@Jamunt @BreRVA Our country and city are in a housing crisis. More housing, built appropriately, is a good thing! youtu.be/pbQAr3K57WQ?si…

@Jamunt @BreRVA country — folks were forced to move.” The use of “luxury apartments” is loaded, for the reasons described in the video below. I think it’s also important to note that there are no “luxury apts” being built in Washington Park, tho there are SFHs being built on long-vacant lots.

I have some thoughts: 1) How does a chaos agent, former RPS board member become a voice on affordable housing when she railed against measures to ensure safe/stable housing for our students; 2) Sounds like she’s preparing to run for something else; and 3) Dist. 3 is doomed.

We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.

This is terrifying.

In the final stretch of Election Day and out with our amazing volunteer John in Ginter Park talking to voters

Go @gumbydotgov, go! Proud of you!

I’m very proud to have cast a vote for Ali Faruk, @MariaCarraRose, & @andreasrva! There’s a little over 2 hours left to get your vote in, if you haven’t already!

@gumbydotgov They know you’re going to advocate for safe & healthy streets!

Honored to have the support of the muppet community here on Sesame Street (My kids set this up!)

@vikkybhai1906 @big_pedestrian Let me Google that for you: 🙄 iihs.org/news/detail/ve…

I’ve been door knocking this year and these are all pictures of cars in local neighborhoods taken at eye level. I am an adult woman of average height. There is a reason kids aren’t allowed to roam anymore. A mistake from driver or child will have a catastrophic or lethal outcome.

@vikkybhai1906 @big_pedestrian They’re not actually accidents bc there’s so much data that points to the vehicle structure and weight as being causal.

@big_pedestrian Have these accidents actually gone up or down. What does data say.

@big_pedestrian I still make my 11 YO hold me hand in parking lots bc as a 5’8” mom I worry that neither of us will be seen.

@teevirus Wish I had a $100k down payment.

@roryf_RVA @united I’m United again, a little later. Maybe I’ll see you at DEN!

@MzFtz @united I'm flying back from Denver on the Southwest flight at 4:55 tomorrow if you happen to be on that one too...

Picture perfect view of downtown #RVA this morning from my @united flight to Denver!

@roryf_RVA @united Right?!

@MzFtz @united That's a crazy coincidence! Wish we had recognized each other!

I love this.
