I often say if we can’t figure out how to get to a more just and equitable future for everyone here in Charlottesville where can we? I’m grateful for @emily.gorcen.ski and many others working towards that aspiration

Dark comedy, but even for the multitudes who are not Comey fans, this is great news.

More evidence of the weakness of the paper-tiger fascist regime now squatting in the White House.

Spotlight on "this deep blue dot in the red sea of western Virginia" that I call home.
Beth Macy wrote the definitive account of the opioid epidemic, and she is everything JD Vance pretends to be.

She's also one of the millions of Americans stepping up to do more than she expected, because democracy is on the line.

Now she's running for Congress.

This is hilarious. Mr. Reid, who wanted to be our Lt. Governor, thinks it’s a SCANDAL that Gov. Spanberger will appoint members of her administration, and expect the GA to confirm them.

It’s a SCANDAL, you hear?? (Not as good as Reid’s own Nazi porn scandal, but still a SCANDAL!!)
First of all, what's wrong (let alone "corrupt" or "outrageous political abuse") about a governor appointing people and wanting to see them confirmed? Second, what's a "crass northern state" and what does that have to do with anything? bluevirginia.us/2025/11/sund...

Well put. The agreement this week was a very bitter pill.
Two billion kids would REALLY appreciate it if we did more about this than just make a few non-binding promises every year & then instantly forget about them.

McFadden has used the aliases Shiloh Mathis, Frank Hargrave, and Miles Bakari, and has spent time in Baltimore, Joppa, Md., Lake City, S.C., Columbia, S.C., Atlanta, New York City, Rochester, N.Y, and Los Angeles. If you know anything: Detective Cundiff 434-996-5875 or [email protected].
This is major. If you know anything about Shiloh/Erik's whereabouts for the last 13 years, please contact the Charlottesville Police Department.

This is an excellent conversation to have.
In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

Today I'm especially remembering Sage Smith, a former student, who was last seen exactly 13 years ago today.
