My latest for Charlottesville Tomorrow on what I hope Charlottesville becomes in the next 20 years.
I spent seven years abroad going from city to city and watching how they embrace identity, history, and culture and see no reason why we can’t do the same.
It’s a big reason I came home.

She's been around the world over the last year — but came back to Charlottesville because she sees people ready to lead

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

i am willing to compromise by just insisting on prison terms for ICE employees. that is the moderate position.
if there's a reason to keep up the "tribunals for all involved" discourse one such reason it is to put in stark relief how far away some of the Dem politicking is from the mood on the ground
eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

Radaskiewicz-King was charged under hate crime statutes meant to deter violent symbolism such as nooses or swastikas--implying that a trans symbol is hateful or violent against Catholics. Those charges were dropped.
The judge denied her bail for 'public safety,' despite harming no human.
