Hunting for diners and coffee shops with my love, driving West Virginia's two-lane roads, watching the sunlight dapple through the trees. AND YET if you sing *THAT SONG* in my direction, I'll stomp you under my Docs

This guy looks way more like a sniveling, ass-kissing coward than I first noticed. Makes perfect sense though. One of our #WV miners - even those fighting black lung - could kick his ass and not break a sweat.

"Former West Virginia coal miners with black lung drove to protest on the steps of the Labor Department...They held up photographs of dead friends and loved ones...On the opposite side of the building, an enormous banner with Trump’s face read 'American Workers First.'”

My BFF Margie Mason worked her tail off on this story - she grew up in a holler in #WV in the valley of the Farmington Mine Disaster. This absolutely matters to her and all West Virginians!

Just saw Ick Mart's holiday ad, in which they COMPLETELY BASTARDIZE the point of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Oooh I hope they get the backlash that should fall immediately upon them

Teen Vogue's Award-Winning Journalism Was Too Much Trouble for CondΓ© Nast The outlet just won recognition for speaking truth to power. CondΓ© Nast responded by eliminating its entire politics staff and folding it into Vogue.

Today's newsletter is about the awful and extremely political decision to gut Teen Vogue for parts www.readtpa.com/p/teen-vogue...

It's impacting small biz too. I went to my local Mexican rr this week - it was over $40 for 2 ppl (1 beer). That's too much and people just can't. Sorry local restaurants, I love you but love is being squeezed out by survival.

Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin.
