“Along the winding back roads and Appalachian hollers of West Virginia, in a state where Trump won 70% of the votes cast in November, his administration's vow to cut back on government spending is being keenly felt.”
Trump funding cuts ripple through rural America
The phone rang over the whine of Trey Yates' butter churn. The person calling was polite, but the message was devastating: Mountaineer Food Bank was ending Yates' butter contract, due to the federal government's funding cuts.

You need to be on the phone with your reps daily. If you need help knowing what to say when you call, follow @jesscraven101.bsky.social. What Tr*mp did to our ally Ukraine is deeply unpopular with Republicans, and they need to be flooded with calls from their constituents outraged over this betrayal
![2/28 Call all 3 reps about that INSANE Oval Office meeting 202-224-3121
Hi, I'm a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is Trump and Vance's Oval Office meeting with President Zelensky today was a major embarrassment, and totally horrifying. The way Trump and Vance spoke to Zelensky was disrespectful, condescending and antagonistic. It was clear they were using Russian government talking points. We look like imbeciles on the world stage, and, more importantly, like a country that is fully in league with Vladimir Putin. Trump's fealty to Putin and Russ dangerous and unacceptable. I stand with Ukraine want the Senator/Congressmember to make a staten, saying that s/he does as well. We are either for freedom and democracy or we are not. Which side is s/he on?
Thanks.

I will remind folks every day for as long as it takes until working class Americans hear it and act: Elon Musk called you, me, your grandma, little children, veterans, disabled folks, farmers, ALL OF US "the parasite class". Everything they're doing is to make us suffer and die. It's eugenics.

Do this. No need to go anywhere, no need to fight bad weather, no need even to get dressed. All you have to do is not feed the greed of the oligarchs. If you can’t avoid spending, spend locally.
Talk of a "Feb 28 Economic Blackout" is spreading on social media. What is it?
A grassroots effort is asking American consumers to refrain from making purchases at major retailers for one day in February.

Know your enemy: at the encouragement of several followers, I spent the last week digging into not only Curtis Yarvin, but also the PayPal Mafia and their racist, eugencist upbringing. I recommend you take a little time to learn who these men really are so you can learn how to defeat their coup.
