VIRGINIA ORGANIZING'S STATEMENT ON GOVERNOR YOUNGKIN'S SUPPORT FOR DEPLOYING THE VA NATIONAL GUARD TO COOPERATE WITH I.C.E. ENFORCEMENT
We are disheartened that Governor Youngkin has expressed support for utilizing state resources to deploy the National Guard on behalf of I.C.E. activity. Although we are not surprised by his alignment with President Trump's position on the matter, we are discouraged by the lack of humanity that is shown toward our immigrant communities in Virginia.
This is not a service to his constituents.
Not only does using the Virginia National Guard imply an unnecessary threat of force, but experts have also deemed the move to be "unusual" since deploying the troops into communities is generally reserved for national emergencies, like natural disasters. Youngkin's support for this action speaks to his perspective of the immigrant and immigrant-descended communities he serves. If the governor is willing to use state resources to cooperate with the I.C.E. agenda, we must question what other measures will be taken that will put our communities at risk.
We deserve to feel safe in our own communities - all of us. Virginia Organizing is committed to empowering our communities to stand up for what is best for all Virginians, and to ensure that the needs of directly-affected members of our communities are met. We stand with our friends, families, and neighbors of immigrant communities by uplifting our voices to amplify the sound of those who feel unsafe to raise their own.
We hear you. We support you. We stand with you.

WHEATPASTINE GUIDE
WHEATPASTE RECIPE
Ingredients
• 1½ cup cornstarch
• 1 gallon of water (16 cups) + extra
• Half-batch: ½ cup cornstarch to 6 cups water
Instructions
MAKE CORNSTARCH STARTER: Measure 1½ cups of cornstarch into a bowl. Using a spoon, mix with enough room temperature water until you reach a smooth and thin soup consistency.
BOIL WATER: Put one gallon of water (16 cups) on the stove and bring to boil.
ADD STARTER: Once the water boils, turn off the heat and mix in the cornstarch starter. Add the starter slowly while stirring quickly with a whisk or fork. The starter should get incorporated into the entire gallon of hot water.
LET COOL: Once it is well-mixed, allow the mixture to cool. It will thicken as it cools.
This is your completed wheatpaste.
TRANSFER: Transfer your wheatpaste into containers with a lid for easy storage. It is easier to transfer your wheatpaste into containers while it's still warm, before it thickens completely.
STORE: In a sealed container in the refrigerator.
HOW TO PUT UP POSTERS
Supplies needed:
• Large paintbrush
• Container of wheatpaste
• Posters
• Scraper (optional)
• Paper towels and bottle of water to clean up (optional)

As a Tex-Pat, this makes me sad. I have fond memories from childhood of amazing nature preserves in Texas and along the border.

The reason that voting by mail is such a threat to minority rule is that A. It makes voting easy and B. It’s harder to intimidate voters going to a mailbox than having armed and masked goons at polling stations. The irony is he said that Putin advised this. Putin HATES democracy more than ANYTHING!

Trump is trying to end voting by mail. I’ve voted by mail in Arizona since 1991, 33 years. Eight other states have automatic mail in voting. There is nothing fraudulent about it and was put into place by Republicans and Republicans vote by mail too. This is the biggest lie ever.

Social media, by extension humanity, rewards hate over compassion. Blame it on “the algorithm” all you want but the purpose of that is to forward popular content and tho it may differ by platform it doesn’t matter for what is popular. Evil is interesting and good is boring so people favor evil… 🤷
