The Marriage Equality Amendment will remove an outdated ban on same-sex marriage from our state constitution & ensure that every Virginia family has the same rights, protections, and dignity, no matter who they are or who they love. On November 3, vote YES! @lwvva.bsky.social @lwv.org

MacFarlane: People in Virginia voted by the millions. Their voices were heard and now have been silenced. And you want to talk about what starts a political wave in a year like this: a mass of people who think their voices have been silenced.
That doesn't stop a wave that fuels one.

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!

This level of greed is a serious mental disorder.
Jeff Bezos has $222 billion.
If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over.
And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

Collins has voted with Trump 96% of the time — the same rate as Mitch McConnell and two points above conservative Rand Paul. This is hardly the profile of someone looking to chart her own path. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...
Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections
When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Agreed. Please call your senators and tell them so.
Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
