Judge blocked it, but the appeal is already in process and it's unlikely the Virginia Supreme Court will strike down a measure the voters democratically passed on minor infractions. They've also struck down this judge's injunctions before in other cases. It's likely to be upheld.

If I ever forget on my posts, politely call me out on it. My brain is soup a lot of days but I recognize how important it is to users without the benefit of sight or of context. I will either delete/repost it with the alt text, or add a comment with it if it fits in the post character limit.

More info for the Palantir document...
Trump's latest budget is the culmination of 40 years of increasing social control in America.
Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private contractors, like the drone manufacturers Trump's sons are now major investors in.
All of this is absurd.

Every little bit helps. I'm rural and have limited options so there are a few I cannot dispose of, like Walmart, no matter how much I want to. But I keep it to a minimum, and buy thrift, used and local as much as I can. Do what you can, when you can. I proudly canceled my Amazon accounts recently. β
High speed electric rail would be WAY better. But no - profit over people means they won't make money off gas and oil and commercial flights.
This is how ridiculous the GOP is in 2026.
Still bored. So played with this meme....

One of the most telling pics of the year ... so far.
A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work theyβve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJβs indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
The Federal Book Ban Bill is moving forward into committee, and we have to stop it today!
If it advances, it would allow the Federal government to regulate books in your community.

Something we can all do to support our communities and our voting rights. A variety of roles for a variety of comfort levels, skills, or ability. No hero will swoop in and save our democracy, it's up to us.
You are correct. But don't engage with trolls. They latch on to one thing you said and then pretend they're omniscient when they're detached from the problem.
I live in this area. We do NOT need or want this crap here.
Southwest Minnesota board says no to proposed $4 billion data center complex The CEO of Geronimo Power says the company is looking at alternative options in other communities.
This is what we need more of!
Oh, thank goodness... We don't have the infrastructure out here for that, not by a longshot. I already have issues with water and power.
Oh, totally...
Not only that, for covid, masks were used to prevent other people or oneself from getting sick with a disease that was at the time unknown and had no treatment. ICEholes simply hide behind them to commit atrocities and avoid accountability. The two are complete opposites.
The FBI and the Department of Justice is prosecuting the Southern Poverty Law Center for paying informants to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups. Which is to say, Trump is attacking the enemies of the KKK.
This is so on the nose that I couldn't make it up and be believed.
IDF could care less except- this one act has the potential to get the entire Christo-whackjob maga movement to say F-Israel. news.sky.com/story/two-is...
This is the "we all die someday" bitch re: the slashing of poor/disabled/elderly people's healthcare last year. She can go sit on a cactus. π
When the Oval Office becomes a stock tip line, itβs corruption in plain sight. We must continue to sound the alarm. Head to the Substack page for everything you need to know: www.adamkinzinger.com/p/this-isnt-...
They hate democracy because they're bitter, unpopular people and no one listens to their stupid ideas unless they're forced to. So every time the popular opinion is expressed freely and it's overwhelmingly against them, they get mad and throw tantrums and break stuff. It's sad, really.
Of course he is. Probably has been for much longer than we're aware of, because he's a lifelong criminal. Needs his family line ended and his entire wealth used to compensate his victims, be they SA, financial, fraud, etc.
Nice way of putting it. Thank you.
That place with the lasers, I wasn't even annoyed. I relished taking each and every one apart for all the goodies. Took me like half an hour for this one hallway, but SO worth it. π
