This week, Gov. Abigail Spanberger of Virginia signed a bill that ends state tax exemptions for several Confederate organizations, putting a stop to more than 75 years of state support for efforts to romanticize slavery and glorify the Confederacy.
Wow. To hear a Catholic priest make the connection from the Trump administration to “white Christian nationalism” is 🔥
But let’s not pretend this is new. Christianity was used to justify slavery, and now the right uses Christianity to justify racism.
I appreciate a priest saying it out loud.
Anyway, our public libraries deserve more support. Let's fight to ensure they receive what they need to pay library workers fairly, to do the necessary capital repairs/upgrades, and to afford lots of books and other resources, and to offer programming.
Good night everyone. #NationalLibraryWeek
New Weather West post out this evening: "Unusually active April weather pattern to continue this week, and possibly beyond, as subtropical northeastern Pacific waters reach record warmth."

We elected you to Congress to be a check on executive power, not a spectator.
You swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not to protect a man who threatens democracy, threatens war, and threatens the future.
Stop hiding behind voters.
Stop punting responsibility.
DO YOUR JOBS.👇
If you can automatically register people for the draft, then you can automatically register people to vote. www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...
Yes, should be noted that when Vance joins Kushner and Witkoff he is not joining a team of negotiators but a pair of war profiteers.
One step further: it should be unthinkable that we would register people for the draft without first making sure that they are registered to vote. And indeed: it makes no sense generally to hold elections without making every effort to make it as easy as possible to vote! That’s what democracies do.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has signed a decree establishing Universal Healthcare for all Mexican citizens.
The United States could’ve had this, but people chose economic collapse, cruelty and death instead. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.
The Washington Post is beyond repair. We need to build independent pro-democracy media that doesn't equate Donald Trump's pathological lies with Joe Biden.
You can start with subscribing to Democracy Docket. I built it to have only one side -- the truth. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
The U.S. Supreme Court is going to “kill” Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), said former Vice President Kamala Harris today at the National Action Network (NAN) convention in New York. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Stunning!! Threatening the Pope? What happened to this administration’s respect for Christianty? newrepublic.com/post/208820/...
Awful! Politicians need to stop prescribing how teachers teach.
Kids aren’t for everyone, and folks need to stop acting like there’s something wrong with that.
Honestly, with everything going to hell right now, I’m not sure my wife and I would choose to raise a family if we were starting out today. Props to this queen.
You could have had free universal healthcare this entire time. The money was always there.
The Artemis II crew just gave us an 80's sitcom intro and it's absolutely hilarious! Freeze frames, cheesy grins, theme song energy. These are the four humans who are about to around the Moon. NASA said fun and we are here for it!
AI can be a powerful tool, but when it starts shaping how young people think, feel and relate to others, that’s a serious red flag. We need strong guardrails now to protect kids, not after the damage is done. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/04/t...
The state is majority blue in population. But unfortunately we have a jungle primary which means the top two, regardless of party make it to the general ballot.
Since we have so many Dems running, it spreads out the blue vote. So 2 Republicans in the general is a realistic possibility.
Democrats, we have a problem.
California is deep blue, but it is not safe blue.
⚠️ Jungle primary + crowded field = no guarantees a Democrat makes the general for governor. Not this time.
This is the most populous state with the biggest economy in the country. What happens here hits everywhere.
A major referendum coming up in Virginia — this one in November.
How about journalists who care about the First Amendment refuse to attend this dinner. Instead of be used as a prop by Trump, speak out.
If legacy media wants to know why it is in such rapid decline and not trusted, empty gesture like this is why.
I hate this with every fiber of my being. And having the students be the face/voice of it also is just so appalling when it's being pushed by corporate interests and when they don't even know what it is they're losing by having this foisted upon them.
The 25th amendment exists for a reason. This madman is the reason. This post is the reason.
@SpeakerJohnson and @LeaderJohnThune, call Congress back into session today. Do your fucking jobs and defend America from this demented and deranged lunatic.
This would be followed by immediate articles of impeachment and a call for removal. Doesn't matter if "you don't have the votes." You UNIFY YOUR PARTY and you put it at the feet of the other party.
An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.
