This is what happens when you give Democrats the power to act instead of in the minority parliamentary BULLSHIT!
The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session:
—protect abortion rights
—repeal the same-sex marriage ban
—allow mid-decade redistricting
—greatly expand voting rights restoration.
These will all go to 2026 referendums.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

It’s quite likely that being called a “fucking bitch” is one of the last things a dying Renee Good ever heard.
I demand leaders who are as filled with pure, diamond-hard rage over this as I am.
I believe this is absolutely not asking for too much.
