Everyone knows the way you change the Constitution is to have six people in robes make up a new Constitution as they go along.

WE FREAKING WON!!!!

All right, Virginia. If you haven't voted YES yet, you know what to do. 👇

As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

In Virginia?

Vote YES on Tuesday.

My deep condolences to Senator Warner and his family. As a mother of a son with juvenile/type 1 diabetes, I can't imagine their pain and devastation. May Madison's memory be a blessing.

We filed suit against the Trump administration (again) today to block the implementation of an unlawful executive order that seeks to undermine inclusion & equal opportunity, threatens government contractors w/ criminal prosecution, & chills protected speech.

These are not normal times.

If you ever wanted a clear picture of how tired a movement MAGA has become, look no further than these shots of the aging, pot-bellied Bannon and the weak audience he draws trying to block Virginia redistricting

So many empty seats at the Hanover Republican/Steve Banon show yesterday!

Hanover is the largest majority-Repub county in VA w/some of the most extreme MAGA.

But it's only 60/40 & we Hanover Dems are chipping away at that majority, and more & more here are leaving MAGA behind for something better.

House advances bill to shield Haitian immigrants in defiance of Trump Six Republicans joined Democrats in forcing a vote to restore Temporary Protected Status for refugees from the Caribbean country.

Small victories, small victories.

"The House voted Wednesday to advance a measure that would reinstate temporary protections for Haitians living in the U.S., with six Republicans voting alongside Democrats to oppose a key component of President Donald Trump's immigration policy."

“The school system reserves the right to cancel an approved activity at any time.” Certainly, someone who made use of Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking services and who is a white nationalist should be deemed "undesirable patronage."

UPDATE: 1. This event is NOT on the community use calendar for Hanover County Public Schools or for facilities rentals, as other scheduled events & rentals normally are. 2. The school facility use policy indicates that any event that might attract undesirable patronage shall be denied.

Orbán’s Ouster Doesn’t Prove His Critics Wrong Many dictatorships have ended peacefully, so the end of Orbán’s rule in Hungary isn’t proof he was never really taking the country in an authoritarian direction, writes James Kirchick.

Polish communism was also defeated, in the end, by an election.

Steve Banon doesn't seem like someone that Hanover Schools should help bring to our community and public schools.

Hanover, please contact your School Board members and let them know that white nationalists sympathetic to neo Nazis have no place in our schools.

Serious question: Are Hanover County Public Schools allowed to say no to hosting Hanover Republican Committee rallies that feature white nationalists? And someone sympathetic to neo Nazis who participated in efforts to overthrow the government on January 6th 2021?

Trump administration agrees to return rainbow Pride flag to New York’s Stonewall monument The Trump administration has agreed to keep flying a rainbow Pride flag on a federal flagpole at the Stonewall National Monument, reversing course after removing the banner in February.

Thank you to tbe advocates who won this small victory.

Made my day.

Small victories such as these are super important.

Orban, Beacon to the Right, Concedes Defeat in Hungary’s Election

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great news that MAGA in Hungary was defeated.

I had fun with my Hanover County Democratic Committee peeps today at our Super Saturday Vote YES picnic up at the Hanover Early Voting Center.

Lots of people came out to Vote YES and build community with us!

Here we fixed this for you, @wsj.com

We see you trying to help JD pretend he doesn’t have to wear this war when he runs for president. Nope.

Hey Hanover Voters,

If you happen to get a text from "Rachel" telling you to vote no on the redistricting constitutional amendment, that is NOT from me.

I think you should definitely vote YES on the redistricting constitutional amendment, as soon as possible if you haven't already.

Because of Republicans' Big Bad Bill "more than 51k preventable deaths could occur annually b/c of Medicaid cuts & ACA coverage rollbacks....when ACA coverage losses & the repeal of nursing home staffing requirements are factored in. That's more Americans than die each year in car accidents."

Another reason to Vote YES on the redistricting constitutional amendment in Virginia: To save people's lives, and healthcare.

I have never seen this much #blue in the state of #Wisconsin
Sheboygan (blue collar, #manufacturing Trump +16) is blue
The biggest swing was Crawford county, #rural on #Minnesota border- Trump +14 to Taylor (Dem) +22 - a 36 point swing left

I think white working class is not buying it anymore
