@Cathy2NotToday I remember.

The censorship algorithm has reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife advocacy group ? You can help by retweeting, liking and following. If we're going to preserve what few wild places remain, we need you to get involved.

3 weeks from this moment, most voting will be done with. The deference between the two presidential candidates couldn’t be more different and at least for me, the choice is simple and clear. If you’re voting for TFG, you’re voting against democracy and everything this country stands for

No surprise that Klansman David Duke endorsed @DrJillStein. Hell, I’m frankly surprised he didn’t also propose. They’re soul mates.

There will be people who roll their eyes at this. Pay no mind. Most will be the same people who rolled their eyes at the things people thought would happen if Trump lost the election.

@appodlachia I grew up in Fayette County WV and had a long a until I was told I was mispronouncing it by someone who did not grow up in Appalachia

Survey time: If you grew up in one of the ARC defined counties, we want to know how you pronounce “Appalachia.” Drop your state and county in a reply with your pronunciation

I live in Eastern North Carolina. Relief agencies here are suggesting that we not travel to the areas affected by Hurricane Helene as they are in the middle of rescue and recovery operations. They do not want an influx of people into an already unstable area. Donald Trump has no business traveling to Georgia right now. This is a brazenly performative and calculated measure and is simply an effort to weaponize millions of people's trauma to aid his faltering campaign. While president, Donald Trump did nothing to help Americans during natural disasters or public health emergencies, but exacerbated them by his incompetence and abject cruelty. His Project 2025 would: - Eliminate FEMA - Eliminate the National Weather Service - Eliminate federal-backed flood insurance - Eliminate emergency disaster funding for state/local governments Donald Trump is a conman, a criminal, and he lacks any decency or empathy. The fact that he would turn wide-scale American suffering and death into a photo-op, shows again why he doesn't deserve a single American's vote. The good people of this nation should fully reject him. In times of consequence, we need a wise, intelligent, and compassionate leader like Kamala Harris, not a narcissistic sideshow clown.

THIS is what you call a front page. Every newsroom in America should do the same. Bravo, Philadelphia Tribune.

@ash_in_wv Thank you for the work you do.

Trump’s Project 2025 explained hilariously, terrifyingly, and perfectly. Trump’s Project 2025 will end America as we know it and turn it into the White Christian Nationalist version of Afghanistan. twitter.com/naretevduorp/s…

@FeleciaElana “Oh Lordy,” and I’m on sabbatical!

I call this, "Phases of a Faculty Meeting"

In Appalachia, our cultural foods have evolved in the way that they have because our ancestors were poor and starving. Poor, white southerners ate foods that were cheap and calorically-dense. This is why we now eat biscuits and gravy, grits, and local vegetables cooked in leftover animal fats. They were lucky to have had things like flour and grease to make gravy. My grandparents regularly only had this to eat, and even then, the food was scarce. Cuisine that has evolved from poverty is not exclusive to another race or another country. Americans, Europeans, white people in general — have all struggled with poverty, and many of our cultures adapted and survived eating scraps, like these people are doing now. You are not genetically superior because you are blessed with abundant resources. You are lucky to have been born into the abundant wealth that America has today. Using these peoples’ suffering as evidence that Haitian immigrants are an inferior people is mind-blowingly cruel and ignorant. If you want to look down on Haitian immigrants because people in their homeland are starving, then I guess you should deport all of us in Appalachia and plenty of southerners whose ancestors worked hard but still spent years doing things like this to SURVIVE. You are the entitled elite that republicans claim to hate so much.

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Mitt Romney bashed Donald Trump’s debate performance and then proceeded to praise Kamala Harris’ performance. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this.

@walkyourcamera Damn straight!

don't vote for a guy who's friends with putin. you don't want that shit, trust me

Donald Trump IS Project 2025:

During his term as president, Donald Trump had some people with integrity in the White House who served as a buffer to keep him from going completely bat-shit crazy and doing everything that he planned/wanted to do. We got lucky. This time, Donald is surrounding himself with the real dirtbags of the world. Men and women who are without integrity. People who are corrupt and incorrigible. The kind of people who wouldn't know what an act of honor looked like if it slapped them across their burnt orange-stained lips. We wouldn't be lucky this time. There will be no second chance.
