The UDC statement here says that they are "grieved that certain hate groups have taken the Confederate flag and other symbols as their own" - as if the Confederate flag had ever not been a symbol of white supremacy.

Youngkin can't run for governor in 2025. He's possibly eyeing another office and wants to stay on the good side of Virginia racists.

ATTENTION ALL VIRGINIA RESIDENTS!!

Your governor is currently trying to pass updated student model policies that mean, basically:

All schools must require a written consent form from parents in order to use a different name/pronouns for their child, and students currently using different names and pronouns will be forcibly outed to their parents.

As you can imagine, this is a Living Hell for all trans students. HOWEVER: YOU CAN HELP THEM!

There is currently a 3 day comment period ending TOMORROW AT NOON. email [email protected] with comments AGAINST the policy!

They’re also meeting on december 19 at 10am (get there early- around 8:30 so you get a seat) in the Pocahontas Buidling Senate Room A (900 East Main Street, Richmond)

There are anti-trans organizations going to the committee meeting as well, show up if at all possible so you can, to show power in numbers.

YOU CAN HELP TO KEEP TRANSGENDER STUDENTS SAFE! PLEASE REBLOG AND SHARE THIS POST AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!

Abortion is the major issue in Virginia's state legislative elections on Tuesday.

Republicans control the governor's office and the House of Delegates – the lower chamber of the Virginia legislature. Democrats hold a narrow majority in the Senate – the upper chamber.

Virginia is the only state in the South which observes full reproductive freedom. GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin (AKA: Glenn Trumpkin) is pushing a measure to restrict abortion. Trumpkin has national ambitions and wants to re-enforce his hardline credentials by pandering to the MAGA crowd.

If Democrats do not end up with control of at least one chamber of the legislature after Tuesday's election then Virginia will join the rest of the South as a place where Republican officials have a virtual regulator in every OBGYN office in the state.

Legislative elections can be decided by very narrow margins. And the tightest race for the Virginia Senate seems to be the 24th Senate District where incumbent Democrat Monty Mason is fighting a challenge by Republican J.D. Diggs. In a Washington Post article about the race in the 24th district, Karen Tumulty reports...

Across Virginia, abortion has become the overriding issue on the airwaves for the Democrats, highlighted in more than 40 percent of their ads. Republicans are talking about it in only 3 percent of theirs, according to the tracking firm AdImpact. But Mason noted: “People bring it up to me. I don’t have to lead with it in a lot of places.” That is because Virginia is the last Southern state where the procedure has remained widely available after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. Abortion in Virginia is legal up to 26 weeks of gestation.

A vote in the Virginia legislative election is important anywhere in the state. But it's even more important in these swing districts.

^^^ those charts come from this excellent article at the UVA Center for Politics.

The Race for Virginia’s Legislature, Part Two

If you'd like to know which legislative districts you're in, in Virginia or ANY state, find out here.

Find Your Legislators Look your legislators up by address or use your current location.

There's statistical evidence that Virginia voters in the 18 to 29 group can swing an election.

In 2020, Democrat Joe Biden easily carried Virginia in the presidential election; voters 18 to 29 overall made up 14.6% of the Virginians who took part in that election. In 2021, Republican Glenn Youngkin/Trumpkin won the race for Virginia governor; 18 to 29 voters were just 9.1% of the Virginia voters in that election. (source)

VOTE! If you live outside Virginia but know people there, send them a quick message to remind them to vote.

There's no such thing as an unimportant election.

Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin just blocked a bill preventing police from seeking a person's menstrual history. This means police can use a search warrant to obtain information on AFAB people's time of the month.

From the January 18, 2024 column by Jonathan Martin:

Haley’s critics have even privately warned Trump that, were he to make Haley first in line to the presidency, he’d effectively be setting himself up for an intra-party coup, as GOP senators would use any legal or political pretext to remove him from office and elevate the more old guard-aligned Haley.

...

“Nikki Haley wants to be in every war the world has to offer,” said Donald Trump Jr., vowing that with his father as president again America will not send the “next generation to die in yet another never-ending war.”

...

To the old hands in Trump’s orbit, elevating Haley would be an even more significant blow than the Mike Pence pick in 2016.

...

What is certain are the Trumpian attributes he’ll be looking for, namely loyalty, having what he calls “the look” and that sweet spot between having just enough talent to impress him but not so much to overshadow him.

...

He wants fealty but not crazy. And it’s easier to detect the downside, why somebody won’t be picked, than to find the perfect candidate.

There are, though, some play-it-safe prospects. North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, who endorsed Trump before Iowa, would be on that list, and he’s helped because he also has another trait the former president admires: wealth. Sens. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), and former HUD Secretary Ben Carson, would be in the same category. Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) may also be in that same bloc, but it’s not clear how much either wants the job and both held out from endorsing Trump for long enough to be noticed, particularly in the case of Sanders.

ID: a screenshot of a short essay with text reading:

“We Don’t Deserve To Be Demonized

To the editor:

We all know about the anti-trans legislation being pushed by Youngkin. This is for the supporters, for everyone who isn’t sure or just doesn’t care:

You can ignore it but there’s bigotry in Virginia and from your support or inaction, you’re stoking the flames. I’m one of the many trans teens in Virginia and this legislation is just another sign not only are our rights in danger all over the world but in my state.

This legislation isn’t going to save anyone. It won’t protect children from sexual assault or keep the “perverted trans kids” away from your kids. The only thing it’s guaranteed to do is kill trans people.

Whether at the hands of bigots encouraged by the hysteria or even at our own hands in our desperation to escape this hell it’s creating, this legislation will kill us. But we’re not disappearing. Genocide has never eradicated queer people and never will. If it could, don’t you think we’d be gone already? You think your legislation can do what lynches and beatings couldn’t?

We’re not staying silent. We’re not monsters. We don’t deserve to be demonized just because you don’t understand our identities. You’re trying to control us as if you’ll manage what your bigoted predecessors failed but we all know things are changing. Even ACPS is pushing back.

Let me be clear: each death of a trans person following this legislation is murder. Each of you who write this legislation, each of you who claim neutrality or quietly agree, are all complicit in that. But if there’s one thing that I can guarantee about all of this, it’s that no matter what you do, from hate crimes to rallies to legislation, we will never disappear.

Our existence is not your decision.”

In last year's off-off year election, Democrats flipped the House of Delegates – the lower chamber of the Virginia legislature and held on to the Virginia Senate. This was contrary to the predictions of various pundits. ProTip: When you vote, you win.

One result of the Democratic takeover of the House of Delegates was the election of Virginia's first ever African American speaker of that chamber.

The Virginia General Assembly unanimously elected Democrat Don Scott as house speaker on Wednesday, making him the first Black speaker in the Virginia House of Delegates' history. Del. Scott approached the podium to cheers and a standing ovation as he took the oath of office and began his term as the leader of the House. "My first immediate emotion is just gratitude. I'm very grateful," said Scott, tearing up as he thanked his 88 year old mother and his wife, watching from the gallery. "The historic nature of this moment is not lost on me," he told the House. "I pray that it is a proud moment for all of us, as we nominate Delegate Don Scott as our next speaker of the house," said Del. Luke E. Torian in his nomination speech. "Over 400 years ago, people who looked like Delegate Scott gave their sweat blood and tears to build this Capitol," Del. Torian elaborated. "And I would say that is probably only right and fitting and appropriate that 400 years later, a person of color, an African American, whose ancestors helped to build this capital now stands to help lead this House of Delegates."

2023 was supposed to be a good year for Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin (AKA: Trumpkin) but the voters decided otherwise.

Early in 2022, Scott took on Gov. Glenn Youngkin after the Republican set up a "tipline" for Virginians to anonymously report educators for teaching so-called "divisive concepts" like Critical Race Theory. "What I've seen from his day one activities is not someone who is a man of faith, not a Christian, but someone who wants to divide the Commonwealth," Scott proclaimed to the Virginia House of Delegates, amid boos and jeers from the Republican side of the aisle. Scott took it in stride. "I know the truth hurts. I don't want to make you cry, like saying 'critical race theory,' because I know it hurts your feelings."

Youngkin is term limited and can't run in 2025. Hopefully there will soon be a Democratic trifecta in the Old Dominion state.

For now: Congratulations to Speaker Scott! 🎊
