Exec had to test out the online voting system somehow, and so we chose to vote on how often Nigel should wear the suit to meetings. He is being a good sport and abiding by the results of those votes!
Did I just have a stroke???
Sorry I missed the press conference but hope it went well! Hope to see you next time!!!
Ah, you should've grabbed me, I didn't know you were in town! I'm up in my office if you're still around! I can DM you my office number.
Thank you!!! 💕
We’re aiming for more volunteers next go round but that was the best we could put together this time! I not so humbly think we did a good job tho, I believe our last voter was finished by like 7:03 :)
It was fun seeing you today!
I promise there was a line all day at Beatley but I did my best to keep it moving!
There’s also now far more than two members of the LGBTQ+ caucus, and were even while Mark was in office!
I love Sandy and I know this is a joke, but there was no way 4,000 votes get counted in two hours by four people. One hour if you count ballot transport to count site.
And Sandy was part of the counting team!
With the writ being issued on Friday at 5pm, and needing to submit a candidate by today to the Board of Elections, there was exactly no chance of pulling off a weekend firehouse.
They are claiming we set the primary date to favor EBP so other candidates don’t have time to run campaigns. It’s nonsense. The timelines for special elections before/during session are set by state law, not the ADC. David Lord posted an excellent explainer of his page if anyone is able to share!
*since, lmao
Also Fairfax but Alexandria is in charge, so we have the highest proportion of precincts!
I’ve been on the “Fire Patullo” train since like Week 3, please let someone with a brain bring back our other Super Bowl winning coach!
I encourage you to spend your time in more constructive ways, such as actually pushing back on the verifiable actions the Trump administration is taking against immigrant populations instead of making up lies against people actually putting themselves out there in defiance.
I’m asking you. Your refusal to answer what proof you have to make accusations that our law enforcement is lying to us shows me that you have none. I am forced to conclude that you are making things up. This is not what is needed at this time.
I think it is important that those making these serious accusations be able to back them up with proof and examples so as not to stoke fear necessarily in our communities, so I ask again, are there cases of this happening around Alexandria that you can point to to back up these claims?
Sheriff Casey, & Mayor Gaskins for that matter, have forcefully denied cooperation with ICE or do any extraneous activity outside of what is required by law, & made themselves & Alexandria a target of the Governor & President because of it, so I'm still not clear on what you're referring to.
What proof do you have to back this up? This is not the first I’ve heard of this organization making this claim, and yet no one has ever heard you offer any evidence to substantiate it.
A basic google search will tell you that the Alexandria Sheriff’s office does not cooperate with ICE.

Definitely fuck, but at least a small glimmer of hope that we codified this rule in VA last year: legacylis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp...
Low lit art deco style bathroom that was also freakishly giant. Found in Tarbender’s Lounge, Leesburg Virginia.

Interesting bathroom alert? @martaschantz.bsky.social
I should be able to come!
Zero reason to choose this date unless you're trying to confuse voters and depress Democratic turnout in Fairfax in November btw
YOU'RE NOT FAR OFF BASE!!!!
It's a stretch of road out in Centreville where I work, nothing within city limits for those of us in ALX, but I think it's incredibly emblematic of endless public comment & over encumbrance of process. I knew things were bad on that front, but 13 years for a ½ mile road really got to me yesterday.
It should not take 13 years to improve safety and traffic conditions on a half mile stretch of road!!! WTF are we doing!!!!!!!
I'm 75% convinced that the reason people don't like things is because endless public comment periods give an illusion that people will get exactly what they want, & they're upset when that doesn't happen. If we just do stuff, people will probably like the outcomes because there are no expectations!
I just attended a VDOT briefing on a 1/2 mile road improvement that will take from 2017 to 2030 from first survey to completion, so this commentary on the public comment process is all too welcome. We shouldn't need 5 rounds of public comment on safety enhancements, we should hear from engineers!!!
