Really gotta be looking at @LevarStoney's gubernatorial prospects after this vote, especially one this bad. The city of Richmond does not appear poised to follow his lead, why should the state? #RVA

Suck it, Levar.

Today, Richmond won against moneyed interests. We’re proud to have participated alongside so many grassroots activists who organized to defeat a predatory casino. Together, a multi-racial coalition rejected this hyper exploitative vision of economic development. We demand better!

Let’s be clear about the Mayor’s lazy Casino 2.0 PR strategy: In the 11th hour he’s trying to make the convo about “childcare funding” because he knows there’s no good answer to the concerns Richmonders have about the harm a casino will inflict on our most vulnerable neighbors.

Just a casual afternoon reminder that you can always pack up your toys and go home in the middle of the game (aka delete you tweet and go private during an epic ratio) but screenshots last forever.

Urban One could be removed from the stock exchange. “It shines a big bright light on the [casino], because one of the major players is having difficulty with its financial reporting, and one way or another, that's not a good thing." @CBS6 wtvr.com/news/local-new…

What’s missing in this whether left electeds should go oppositional like the House hard right (or not) is w/ talk of the necessity of getting wins, the numbers aren’t there for that. So then it’s how to get the numbers. The numbers aren’t gonna come fast enough. So then what?

How come the Richmond Casino cabal hasn’t told the folks how many of the 1400 jobs are at the 7.50/hr and 15/hr rate? Why are they trying to conflate the wages of the first year construction jobs with the long term service jobs? @CBS6 @8NEWS @NBC12 @RTDNEWS @RTDMPW

I have learned that legislation to enable the potential construction of a casino in Fairfax County, including a developer-favored Reston site, may be reintroduced in the 2024 General Assembly. Here is my statement. #HD7 #KarenKeysGamarra #Virginia #Reston

“Like [Sen.] Tim Kaine said the first time, there are more equitable ways to develop Southside,” Chipman said. “I don’t feel good that developers go to the bargaining table, but somehow Southside has to go to the blackjack table.” virginiamercury.com/2023/09/29/fif…

Short answer here: IT WON'T! #safebet

How will a casino revitalize an entire side of town? Especially an area that has seen home proerty values rise 100k in 5 years without any infrastructure improvements? aka--- gentrification (Asking for a friend)

Richmond has transformed into a capitalist city. Where casinos are tools for growth instead of investing in the people. The current trend of revitalization is crafted for other people not the legacy residents.

Maybe I’m being reductionist, but I really feel like strikes should be kept to meaning workers withholding their labor In union jargon, when capitalists withhold the means of production it’s called “a lockout”

Hundreds of businesses in Oakland plan to participate in a one-day strike Tuesday, protesting rising crime in the city and calling on city officials to help struggling merchants.  trib.al/YQiXBSB
