Organizing works, every worker deserves a fair and livable wage, and we all deserve representatives that will actually represent our interests. #organizingworks

If you think our tax $ should be spent to pay school cafeteria staff a living wage (and not to put police in schools), you're our people! Join us tomorrow!

Husband just took a 👀at some of our retirement savings that we put into an "ESG" fund (a class of funds that is meant to be "socially responsible"). Y'all: here's what they did with our $:

So good and so real. "It’s not just that we are being destroyed, it’s that we are being destroyed for *incredibly stupid reasons.* There lies the ultimate triumph of the dumbasses!" www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/getting-ye...

If you spent even one second of the last decade indulging the free speech claims made by the American right in earnest, I genuinely think you're lacking in intelligence. I do not think you have what it takes to deliver sound commentary on American politics.

Fascism is brittle, it is vulnerable to mass discontent and public pressure. Fascists trying to suppress speech are admitting their weakness, they’re telling us where to push.

We’ll enjoy good company & refreshments as we write our reps about prioritizing a living wage, repealing VA's so-called “right to work” law and more. Postcards, stamps, & suggested language, provided! A Labor Month Action ! #SolidiaritySeptember #WorkersOverBillionaires

Something useful you can do for Labor Month! #SolidaritySeptember #WorkersOverBillioniares.

All Hands Meeting - Y'all come! Let's reflect on what we've accomplished together so far and engage in planning to meet the challenges ahead. Childcare available. Registration required: www.eventbrite.com/e/1648384565...

CALL TO ACTION: Follow Livable Cville's important 🧵for actions you can take. Speak up about this cruelty.

oh no! I agree with the right-wing weirdo about sourdough.

Camping = "sleeping or lying down" on sidewalks, trails, in parks---anywhere in public! This is some seriously cruel shit.

Srsly, cops shouldn't be in schools but how does anyone think *NOW* is a good time to put cops into schools? SIGN THE PETITION.

On Labor Day, Mon. Sept. 1st, Join us as we kick off Labor Month—a month of action lifting up local unions and the workers who keep our communities running. Make our solidarity visible, loud, & strong! 5-6 pm 401 McIntire Rd. For unions, every day is Labor Day! #WorkersOverBillionaires

i hate this smug liar so much

From the ACLU Washington, DC Chapter in case there are still laws:

These 3 will all vote to enshrine reproductive freedom into the VA Constitution. Y'all, VA is the only southern state left withOUT restrictions on abortion. This is a good way to spend 9 hours over the next couple of months, imo.

so, why?

Experimental philosophy

These “DC elites shouldn’t deny crime” takes are so…did you just land here from the moon. First of all who are you talking about. Second of all the point isn’t that there is no crime, it’s that Trump is clearly describing a fictional dystopia for political gain while making our real city less safe.

occupying army. literally doing the "move along citizen" bit

another one for Team Oxford Comma.

Truly think the sandwich guy was the only good & decent person left at DOJ.

Trying to understand how the Charlottesville area can address homelessness? This @chiosse.bsky.social video about NYC has many applications to Charlottesville and Albemarle County for short, medium, and long term solutions.

It seems to me a porta potty rental would be a much better use of city funds than repeatedly sending police down there.

hear me out here, what if none of it is a 'distraction' and they're just doing a lot of horrible shit simultaneously

People will say this isn't possible and then build 500 prisons and deploy thousands of federal troops at ten times the price.

DC statehood must be a Day 1 priority for the next Dem trifecta

👊

A Moral Monday in Lynchburg!

The fact that the school division would consider increasing police presence in the age of Trump is shocking and obviously poorly conceived. Hopefully they’ll come to their senses.

Happening now: protesters in Chicago are interrupting a hiring fair at the Congress Hotel, where U.S. Customs and Border protection is recruiting today. Banner reads, "stop kidnapping our neighbors!" It's quite the scene in here, and the DHS table has been blocked for several minutes already.

On this Chairteenth, we celebrate the good folks of Montgomery, especially our guy AquaMayne. Special shout out to the folks who, within 72 hours, recreated this in their apartment complex. A COMMUNITY!! 💀

Show me what democracy looks like

This is why Charlottesville melted down that RE Lee statue

How do we maintain our commitment to solidarity when we disagree?

not saying anything specifically but, man, does this one seem timely!

Who knew protests would be good for the local economy. 🙂 Portland protests drive foot traffic to downtown businesses. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com

We have had stable, professional, vouchsafed information about the physical & economic world for so long that we entirely take it for granted. It's going to be truly wild to operate in a world where quite literally no one knows for sure what is happening, where there is no fact of the matter.

Women’s status is very rapidly eroding—in their civil rights protections, healthcare, access to the public sphere, and the cultural support for their independence and dignity. But there is no feminism: our public gender discourse is divided between transphobia and handwringing about man’s feelings.

My dream is that we have tenants unions in every state and city, starting with red states. It feels like one of the few ways to reach people deeply propagandized by the right.

Our friends at The Haven have put out a request for supplies. Please take a minute to see what they need and consider supporting The Haven and our neighbors experiencing homelessness. mailchi.mp/thehaven/sto...

Courthouse raids are cruel, make us all less safe, & CANNOT HAPPEN without the cooperation of the sheriff. Tell ELECTED Chesterfield Sheriff Karl Leonard to do his job & protect his own court: 804-751-4410, [email protected] @rva-indivisible.bsky.social virginiamercury.com/2025/06/27/h...

I too have zero influence over what my direct reports do on the job.

Seems bad: “the deans said that donors are withholding pledges, fundraisers suspended a multi-year campaign and new hires are rethinking their commitment to the University.”
