Harrisonburg has witnessed the cruelty of ICE firsthand. Elect @bethmacy.bsky.social and let’s return to a humane immigration policy.
At last! When the former school board voted to abandon the confederate school names in 2020, old racists ran against them and won seats on the board. IMO - all in an effort to change the names back to the post Brown v Board confederate general's.

The wildfires in Ontario and Minnesota are a direct consequence of the high temperatures and low rainfall resulting from a major July heat dome event. A year ago we showed that these events had tripled in frequency due to human-caused warming: penntoday.upenn.edu/news/extreme...

AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating
Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?
Most people don't know the numbers...or understand the oligarchy of defense contractors/masters of war who devise new ways to destroy. This is why we can't have nice things.
JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?

Any Dem Senators going along with this madness should be sued for malpractice. This is an effort to make it very hard to vote for Dems. What kind of politician would support disenfranchising their base? Other than Fetterman....

Everyone is shitting on the Post for implying that Bad Bunny, from Puerto Rico, is a “immigrant,” not an American citizen. But WaPo is actually being honest about the Trumpist immigration agenda, for which dutifully if dully supports. The Trumpist agenda is white nationalist. /1
The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.

Thy are telling us exactly what they plan to do...
I have been warning for weeks the administration will do anything to get these records. They want to rig the midterms 🚨“The letter adds the state’s unwillingness to share voting data to a litany of grievances the Trump administration has leveled against Minnesota.”🚨

Why doesn't @repbencline.bsky.social remember?
Good that Rep. @joeneguse.bsky.social reminded everyone what Ben Cline said after 1/6/21: “Congress stands united in our rejection of the violence that occurred this week & I’ll continue to urge the swift prosecution of those involved to the fullest extent of the law” bluevirginia.us/2026/01/vide...

I also love America and believe in its stated values. And I understand that this pronouncement lands very differently when it comes from an organization that has intentionally been overhauled in order to curry favor with a jingoistic proto-fascist who says his opponents hate the country.
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor. One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”
Ghouls, all of them.
I'm told that HHS has just terminated all funding agreements with the American Academy of Pediatrics. Here's a letter HHS sent canceling one of the grants, relating to work on birth defects. Canceled because the project "emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion as key foundational components"
