And that's our WV Senator Capito to his right. She had her staff "temporarily close" her Charleston office when 6 folks went to sit-in and politely ask her to protect Medicaid coverage for her constituents, for hundreds of thousands of West Virginians. They got arrested.

Check out the live stream by Councilwoman Beth Kerns on WVCAG's Facebook page. Their sit-in protest was calm and peaceful, but firm in their wish to be heard as constituents by Capito. The office was conveniently closed. Cops came and tried to handcuff the elders w/ walkers.

"You're going to take Medicaid and SNAP from people that barely have anything at all right now... This isn't about ... people not working and getting benefits. This is about people who have nothing [who] are getting it taken away by people who have everything." - Prof. Kenny Matthews, AFSC advocate

A few more garden pics :)

It's been in the 90's all week. But I've been able to water the garden at 7am most days. Ate a couple banana peppers, a mild-medium hot pepper, some spinach, kale, swiss chard, collards, lettuce and our first cucumber. Tomatoes are just starting to fruit. ❤️🙂

Rewatching "The Producers" and realizing the ridiculous stuff Will Ferrell's character says is probably tame compared to the insanity on X, and this moment here echoes what congress members had to do to keep Trump's backing. Wear the band. Swear allegiance. Sell their souls & democracy for $+power.

Pretty rose in my garden after a summer rain. ❤️🙂🌹

Lots of folks lost their jobs. I wonder what happened? DOGE cuts? Businesses struggling from Tariffs and Rising inflation? Hmmm. 🤔
