Trump pressured Republican states to rig their electoral maps, because he saw a midterm disaster coming for his party. He knows they will lose big without rigged districts. Virginia can level the playing field and stop his newest scam tomorrow by voting YES for fair election maps. #VoteYesVirginia
Politicians shouldn’t pick their voters. We should pick our politicians. 🗺️
TOMORROW, April 21, 6am–7pm, fix this rigged system. Vote YES for elections that actually represent all of us—Black, brown, rural, urban, everybody.
We, the people have the power!
#VoteYesVirginia
A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑
If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!
Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding

Nothing proves how capitalism has brain rotted everyone than thinking the post office, hospitals, public transit, libraries, etc. need to turn a profit to be worthwhile.
This is a war based on lies

The stakes couldn't be higher.
BREAKING: Donald Trump just boosted Democrats’ chances of taking the House.
He said the quiet part out loud, “fair elections” means he loses power.
That’s not a warning, that’s a confession.
Republicans know they are about to lose the House and are trying to give Big Oil its holy grail: legal immunity from any futures actions that would hold the industry responsible for the climate crisis it knowingly caused and is making worse every day.

A reminder:
What would say if I turned CPAC’s comments section into a 2000’s emo pop rock song 4 Virginia’s redistricting amendment?
Because I did. 💙
VOTE YES!
Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.

Rep. Pat Ryan: "The fact that the president did not understand that closing the strait would be the obvious and immediate leverage point for the Iranians just shows how out of depth they are in initiating this war."

Searing opinion from a federal judge on Long Island, who describes "police state"-like tactics by ICE to arrest peopleand draw up after-the-fact warrants.
He says DOJ is damaging its credibility with the courts by trying to shield ICE from scrutiny. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

On Tuesday, MPs will consider an amendment to enable local leaders to ban pavement parking in their area. We need you to help us get this amendment on to the Bill.

What do we want: safer streets!
When do we want them: now!
Weeklies generally depend on revenue from legal notices published by local governments. If they stop publishing, they lose those contracts for an extended period. It also handicaps new owners if relationships with advertisers and subscribers are interrupted.
Since the Seattle Times will likely oppose a local funding initiative for small media outlets when it goes on the ballot, it's noteworthy that their "save newspapers, but only newspapers" columnist is fine with an existing model where small papers' funding comes mostly from government ads.

It takes a minute and might make a difference.
Any action to ban pavement parking has to be a good thing.
Pavements are for pedestrians.
I have drums and a marimba. All easily portable.
