Woodstock, VA, No Kings event in Shenandoah County. If you know, you know!

Update: www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

Well, NC midterms just got a little more interesting. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We went yesterday and today-great event this year.

NEA Lock Out Day 12-We remain locked out. My colleagues in Campaigns & Elections are getting even more frustrated. As I said Sunday: "What a time to be alive and NOT actually working in politics." This is unsustainable and our health insurance expires July 31. This is NOT union values.

Lockout Day 6. Fun fact. Unlike many employers, the NEA does not offer annual COLAs. Our last contract didn’t keep up normal inflation, much less what we ended experiencing. Our ask is 4% for each year of our 3 year contract. Essentially, we’re asking for a COLA.

Hello BlueSky friends. If you haven’t heard, the US’s largest union has Locked Out its staff union. Learn more at: neasomatters.org/dontcross

My southern Democratic uncle is blathering on about states’ rights and my Republican brother in law keeps talking about abolition and progressive policy.

Wait. I thought Council didn’t engage with the public on ZFH according to CLA…

Bonus Detroit sunset @sarahbagley.bsky.social

Is the CLA poll released yet?

People are often confused when they *think* their numbers are private. Pollsters use all sorts of data sources to contact voters. And if you use your phone number with your voter registration, it’s in the public record.

Wrong state, but across from the Detroit Christmas village is the Griswold.

@alexpitchbot.bsky.social Alexandria has perfected its bond ratings why that’s bad for your property value and how zoning changes will reduce them to junk bonds.

@beckyhammer.bsky.social Have you gotten the text to poll yet on Zoning for Housing?

The number of kid that have never seen the “remove half your finger trick using your thumb” as a trick makes me worry about today’s Dads. #HappyHalloween

Not a union bug to be found tells me all I need to know about these folks.

Word of advice to the parents out there: Advise your children to NOT put Orbeez in their ears and let them know they have ear canals…

Maybe an unpopular opinion…The Potomac Yard station, while pretty, is a horrible station.

College field hockey ✅ Volleyball service proj baseball ✅ Skip Hogs losing at home ✅ ACHS homecoming shoe shopping ✅ Eating ❌ Busy Saturday.

Memo to Jim Jordan: youtu.be/Xb6F6kIqlxw?...

A quick AC Titans girl’s volleyball 🧵- Congratulations to the freshmen and varsity girls for big wins against a tough conference opponent West Springfield tonight. JV fell short tonight, but this team is loaded with talent. Varsity and freshmen end the season with an 11-5 record. 1/

Alexandria eaters, this is for you. You’ve seen the secret menu items for fast food chains. What’s your favorite secret menu items for locally owned spots? I’ll go first: Holy Cow Crazy “Tots” - ask for any Crazy Fries menu items be made with tots. What’s your secret menu favorites in the ALX?

Behind on this: AC Titans freshmen girl’s volleyball won a battle on the road with Lake Braddock 2-1 avenging an earlier conference loss at home. They improved to 9-5 on the season. #GoTitans

This really deserves a lot more likes.

Nice win for the AC Titans freshmen girl’s volleyball team against conference rival West Potomac in 3 sets tonight. It’s amazing to see how both teams have grown since their tilt back in August. #GoTitans

@cfidd.bsky.social how are we feeling about tonight’s game? #GoHogs

Nice wins by both AC Titans JV and Freshmen girls volleyball teams. JV won in 2, and Freshmen came from behind to win in 3. Varsity up 18-7 in the first set. #GoTitans

And a reminder that you can vote early in VA legislative elections now!

That’s about 27 Scaramuccis by my estimate.

Re-upping this. Still looking for our Mr/Mrs/Ms Miyagi of volleyball.

Calling all Alexandria skeeters: Need to link up with an experienced volleyball player (former college player would be great) to help us with serving. Thanks in advance.

I’m okay. Has anyone checked on @cfidd.bsky.social ? #Razorbacks

Update: AC Titans varsity volleyball girls win in 5 against a very good Fairfax High varsity squad. Well done Titans! #GoTitans

Nice wins by the AC Titans JV and Freshmen girl’s volleyball teams against conference opponent Fairfax High! #GoTitans

Nominating this phenomenon for @beckyhammer.bsky.social to use in a hearing to make GOP policymakers blow their minds. Also, maybe something @justindotnet.bsky.social can fix when that huge hole in the ground is finished. www.nbcnews.com/science/scie...

Thrilling come from behind win by the AC Titans freshmen girl’s volleyball team on the road at West Springfield! Tied at 14 in the final match, and they took home the victory 16-14. #GoTitans!

Thinking about how local schools shut down weekend activities for this “very bad” tropical storm. In Houston, this is a day that ends in y. But, here and in Houston, it would be paralyzed by an inch of snow. In Minnesota, they’ll take 6 inches of snow and keep on trucking.

I’ll take a 3 point lead against LSU at the half. How about you @cfidd.bsky.social ?

Great to organically and cycling and pedistrianing seeing @beckyhammer.bsky.social @oconnell.bsky.social and @jsands.bsky.social tonight! Great start for this community. See everyone at the Sunday town hall after the Saturday downpours. Or not. We’ll see.

Can confirm.

It burns this city…

Come for the woke lawn complaints at a Sunday city town hall and stay for the the first library sit in right here in the Port City. …maybe I’ll pitch them on the first integration of a city swimming pool by one of the people who did it…

Dominant wins tonight by the AC Titans JV and Freshmen girl’s volleyball teams against conference opponent South County! Love to see it!

Dominant win tonight by the AC Titans JV volleyball team. Freshmen squad pulled of a thrilling come from behind win in 3 over Robinson. Varsity women starting now. #GoTitans
