As the seasons change, you might be wondering about biking in different weather conditions. E-Bike Dad and Livable Cville member @yyahn.bsky.social wrote a very nice guide to biking in the cold weather months. Check it out! yyahn.com/wiki/Bike/Wi...

Beautiful country. It’s our unofficial slogan on the road, and it’s what this campaign is about.

Is this another case of local government responding to citizens voices?

She is pretty amazing.

Virginia families deserve to feel safe in their neighborhoods. Community-driven programs show that when law enforcement and neighbors work together, we can prevent gun violence and save lives.

As the only Gen Z candidate on our local ballot, I’m disheartened by the continued vandalism of my campaign signs. Nevertheless, we persist. My heart remains grateful for the outpouring of support I’ve received thus far. That carries me through each day. Thank you. 💚 zyahnabryantforccs.com

It is very striking that the principal argument for the Republican candidate in this race appears to be anti-trans panic. It is a very sad statement about the state of the modern Republican Party.

The community speaks up and gets results.

A great opportunity to learn about the local races!

True.

Useful information!!

This Saturday, Sept 27th, the Cville Dems, with the UVA Dems and VA Young Dems, will be going to Blacksburg to knock doors for Lily Franklin. We will leave Cville at 7:30am, start door knocking at 10am, finish canvasing around 1-2pm, get lunch and then arrive back in Cville around 5:30pm.

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

This is absolutely a crime in the United States, and clearly an impeachable offense.

Cville Dems are neutral in primary contests, but we love to pass on information about the campaigns, and it’s especially fun and interesting when candidates go on the road!

Great meeting with folks in Rustburg last week! Loved discussing how to invest in our communities in ways that balance opportunity with quality of life.

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!

Luke O'Neil is a very talented writer who understands the moment quite acutely. I spoke to him for @typebarmagazine.bsky.social recently! www.typebarmagazine.com/2025/08/29/o...

Just discovered the brutally concise, darkly funny, very short fiction of Luke O’Neil.

It’s giving “makes law abridging the freedom of the press”

Catastrophe.

Lots of people voting today (9/19) on the first day of early voting at 7th St., NE beside the downtown mall! Here’s the Zyahna Bryant campaign, ready to greet you and make their pitch with a smile! Remember, for all of our campaigns, earlier voting is better. Have a great Friday!

This is the part of the play where the whiny little tyrant starts locking up comedians for making fun of him.

is this bad?

A class act. Thank you.

Doesn’t our town have the *nicest* school board elections of anywhere?

Reminder: As soon as you vote, your name will be taken off of all canvass lists, so the campaigns will leave you alone! Voting early is a superpower.

Very useful discussion on the perils of using micro/cross-sectional parameter estimates in inferring the aggregate effects of policies/shocks. This is pervasive in Economics, yet the two effects can even have the opposite signs. (Example in next post.) voxdev.org/topic/method...

Honestly, 23% sounds high. Show of hands — who is in favor of affirmative action for right-wingers?

FYI. Democrats will keep the pressure on until election day.

Wait — you mean fomenting hatred against a tiny persecuted minority is *not* what the voters wanted??

Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.

Apropos of nothing.

I’m interested! #econsky

This was a good episode! And obviously a great appointment. #econsky

I know you are frightened. I know you have been losing heart. But I said it in January and I will say it again: We don't have be their sacrificial lambs. We can be their leaders. We can be their heroes.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Our republic is clearly in great danger.

As a community, let’s be clear that we reject this sort of conduct.

We have terrific candidates for our school board election, and I just wanted to put in a word for Dashad Cooper. He’s the only one of the candidates with whom I’ve worked, and his basic decency is clear to everyone who knows him. Great at listening, seeing all sides of an issue, calm and selfless.
