81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Hey @kaine.senate.gov You should listen to what @aoc.bsky.social is saying here. I’m one of YOUR constituents, but SHE is doing a better job representing my interests.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Today I decided to say hi to @noahscalin.bsky.social when I was on my way to work. Totally forgetting that I had a motorcycle helmet and sun visor covering my face, was layered up in my heavy moto jacket, and was yelling hello from a scooter in the middle of the street. So… totally out of context.

Sometimes #communityradio is waking up at 2something on your 445day and not being able to fall back asleep because your brain is trying to work out how to merge excel spreadsheets so you get all the columns you need without having to manually reenter Fund Drive data.

To give you the scale of Virginia Dems House of Delegates victories
They didn’t even contest this seat in 2023 when they won a majority
Now they flip this district in Hampton Roads
Really worst case scenario for Virginia Republicans

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Coincidentally got the final coloring finished on my Mothra tattoo the day before Godzilla Day.
Now @onehitwanda.bsky.social & I officially have matching #Bestie tattoos. We’ll have to take some pics after my bandage is off.

Sometimes #communityradio is sharing grief & memories when a beloved DJ dies.
Bill Lupoletti brought global music to the Richmond airwaves & introduced WRIR.org to a wider international audience with his long running show #GlobalAGoGo. His death is a huge loss for our little radio family. 📻💜🌍

Hello fellow legal experts, I am at the Virginia Capitol in Richmond for today's special session. Behind me the front of the Capitol Building is closed because they are preparing for the inauguration in January. But the voters decide who gets sworn on November 4.
