democratic official should be loudly pointing out that the president is a dementia-ravaged thug who needs to be impeached and removed from office, even if just to cover their own asses for when he inevitably tries to nuke the Oscar ceremony or whatever.

wealthy homeowners: "my home is an investment and the value of it should increase in perpetuity and that is my god-given right" also wealthy homeowners: "the government acknowledging that my home value has increased is an unconstitutional attack on homeowners!"
