How many school shootings did we witness as the 2A lost there shit as we tried to stop it. But now, possessing a firearm while filming is a death sentence. Unfucking believable.

they’ve really landed on killing civilians is necessary to enforce the voting rights act
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

Just saw the video. And it’s horrifying. Congress must do its job.
BlueSky won’t let me share the video, but you can see one of the ICE agents rip a gun out of this man’s waistband *before* the shooting starts.
From this angle, it’s hard to see how this was anything but an execution, unless simply carrying a gun is now illegal in America.

Stronger bill this year from @russetperry.bsky.social (SB794) prohibiting extradition (and also investigation or assisting with an investigation) for obtaining healthcare that is legal in Virginia. Not just for abortion, although that was the original impetus.

Every day, I grow more confident that MAGA leaders inherently don't like their base. And they intentially misinform them to hide the fact that they are actually protecting themselves. That's why they tell you college is no longer worth it while sending their OWN kids to college.
The fact that the online Right are all freaking out about a number that they got to by *checks notes* adding up all the percentages of proposed legislation for *checks notes* income earners over $500K or $1M a year is so incredibly funny and shows how deeply unserious they are.

When I hear folks defend ICE by saying "look, the country voted for this," I'm reminded that what's so great about our Democarcy is that it's a living, breathing body. It's able to respond to horrific behavior, not always, but in the right circumsances. And, no, most Americans did not vote for this.

Oh, now they care about the law?
Dems might use trifecta to deal with GOP legal challenge to redistricting
GOP did forum shopping by filing lawsuit in deep red county
Dems may try to move it to Richmond
But VA Supreme Court might get final say
Realistically GOP going all in on legal issue bc politics tough

There's a clever floor substitute to the enabling legislation for the redistricting amendment on LIS now that adds a provision that the only venue (for related lawsuits, incl. moving those underway) is the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond (presumably a friendly court).

GOP's preferred language: Is Trump a great president. Or is he the greatest president of all time?
Proposed date for Virginia redistricting referendum is April 21
Proposed language of the question is below
GOP will not be happy with how question is phrased
3 months to run a campaign if Dems plan doesn’t hit any obstacles
