I’m not against canceling my subscription if there’s a wider call for a boycott. Let’s cancel this bitch.

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.

It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

About half of what it was going to cost to fully fund SNAP in November during the shutdown.

FYI for my fellow VA peeps. We’re the first state in the nation to offer this service. Valid at ABC stores and it was accepted on voting day. We had a man who had lost his wallet and was desperate to vote. We had him download the app and was authenticated and he voted!

Ah, fond memories of giving Dick Cheney the double bird most mornings as I walked to my job in Georgetown and he was on his way to the White House. These days I would have been arrested and disappeared for that.

Voting is very steady at my polling place in VA! With early voting we didn’t expect it to be this busy. We’re all really excited so many people are voting.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.
