Mary Austin VOTED 4 HARRIS!Sen Tim Kaine of <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Virginia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Virginia</a> is forcing a Senate vote on these disastrous <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tariffs</a>, and four <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Republicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Republicans</a> are on board with re-asserting Congress' authority to set tariffs. With 4 Republicans it might pass, but even if it does, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> says he will veto it.It may not be the means of stopping this- that's a legal issue, which I'm not qualified to comment on.

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History April 2, 1863: Bread riots occurred in Richmond, Virginia, as a result of a drought the previous year, combined with a blockade by the Union Army and overall Civil War-related shortages. Food riots occurred throughout the South around this time, led primarily by women. During the Richmond riot, women broke into storehouses and shops, stealing food, clothing and jewelry before the militia was able to restore order.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CivilWar</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rebellion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rebellion</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Riot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Riot</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/looting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#looting</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/richmond" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#richmond</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/virginia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#virginia</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/women" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#women</a>

I wondered how often I might be captured on camera just driving around to meet my reporters. Would the data over time display patterns that would make my behavior predictable to anyone looking at it? So I took a daylong drive across Cardinal Country and asked 15 law enforcement agencies, using Freedom of Information Act requests, to provide me with the Flock LPR footage of my vehicle. My journey took me over 300 miles through slices of the communities those agencies serve, including the nearly 50 cameras they employ. And this journey may take me to one more place: an April Fool’s Day hearing in a courtroom in Roanoke. There, a judge will be asked to rule on a motion to declare the footage of the public to be beyond the reach of the public.But while Roanoke and Botetourt and two other police agencies denied my request for that footage, nine agencies complied and searched their data for signs of me passing through.Here’s what I found."<a href="https://cardinalnews.org/2025/03/28/i-drove-300-miles-in-rural-virginia-then-asked-police-to-send-me-their-public-surveillance-footage-of-my-car-heres-what-i-learned/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cardinalnews.org/2025/03/28/i-drove-300-miles-in-rural-virginia-then-asked-police-to-send-me-their-public-surveillance-footage-of-my-car-heres-what-i-learned/</a>

Ben!
