Yup this UVA Bonnycastle dorm 1975
In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

we have got to destroy ICE and salt the earth
I will not vote for any federal candidate who doesn’t vow to abolish ICE
I will not vote for any state or local candidate who doesn’t agree to fight ICE

I refuse to believe politicians are forgetting how rancid MTG is. Sure we can have a big tent but we do not need to welcome someone like her. Please everyone get a fucking hold of yourselves.

If those creeps could pull a Dragas on Ryan, what's the Governor and General Assembly going to do to prevent this in the future? I'm no Ryan simp, but the institution should have better rails.

Reading this thread tells me why Spanberger lobbed a grenade so quickly. Whee this it gonne be 🔥
Jim Ryan wrote a letter to UVA detailing his "resignation" and I'm gonna get some fresh tea before I read it because I feel pretty certain I'm gonna be filled with righteous anger by the end
I'll do a thread but here's the full letter provided by the chronicle

Why are we accepting this?
I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

Thread. It's all appalling and in no way surprising.
A convicted felon who had also been found liable for sexual assault and committed additional crimes in plain sight was close with a notorious child sex trafficker and likely participated in some of those crimes too got elected with much of that known and spent his presidency railing against “crime.”

As it should be.
Governor Elect Spanberger advises the UVA BOV to pause selection of a new President until they have a Board approved by the General Assembly. A good and fair call.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should.
Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.
Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

Yeehaw lets go
this is genuinely wild
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.

I'm up for a celebration. Bring on the balloons!
Hey, Virginia! I voted, and you should, too. Celebrate the end of the Youngkin era and the beginning of something better for our state. You've got a couple of hours left to cast your vote. Plenty of time, but go now if you can...

I'm spreading good in my neighborhood. Everything helps.
I am 64 years old and FOR MOST OF MY LIFE two things were true:
- fascists were trying to take over the USA
- we were beating them
Those creeps are beatable. We beat them for decades. In the 30s they tried a form of MAGA and US beat them. The 50s? McCarthy purges. US beat them.
Do. Not. Doom.

The evangelicals won't care. They handle snakes on a daily basis so who gives a rip about anyone else.
Important subtext: Hard to oversell how rare this precise Christian coalition is, and how unusually defiant this letter they're signing is.
NEW: 200+ Chicago-area clergy — Protestants, Catholics, and evangelicals — have signed a letter decrying ICE's efforts and voicing a willingness to put their "bodies on the line" for migrants.
"What Kristi Noem and her ICE agents are doing is immoral," they write. religionnews.com/2025/10/21/a...
