Populism - "A political philosophy or movement that represents the interests of ordinary people especially against the Establishment" (Merriam Webster)

West Virginia born and bred. 🇺🇲🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸🇺🇦 Montani Semper Liberi.
From the Coal Wars to the teacher strikes in 2018, Mountaineers have a strong history of protesting. We once again see Mountaineers protesting today on #NoKingsDay in Charleston, Morgantown, and Clarksburg.

Montani Semper Liberi.

Stealing food and baby supplies from corporations is never unethical.

You know #Trump has fucked up the #economy when Dollar General is saying they're feeling the economic squeeze.

Leaked email from WVGOP Supermajority. The WVGOP has done nothing this session except erode rights and harm the public health.

In today's age, it's more important than ever to be accepting of the LGBTQ+ people in your life. Let them know you are here and you are on their side.

For centuries, the real polluters have been big businesses and the ultra rich. They used marketing to convince us that we could all save the planet by recycling, but they never stopped polluting.

Because of them, microplastics are part of every living thing on earth.

Remember, always record cops, especially when they tell you not to.

Musk is an unelected foreign-born national executing a coup. He is the antithesis of the democratic process envisioned by our forefathers. The US elected Trump, as shit as it is, but it didn't elect Elon.

We need to end corporate residential property ownership and end the landlord class. They contribute nothing for society and prevent low and medium income families from purchasing homes and land.

Every major city in the country should be primarily using public transportation to get to work. Our failures to build and maintain sustainable public transit have handicapped our nation into needing cars to travel anywhere. We must right this wrong.

What "small government" really means is dictatorship.

Environmental Regulations work when the government hasn't been completely bought by corporations.

Multifunctional fixes to existing issues are the green way of the future.
Imagine solar panels over the sidewalk outside your house. In the summer, you get power. In the winter, it keeps snow and ice off the ground.

This is a great year to start a community garden project, to make friends at the farmers market, and to start community action groups.

My father is older than Ruby Bridges, your grandparents are probably older than her. Do not let those who accepted atrocities author history.

For every issue we've had in the last 40 years, there's a video of @sanders.senate.gov warning us about it 10 years beforehand.

We have more vacant homes in the US than we do homeless folks, the solution is simple, but instead we have corporations sucking up houses to rent out, flip for a profit, or use as an AirBNB. It's time for the end of commercial ownership of residential properties.

With the emerging megaregions around the country, we have an opportunity to not only connect the cities with light rail, but to connect these supercities with high-speed rail, taking you from NYC to LA cheaper and greener than by plane.

This country is saddled with an overwhelming amount of medical debt, not only hurting Americans, but hurting the economy as a whole. It's long past time we come together for universal healthcare.

We must build our future not just looking at electric vehicles, but by looking at mass transit options for both people and goods. A perfect example of this is #WVU 's PRT system which can bus students around town faster than you can drive in the traffic.

This is a map of abandoned and out of service rail lines in the US and adjoining regions.
This is millions, if not billions of dollars of infrastructure that if restored, would reduce highway congestion and reduce bulk good transportation costs.

Water is a human right. We must guarantee free clean drinking water to all Americans.

Tens of thousands of West Virginians live without clean drinking water at their tap. Thousands more get their water by trucking it to their cisterns.
