We need your help. The Trump administration is dismantling the U.S. Forest Service. 193 million acres of public land (bigger than Texas) is being handed over to political operatives and industry insiders.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

As part of the red-carpet treatment, Saudi officials arranged for a fully operational mobile McDonald’s unit to accompany President Trump during his stay. According to local reports, the unit was set up near the Saudi Royal Court.

Remembering 11/22/63 today; the assassination of John F Kennedy. I was in the 4th grade; Mrs Peeler’s class. Our principal, Mr Hauser, made the announcement about the shooting over the intercom. After awhile, he announced that our president had died. (Thread)

Our teacher turned on the tv in our classroom and we watched until school was dismissed early. I remember my parents and everyone else being off work and out of school for several days until after his funeral.

His was my first political campaign; I worked with my mom when I was 6 years old, handing out campaign literature. 11/22/63 is a day I’ll never forget. I always wonder how our world would be different had he lived. Would civil rights have advanced as they did under LBJ?

Hello and welcome to my BlueSky account! The past few weeks have been so difficult, starting with Hurricane Helene trying to destroy Asheville (where I live) and much of western NC. The election almost put me over the edge. 🧵

Hello and welcome to my BlueSky account! The past few weeks have been so difficult, starting with Hurricane Helene trying to destroy Asheville (where I live) and much of western NC. The election almost put me over the edge. 🧵

2/ I’ve heard that news media is ignoring areas in the south ravaged by Helene so I’m here to tell you that Asheville still doesn’t have potable (safe for drinking) water in its water system. The town of Marshall is still mostly without power. Many communities are still digging out from the mud.

You are up to date.
