Alex Lawson: We're outside the Energy & Commerce committee with folks risking arrest to protest the destruction of Medicaid which is what Republicans are doing right now in the committee room.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

We are in a constitutional crisis. Not “maybe” but yes that’s where we are. The executive branch has chosen to defy the judicial branch. They have chosen to defy the rule of law & due process. Return Mr Abrego Garcia now.

“McGuire just voted to cut Medicaid for 160,000 constituents.” A punchy, fact-filled post by watchmanVA5 on what our Congressman just did. (In general, subscribing to watchmanVA5 is a good idea if you want to keep up on what our Congressman is up to.) www.watchmanva5.com/p/mcguire-ju...

You have got to be kidding me. wtf is wrong with any D senator who voted for Caine? They fired the Black military leaders in order to hire him. Qualified and experienced Black men and women tossed aside for this unqualified POS. Kaine and Warner,WTF??

The best case scenario is that this is a stock shorting scheme, and in a week, there will be masterful (non-existent) "dealmaking" that removes the tariffs after the billionaires buy the dip causing a massive transfer of wealth. That's the *best* case scenario.

Goochland VA April 5 hands off rally. 200+. #handsoff #ruralva #grassroots #blueawave

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

Ghazala Hashmi Campaign “Internal” Poll of the 2025 VA Dem. Lt. Gov. Primary Has 46% Undecided; Prior to Bios, It’s Aaron Rouse (15%)-Levar Stoney (15%)-Hashmi (13%); After bios are read, Hashmi jumps to a 28%-22%-19% lead over Stoney and Rouse, respectively bluevirginia.us/2025/03/ghaz...

Bwahahahahahaha

These days, however, Paul, Weiss doesn’t seem to want to talk about the Center’s future. It’s among the starkest examples yet of how key institutions of civil society are knuckling under, rather than holding firm, in the face of President Donald Trump’s attacks.

On freedom. Published in 2024. Hmm. 🤔

Remembering when in December Trump announced: "The media is tamed down a little bit. They like us much better now, I think. If they don’t, then we’ll just have to take them on again, and we don’t want to do that." It is amazing how right he was and how cowardly so many of them have become.

April 5. Join us. Goochland, VA. www.mobilize.us/handsoff/eve...

Tesla takedown today at 1pm. Henrico. Broad street Tesla. Gather at 1. March at 1:30 9850 west broad street. Henrico Va.

@nlanard.bsky.social is going on @chrislhayes.bsky.social tonight to talk about this galling story that he and @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social wrote. Tune in

Our “where’s congressman John McGuire” town hall. Very proud of this. It’s an hour plus but the questions from the 5th District are so important. Virginia 5th d. 2025 elections are vital!!! youtu.be/Y2rR7_pJrvw

I guess he said it pretty clearly. Without seeming to realize that the most vulnerable can’t get a passport and can’t flee. And he doesn’t say flee so you can fight. He says flee so you can have “new experiences”. How “liberating.” Thanks @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Chapter 19 Be A Patriot. Chapter 20. Be As Courageous As You Can. I’m thinking of all the students left behind. I’m so very very disappointed.

Saturday broad street. GLEN ALLEN/henrico Va Tesla. 1pm gather, kickoff at 1:30. Peaceful. Spread the love but hold Elon accountable. Tesla drivers/owners are NOT the enemy. Elon musk needs to get out of our government.

Im confused. Was the 21st lesson “flee” www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

Florida– there are two critically important special elections coming up on April 1st that could bring some sense of balance, some sanity back to Congress. Vote for Gay Valimont (FL-01) & Josh Weil (FL-06). We need these two voices of reason in the US House. We’re one week away. Make a plan to vote.

Video of @repsuhas.bsky.social (D-VA10)’s “PACKED” Warrenton Town Hall in a “conservative part of northern Virginia” (Fauquier County went 60% for Trump in 2024 and 65.5% for Youngkin in 2021) bluevirginia.us/2025/03/vide... h/t @LisaDNews @samshirazi.bsky.social

Thank you! This worked bc the VA sen 10 loose group of dem committees stayed connected after special election. Rural committees need to sick together and be creative & share resources. Gooch alone could not have done this. 💙

Commending Putin. This administration are all Russian assets.

Chants of “Tax the rich!” resonated at Republican Rep. Mike Flood’s town hall in Nebraska’s deep-red 1st congressional district. Today, protesters held demonstrations both outside Flood’s office and outside the town hall.

CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕🇺🇸

In a total betrayal of their constituents and our democracy, 10 Democrats just voted with Senate Republicans to give Trump and Musk a blank check to continue their coup. @schumer.senate.gov led Democrats to this total surrender. We need strong leadership, not cowards who cave at any GOP pressure.

@schumer.senate.gov and the 9. Fuck you. Teeth bared and claws out is how it’s going to be. It’s up to us. Our leadership failed.

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social we need you to vote NO. You’re either fighting or capitulating. Bowing to tyrants never works out.

@klobuchar.senate.gov please Vote NO on cloture. Hang tough with veterans.

@fetterman.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov VOTE NO. TRUMP et al will destroy us. A YES vote does nothing for us in the long run and even FED EMPLOYEES want a No.

Crowd forming up for the Veterans March for Democracy here on the Mall in DC. You can be sure most of them are veterans because they’re way early- which in the military means you’re on time.

NEW: Trump’s FEMA administrator just sent out an email ordering all employees to stop sending things to the media without prior authorization. It was immediately sent to me by a FEMA employee without prior authorization to share with you.

300 ish people showed up to protest Elon at the Glen Allen VA Tesla. Representing 7+ counties and many organizations and many folks who just spontaneously joined. So much support from passersby and the local police.

Lunch today at GG’s in maidens and a march or two on saturday. Hang in there, lovelies. This is tough stuff. @goochlanddems.bsky.social

A federal judge ruled that Trump violated federal law by firing the chair of the Merit Systems Protection Board, which protects federal workers from unfair employment practices like politically motivated firings and whistleblower retaliation.

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.
