Today we vote yes, tomorrow we build people power. We want a democracy that actually works for working people, & we are organizing (with folks like @cvilledsa.bsky.social) to build it!

Fight back, vote yes. Why are we going to the polls to vote yes today? Step one in stopping this regime from kidnapping people. Polls are open until 7pm. Just turned 18? Just moved here from out of state? We have same day voter registration. Link to find polling location below.

Fight Back, Vote Yes! And holy cow, in the JJ district there’s already been 254 voters and it’s not even 10am 👀. I’ve never seen the number that high this early. 🤞🏻
Setting an excellent example!!
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.
I like the version from 2004:
“Don’t change horsemen mid-apocalypse!”
Tomorrow, Virginia votes to restore our Constitutional system of checks and balances. Vote yes, Virginia, and we can start to end the costly chaos in Washington.
I come from a military family, and it is WILD how we are told to support the troops, but not to actually listen to them.
It’s 4/20 and I’m getting excited for a big win tomorrow!
Motivation!!
Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli
If only Philip Andrew Hamilton was a little bit more prominent in their party he could be a candidate for that description.
A series of yard signs leading to a voter information tent in front of Tall Oaks Elementary School. Each yard sign reads: VOTE YES BY APRIL 21 TO STOP THE MAGA POWER GRAB.
Getting ready for the big vote at Tall Oaks Elementary School! Find your polling station at Iwillvote.com, and please vote tomorrow, Tuesday, April 21!
To all my fellow Virginians please vote a resounding YES tomorrow. This is a very important vote for our community and our democracy.
Under Trump, murder is one of our few growth industries.
Even if we tried very, very hard, we would not be able to express it better than this. PLEASE vote on Tuesday!
Barbara opened a shelter and rehabilitation center for women in Appalachia with profits from Copperhead . She is not only talented but also committed to helping people from the region .
The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.
Get excited.

16 years ago, Republicans gerrymandered Virginia, taking 8 out of 11 seats in the House of Representatives.
Tomorrow, Virginia voters will have the chance to combat Trump's gerrymandering efforts by voting YES on the referendum.
Very sincere condolences to the Warner family.
I reported earlier this year on how Charlottesville/Albemarle might respond if ICE rolled into town. The school district unfortunately can only exert some measure of control on school property. c-ville.com/how-local-go...
Terrible news.
“And another thing. I am not unqualified, dangerous, corrupt, or mentally unstable. Please don’t put in the newspaper that I am unqualified, dangerous, corrupt, or mentally unstable.”
There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.
communityengagement.substack.com/p/week-ahead-for-april-2... Budget drama! I’m happy to see the $1.1 million in pedestrian safety improvements. I have been singing that song for many years now. #cville #walkable #BudgetsAreValuesDocuments
If you haven’t voted yet- please make your plans for tomorrow for in person voting! Polls are open 6am- 7pm.
A YES vote will help Virginia and our country move forward from the disaster around us. Please let your voice and vote be counted!!

So when "conservatives" say that universities need to have more "viewpoint diversity" that take the worldviews of people like Ali Alexander seriously, what does that mean in terms of leading class discussions. "Today class we will be debating whether Trump was chosen by Christ or is the Antichrist."
Thank you, Matthew!
Remember, all: today (4/18) is the LAST day to vote early!
