Explain how a felon former president impeached for insurrection, with the Colorado Supreme Court disqualifying him, can officially retake the oath he violated by trying to over-throw the government?

The U.S. government is normalizing this as they usher in fascism.

We are here.

Well, I'm truly sad today for a couple of reasons: I'm a Forester and advocate for native American Chestnut. I'm watching a tree crew cut down an American Chestnut with NO protection (no eye protection, no hearing protection, nothing). It's a tree I pointed out to my son as a survivor... Depressed

Look at this terrifying scene: happy, healthy animals running through co-located wind and solar energy farm cranking out clean energy in a grassy field.

I can see now why people would rather have a field of oil pumps and pipelines instead 🤦‍♂️

This is a map I created earlier this summer (2024) to raise awareness about our local power company, AEP, proposing major transmission line ROWs across one of the most heavily used trail systems in the Kanawaha Valley area : felt.com/map/Meeks-Mo... Fortunate to say, they changed their mind! #GIS

Does me buying new architectural scales and T-squares count as an early holiday present for myself? I'm more excited for these than I was for GI Joe in 1984.

Democrats Call Out Governor Justice for Wasting Taxpayer Dollars on Special Session to Benefit Out-of-State Corporations

For Immediate Release
December 5, 2024
WVDP Chair Mike Pushkin today criticized Governor Jim Justice for proposing a costly special session of the Legislature to push through a tax break for powerful out-of-state corporations. “Justice is squandering taxpayer dollars to hold a special session to pass a sweetheart deal for a special interest, out-of-state corporation,” said Pushkin. “This is an outrageous abuse of power and a blatant disregard for the people of WV, who deserve a government that prioritizes their needs—not backroom deals for corporate cronies.” Pushkin also pointed out that the Governor’s decision to call a special session stems from his lack of faith in the incoming Legislature and new Governor to pass his special interest bill. “The fact that Jim Justice is rushing this through now, instead of allowing the next Legislature and Governor to address it, speaks volumes about his lack of confidence in their priorities and the will of the voters,” Pushkin continued. “It’s no wonder—he knows WVians are tired of politicians catering to out-of-state corporations instead of investing in our schools, roads, and communities.” The special session comes at an unnecessary expense to taxpayers, with costs that could have been avoided by simply waiting for the regular legislative session in two months. “At a time when PEIA is in crisis, public employees are bracing for massive premium increases, and retirees are being hit hard, Justice has decided to spend taxpayer money to placate corporate interests. This decision is tone-deaf and emblematic of an administration that has consistently put the needs of the wealthy and well-connected over the needs of everyday WVians. We should all call on the Governor and legislators to refocus their priorities and call off this needless, ill advised, special session.
