Hey you. Yes, you. I know life can be overwhelming. Stressful. Painful. Before you decide that it's too much, do me a favor. Call a friend. A relative. Someone. And if you don't feel like sharing with a person you know...call this number in your country. blog.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotl...

Make him do it. Veto a minimum wage bill. An anti-corruption bill. An end the war bill. A stop ICE bill. A save medicaid bill. A lower prices bill. Make him veto everything people want. Create the contrast, electoralize it, win in '28, and then make it all law in '29. cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_ful...

Good ole Ragtime (#Arlington, VA). I've been here a bazillion times and I'm never disappointed.

Calls to Replace Jeffries and Schumer Explode After Democratic Wins

Are Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer really ready to lead Democrats in this moment?

trib.al

Occasionally Warner can do the right thing! Unless this is just talk...

Senator Mark Warner@markwarner.bsky.social · yesterday

Virginia did the right thing this week and strengthened protections for reproductive freedom across the Commonwealth. Let’s build on that progress and restore Roe at the federal level.

I am bored and should be working but I don't wanna.

Republicans set to transfer power over to Democratic governors have also been facing calls to kneecap their successors — but it appears the scale of Tuesday’s blue wave has made such actions politically untenable. www.washingtonsun.com/national/rep...

I absolutely love this. Women and Black people are always held to performative forgiveness of unforgivable behavior even when no one has bothered to ask forgiveness! Refusal. It's a politic an ethic.

Q: I’m told that Vivek Ramaswamy left you a congratulatory phone call. Have the two of you spoken? Governor-elect Amy Acton: We can’t normalize behavior like this. It was so beyond the pale, so no, I have no intention of speaking to him. Leaders’ words matter and we need to hold folks accountable.

my dad knelt down and looked me in the eye and told me something that has always stuck with me, and i remember word for word. he said 'son, you can be anything you want.' love you dad

A 1987 Ford Escort, mostly. My parents had stick shifts and my first car was an automatic - deliberate, so I wouldn't borrow theirs - then someone ran a stop sign and my car was totaled. I bought the Escort. I had a lesson or two in my dad's pick-up truck first but almost all in the Escort.

QOTD: What car did you learn to drive a manual transmission in? I learned in a friend’s 1987 Chevy Spectrum.

Oh fun, the ceiling in the garage is drizzling water!

Making red sauce for the first time this season. The Baker Farms Italian sausage is awesome. This might be my best batch yet. Excited to see how it does with bucatini as I usually do penne.

I think I have become a Silversun Pickups fan.

Virginia’s governor burrowing deep under Elon Musk’s skin? Makes me happy to pay my state taxes this year!

Brunch at The Sovereign was great! A nice walk to get there from Clarendon then a short ride home. We walked around the corner to make it easier for our Uber driver but then he just picked us up back in front of the alley to the restaurant.

Almost time to walk to Georgetown and brunch at The Sovereign. Looking forward to renewing my acquaintance with some Belgian beers.

I'm giving out full size candy bars this year, like last year. I never got one as a kid and I love seeing the look in their eyes when they realize
