May Day 2025 rally was a huge success! We estimate ~1,600 people were there at the peak, maybe a few more… amazing turnout for a Thursday after work with the Albemarle County Office Building's parking lot closed!

Brief mention on the #Maddow of a protest in #charlottesville over the recent disappearance of two local house painters from the lovely historic courthouse by large anonymous men. I think I talked to them once, they were very funny. They sang Mexican ballads while they worked. https://youtu.be/D5WpL760XNI #cville #ice

>>What alarmed Nicholas Reppucci, head of the Charlottesville Office of the Public Defender, is that the enforcers called in to detain the two men in the city Tuesday morning were wearing plain clothes and did not display badges or arrest warrants.<<

NPS has such high hopes for the new Kimpton forum in Charlottesville...but no. Foiled again. Operations needs work. IHG just can't do it.

Back at the Forum: Charlottesville Getting Closer
As we have said before, it is nice to have a real hotel in Charlottesville these days (even if it is a post-IHG Kimpton). Though the building and grounds are excellent, operational kinks hold the property back. For example, how can your paid in advance room category be "not quite ready" for checking at 4:45pm? Who is in charge here? Not to mention nothing on the upgrade side you were promised. Terrible ops. Fortunately we're just here for a night. We were in (hamster cage) 574.

Today In Labor History April 11, 1934: Frank Norman, who had the gall to organize ALL citrus workers in the south, regardless of their race, was kidnapped from his home in Florida and murdered by Ku Klux Klansmen, dressed in local sheriff’s uniforms. Despite overwhelming evidence from the union, the case was swept under the rug by state officials, in the pocket of the citrus bosses. In May, 2018, the Sioux Falls AFL-CIO passed a resolution banning fascists and white supremacists from holding any positions of power in their union. In their resolution, they referenced both the murder of Frank Norman, and the recent murder of Heather Heyer, by white supremacists, in Charlottesville.
Magazine article, with picture of klansmen, dressed in hoods and robes, facing off against a room full of African American people, and the headline: Union Organizer murdered by kkk on April 11, 1934.

We are so lucky in this part of #virginia to have Refill Renew shops (in #stauntonva and #charlottesville )
From latest email: "...an increase in customers means less plastic in our landfills and oceans, healthier and happier communities, and support for local, women-owned business."

Feeling nostalgic for a previous life. My boss had a friend stencil the words on our oven. We baked that bread in it—4lb miche sourdough made with Carolina Ground’s high extract flour. Heather Heyer lost her life just a few blocks away the week before.
@mtechman you've already won by deciding to go, and you can't go wrong going to the capitol. But may I suggest #Charlottesville punches above it's weight given what happened there before?
