Just a little ole blue-haired lady from West Virginia who intends to keep raising hell until we save our democracy!
Is it live, or is it Memorex?

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The witless should be banned, Megyn Kelly first.
Whistles should be banned instead of masked murdering out-of-control, lawless Proud Boy thugs with assault weapons, tear gas, arrested development, and anger issues.

Fascist Fox News and its alumni trash are destroying our democracy.

Despite constant teargassing, brutal detentions, and the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Minnesotans have stood up against Trump's invasion of their state in remarkable numbers and with tremendous courage.

A federal judge told ICE: “The Court’s patience is at an end.”
After ignoring dozens of court orders, the administration was forced to answer. But it doesn’t sound like the administration is committed to de-escalation. Read about what actually happened today. joycevance.substack.com/p/ice-gettin...

just a reminder: if fire hydrants near where you live are buried in snow after this week’s storms, it’s a mitzvah (and a gooooood workout!) to dig out around that hydrant so fire crews can get to it faster if need be.

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Hey Wyoming! West Virginia here. Second only to y'all in percentage of voters who voted for Trump. We've got at least 17 in our small-ish state and several more jointly organized just over the border in neighboring states.

There's going to be a No Kings event in Gillette, WY (where I grew up). It's the county seat of Campbell County, WY, which voted 87% for Traitor One. Yes, the message is penetrating.

Donald Trump is threatening to go after journalists.

This is scary.

Where is Congress when we need it most?
JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech

TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you.

If Donald Trump has nothing to hide in the Epstein files, then why is the White House pressuring Republicans to keep them concealed?
