Screenshot of a tweet by L. Louise Lucas discussing redistricting. Transcribed Text: I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1 2:08 PM · 1/16/26 · 1.5M Views

Virginia passed it's redistricting map. Louise Lucas spearheaded the effort, and developed the new map. It's worth remembering what she said when the two Senators for VA in Congress weighed in on the proposed map.

oh wow thanks. Some of those bedrooms must be in the upper. The floorplan is mystifying.

(Honestly, if they got all that living space out of those weird-ass dormers - I'm a function over form, girl - good for them.)

ngl, I would like to see the inside most desperately. Looks like they've created two convent cells up there.

Stay alert, Chicago.

the conservative reaction to the virginia results remind me quite a bit of their reaction to the 2012 presidential election, where they were offended that democrats ran to win

Beautiful year for crabapples; temps must have been just right.

I can get you from Balmora to Ald'ruhn, Suran, Vivec, or Seyda Neen by silt strider.

pete hegseth is so bad at his job that we're like one tick away from the gray zone being like "actually, pete hegseth is good, because he effectively stands against american imperialism"

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

It made me so happy to see a family use this rack I requested for the first time 🥹

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’ Lebanese health ministry says killing of 91 healthcare workers shows ‘total disregard’ for international law

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun.

And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene.

And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics.

And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

Happy Irish Census of 1926 Release Day to all who celebrate.

Reading old documents in archives is my bread and butter, but reading the 1926 Irish Free State census online and seeing the names of close relatives, some of whom I remember, is another experience! The census can be searched here: nationalarchives.ie/collections/...

We asked our bus operators from the 77th garage which route takes the most skill to drive, and which route is their favorite.
Here’s what they had to say 💬

Feels important to uplift Rep Pressley's leadership. She puts in a lot of work on issues that others often don't see as a priority. I've appreciated her anti-criminalization work over the years. She's a worker.

THE HOUSE JUST VOTED TO EXTENDED TPS FOR HAITI!!! Thank you, Rep. Ayanna Pressley for your leadership on this. Proud to help co-lead this effort for our Haitian brothers, sisters, and siblings. What a day.

I will go T-Rex. Look, she's the girl girl girl with big bite and silly little arms.

But for a specimen, as many others have pointed out, ankylosaurus is also a very good dinosaur.

If you kill yourself trying to complete a job that's too difficult for you, it's nobody's fault but your own.

I've got some tomato seedlings that are worn tf out.

Please. What if 'April showers' could just knock it off for a couple days.

I've watched the light leave a man's eyes trying to fight a city sticker late fee because he didn't move here on the date his lease started.

Let's see JD Vance spend one day at the Buildings and Water Department without tears. Go meet the biggest guy you ever met called Gary and report back, pal.

My guy got four mice out from under ours.

The last one, I got it (alive) out of his jaws and took it to the corner of the yard. I whispered, "tell your friends" to it, and set it down. We never had another mouse again. Don't know if the magic can work twice, but the technique is yours if you want.

BREAKING: I took to the House floor to force a vote on extending Temporary Protected Status for Haiti.

We won the first important vote in this process, and now we're a step closer to getting this done.

The House must move with urgency and pass this legislation without delay.
