Virginia House of Delegates Passes Ranked Choice Voting Expansion -

"Richmond, Roanoke, Winchester, and Virginia Beach all elected mayors [...] in wide-field races with a winner who earned less than half the votes."

However Ranked Choice Voting requires a majority winner.

Gotta love dogs!🐕

In the women’s cross-country skiing team sprint qualification a dog ran onto the course & zoomed with 2 skiers across the finish line.

The good boy's sprint was caught by the photo finish camera.

Gollum is at the hospital for his 2nd surgery. The 1st reduced his pain & helped him trust in his body to walk again. A final step remains.

It will be less visible but a difference between partial relief & real change. Your support is needed.
Gollum is ready, are we?🙏🏼

According to internal emails obtained as part of a FOIA request, top ICE officials knew as early as March 2025 that officers were using dramatically more force against civilians and the targets of enforcement operations — months before federal officers shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
ICE officials knew use of force was rising well before Minneapolis shootings
Internal agency emails show a surge in reports of ICE officers using more force going back nearly a year, but DHS leadership did not see it as a concern to be addressed.
