The Health secretary sounds like he's struggling to breathe

West Virginia doesn't have any major cities, but the cities we do have are chopped up like this. I was one of 6 people from my district who voted in the last primaries

For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.

You're right. I was relegating it to the military, but the cops are an occupying force, so what is the difference?

I sincerely didn't know that planes were involved in that massacre. Thank you for the education

Truth!

Land doesn’t vote

People do ❣️

Leftover munitions from WWI. It's the only time the US has bombed itself. But we're all just dumb hicks, right? @wvminewars.bsky.social is a phenomenal resource for anyone interested

Whose Heritage SF

And just for fun, here's a list of schools named after Confederates. WV is not on the list, but Virginia has a LOT docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Then the Black folks and white folks in WV had the absolute gaul to team up and unionize. We've been punished for it ever since

I like pointing this out when people talk about West Virginia. It's also legal to marry your cousin in Virginia

As a rural voter-cities have more people, so they should have more of a say? I mean, we can vote for all our local politicians, but in terms of national elections it makes sense that more people=more votes

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

Go off, Madam President.

They weren't prepared for an adequate response at ALL.

I'm Appalachian. I'm so far away from these children. I hear the message, though. Hope and change got me through my 20's. I'm strapped in. Let's fuckin go.

BREAKING: The YES vote will WIN Virginia’s redistricting referendum, allowing Democrats to redraw maps ahead of the midterms and potentially flip the state from 6–5 to 10–1 — a four-seat swing that could decide control of Congress.

AOC is Puerto Rican. I will never speak for an indigenous person, but I really wish she could speak for all of us. I think she would do a phenomenal job

Madame president.

I wish to see this in my lifetime. She absolutely has what it takes

Me, every single time I see AOC speaking, ever.

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

@altnps.bsky.social I hate this timeline

Being ultra wealthy should be the shame. It's unnatural, they aren't like us. They need to remember where their wealth came from. Keeping people in poverty for no reason is a form of violence. We recognize it as "financial abuse" in domestic violence situations.

Amen. That's exactly what it was. It was to shame your mother into not bothering to apply. As if it's a joyous occasion to apply for FOOD assistance

Why do we tolerate prior authorization when it is used to kill us? A WV man’s last, best shot at cancer treatment was denied until it was too late—exposing how PA can quietly turn deadly for the patient & save insurance companies dollars.
