BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

it’s very clear that beneath all the lies, the real rationale for sending a bunch of perfectly nice and normal dudes to CECOT was to deter immigration by saying “you will end up in hell if you come here”. personally I think we have to deter THAT malignancy with trials and harsh, speedy punishment.

No sooner do we send out a fundraising email noting a precipitous drop in funds than two new bond requests come in totaling $15,000. Can we bring some detained folks home for the holidays? 🙏🏻 Thanks, y’all. secure.actblue.com/donate/ccfre...

Hi! TOMORROW is the last day to donate. Please help us spread the word. Thank you for your support!! ❤️

Congratulations to all the organizers, protesters, public commenters, email senders and general busybodies who turned out to boot Flock Safety out of C’ville I’ll share some thoughts in this thread but first ….

To give you a sense of how big a departure this year, the government doesn't do this for wanted criminals.

I would like the phrase and concept of "common decency" to make a comeback

We've got to do better when it comes to planning and paying for protected bike lanes and traffic calming. We hear the City say one thing, and then do another when it comes to actually putting money and political will into real improvements.

This bridge is a total game-changer!

Was going to post about this today, but the awesome folks at @indivisiblecville.bsky.social already did! And their case-making is 💯 Please give if you can 🙏🏻

We are putting together our first “Holiday Gift Guide” and need your help! Please reply with items you use to walk/bike/roll through your community that you think others will enjoy. It can be clothing, gear, books, etc. And of course all we really want for the holidays is better infrastructure!

It’s super easy to share your feedback on this really suboptimal design for the 5th St bridge over 64. VDOT just unveiled stunning multimodal infrastructure over 29; why are 2-wheeled road users dismissed on this project?

Tickets are nearly sold out but are still available. Hope to see you tonight!

Took our K students to the central library today and their excitement over books and the beauty of the space was so lovely! Free field trips rock but if you’d like to sponsor a future trip for our babies… let me know ❤️

Good morning from the brand new multimodal bridge over 29 🙌🏻

This has been a banner week for bond—5 new requests have come in since Monday totaling over $20K. Our funds are dwindling. You can help! Attend next week’s film screening (see below) or make a direct contribution: secure.actblue.com/donate/ccfre...

Just called the DC office and got through right away. Was kinda shocked and disappointed. Warner was VM only

Frost is coming

Spotify is running ads recruiting more ICE agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities, so we’re calling on users to stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops streaming fascism: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

Interested in learning more about how immigration policy affects local folks? Want to better understand why immigrants in our community have chosen to make a home here? Care to support bond payments for VAians held in ICE detention? You can do all three on Nov. 19! www.tixtree.com/e/freedom-fr...

Dick Cheney dies, Zohran Mamdani wins, a beaver moon shines in the sky… I just know the Etsy witches have been busy.

leave trans people alone, don’t fuck with universities, and stop arresting our immigrant neighbors.

Lisa is awesome. Listen to Lisa!

Interested in trying out an e-bike? The next E-Bike Demo is Wednesday October 29th from noon-2pm at Ting Pavilion.

Down with daylight savings time!

Reminder that if Virginia poceeds with redistricting whoever is our Attorney General will defend us (or not) against the inevitable legal challenges. Not to mention defend (or not) our right to an abortion. Please VOTE for JAY JONES. We need him and he's gonna need every vote.

Welcome, Chemex #3

I just saw an ad where Jason “I do whatever Trump wants” Miyares expressed his support for SRO’s. The majority of the Cville City and Albemarle County school boards align with Miyares on this issue, a strong indicator they are wrong. This is why I’m voting for Lisa Torres and Zyahna Bryant!

Today was joyful, defiant, and fun. Multigenerational. Uplifting. Locally, generous folks raised over $3k to bond VA immigrants out of ICE detention. An amazing use of 2hrs for thousands of people!

WE HAVE FRIENDS EVERYWHERE! nokings.org

Every last word of this. Was honked and leered at just this morning. Often it happens while walking my kid to school / the bus stop. Mostly by men in cars.

hi charlottesville! if you're voting in the city school board election this november, there are four candidates running for three seats. here's where they stand on the return of police to our schools:

I still stand by this plan and am frustrated it's currently held up even though the City is trying to move it forward. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/im8p0...

It’s easy to feel powerless right now, but showing up for this will feel SO damn good. ACPS School Board meeting, 10/9, 6:30pm, Alb County office building at Preston & Mcintire

I never want to see another human trot across a crosswalk, hurry their stroller/kids/mobility device or rush a senior resident through an intersection or any road. It’s ridiculous, like we’ve been gifted some incredible act of patience and kindness from our auto overlords.

**Action for Albemarle Residents** Turning Point USA (a "hard right extremist group" per the SPLC) has invited an explicitly anti-trans presentation to be given to the kids at WAHS. Email [email protected] Tell them to support trans & LGBTQ+ students & keep kids safe in school!

Y’all you never know what might happen to you between now and Nov 4. You could be abducted by aliens, the rapture, etc. Get your vote in!

ACTION FOR CVILLE RESIDENTS: email [email protected] & [email protected] Tell them you oppose the City paying a significant amount for police in schools while school support staff earn $20K-$30K LESS per year than a living wage. *Prioritize paying a living wage*

Improving bike/ped infrastructure takes longer and is more expensive than I want. And we have a LOT of catching up to do. But after decades of ignoring it, we do finally have the support to prioritize bike lanes, sidewalks, and traffic calming at the City. Keep riding, walking, and pushing for more!

TFW you will absolutely cancel your Disney+ subscription but you have to finish watching Andor first 😆

i will also be voting for Lisa Torres and Dashad Cooper! I will NOT be voting for Emily Dooley, whose time as chair was spent shoving through an expensive & dangerous policy (SROs) without genuine community input or meaningful guardrails.

Louder for the voters in the back! Lisa Larson-Torres and @zysaidso.bsky.social are the only ones up for election who are serious about alternatives to armed police in our schools. Please vote accordingly!

Cville- Lisa Torres is unequivocally the School Board member who has one of my three votes. It’s not even close. Lisa listens, deeply cares, asks questions on all sides of an issue, & ensures well-rounded policy. She works for our community, not her own aggrandizement.

This is class solidarity. In case you’re at all confused.

Read this and immediately felt better

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

The GOP's education playbook. Step 1: Make public schooling as shitty and stressful as possible for kids and parents and teachers. Step 2: Sell private schooling as the antidote to the stress and shittiness. Step 3: Funnel public education money into private hands.

What if Democrats had defended immigration over the last few years instead of running from it?
