There are few things in life more fun than those precious moments after you replenish "go juice" in your hummingbird feeders during migration season. Let the aerial jockeying for dominance commence! It's a beautiful morning in WV, whatever the political climate. Soaking in sunshine while I can.

Ladies (and gents), can we all agree that this is complete BS and that working together to mobilize for the mid-terms is the most important piece on the political board? This patriarchal BS cannot stand. We have to kick down this stupid door with all of our might. Happy Women's Day 2025.

Kash Patel at FBI? Drop ship the counter-intel section’s asset list to KGB if this goes through. Staffing by a giant BINGO tombola filled with names of the absolute worst people for every job. There should be free shot glasses & tequila with newspaper delivery for next 4 years. Criminy. 🙄

If “money equals speech,” money dominates governmental agendas. Over time, they stop governing, laws & regulations are reviled by the very people they should serve, leading to de-regulation & wealth dominance. The poor become invisible, until they refuse to be ignored. Rinse, lather, repeat.
