Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
Me, being left behind…❤️
Some folks may have missed this news in all of the commotion over redistricting. We Virginians have now joined the electoral college compact!
10-1 with the zero the seal of the Virginia state flag
Fighting back feels good. Winning feels even better!
Have you seen the video of the creation of wall drawing 686?
youtu.be/erx0mrmOMUo?...
I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals
💀
I think of my new district as the Exit 118B District—a district so absurd that it includes both UVa and Virginia Tech, each of which are reached via exit 118B from their respective highways.
Some more good news!
Images not rendering right now are actually such an incredible use case for ALT text and a great way to experience what it’s like to want to participate while not being able to see.
If Darth hadn’t included ALT you’d have no idea what this was.
Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

I’m off to vote YES this morning.
Just a reminder for those who might be mad about that: We’re only here because Trump decided that gerrymandering FL and TX was a good idea.
To pararphrase the queen, state Senator Louise Lucas, we didn’t start this, but we’ll sure as hell finish it.
Today is our day Virginia!!!!
Polls open until 7pm.
VOTE YES!
Time to VOTE YES!!
And if you know any young people WHO WILL BE 18 BEFORE NOV 3 — please tell them they are eligible to vote today! Same-day registration is an option in VA — they just need to get to their polling place!
🗳️Today’s the day, friends! If you haven’t voted YES yet, vote at your polling place. And remember, Virginia has same-day voter registration!!🗳️
Definitely with Bond.
There is always a new woman, maybe two.
And always a plane to jump out of, maybe two.
Rob Wittman, Jen Kiggans, Ben Cline and the crazy weirdo whose name I can never remember all have spent their time in Congress protecting Trump instead of standing up for their Virginia constituents under attack. On Tuesday you can vote YES and bring them all home together. BYE!
I want to point out again that Jared Kushner has no official role in our government and should not be sitting at the negotiation table representing the USA.
Me, but with the Mission Impossible movies

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
Was on the Downtown Mall yesterday — enjoying the outdoor markets, voting, a free Dead-inspired concert — and it was noticeable pleasant that the vehicle crossings were closed. Question: might their two-month closure reveal the mall experience is better without them? Pay attention and report back!
Cville folks, I have found a small number of incandescent light bulbs stashed in our pantry. We don't use them -- anyone here want them or know what I could do with them?
I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.
WE Pay for
Waking up to gentle rain was delightful. My garden needs it.
Good luck!
Well, that was disappointingly brief.
