painter, CREEKER, CollageWV, Dew-mouth- a memoir -Kentucky Press-COMING SOON, ABORTION is HEALTHCARE, AcluWv, SNL, Thoughts and opinions are my own only
The sergeant of arms just told me he would make me put my sign somewhere that I would not like it. Exact words. At the Capitol. Our house. So i put my jacket on instead
Just a reminder. Don’t google search abortion clinics in West Virginia and think there are many. All except one of those are crisis pregnancy centers. Aka fake clinics. We only have one clinic in our state. The Women’s Health Center of West Virginia.
Coal is never coming back. My papaw died of black lung. Saying coal is a dying resource doesn’t make me against miners. It makes me furious that Manchin, Justice and gang use coal to win elections without giving miners a hopeful future outside of coal to prosper here.
When they make it illegal to get an abortion in Wv and make it harder to get gender affirming care- The Women’s Health Center opens a new location right over the border in Maryland to give us access to both. Cumberland in June. We will find a way WV and they are punk rock AF.
4 yrs ago today I was arrested along with 8 other women for a 11 hr sit in at Manchins office to protest Kavanaugh confirmation. After that went to meet with Manchin in Dc with ACLU. He assured us that Roe would not fall. Today we have no abortion access in WV. People will die.
In one swoop our local newspaper got rid of all of the good reporters, fired them and chose to die on the hill beside DON BLANKENSHIP. Let that sink in.
Just thinking about how my friend Rose was arrested for yelling in the balcony during session for the stripping away of our abortion rights but yet Azinger wasnt arrested for being involved with the insurrection on Jan 6 and still gets to vote away those rights.
Oh and ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL IN WEST VIRGINIA. The vote won't happen until summer. That's a draft so it's time to prepare but ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL and I will hold your hand walking in and support you always
Might be naive of me but amendment one barely passed here. I have no doubt that West Virginia could be Kansas if given a fair shot. We had 1500 people show up in pouring rain and hundreds show up with 3 days notice this past week. I still think WV is good. The government IS NOT
I don't care what anyone says. If we weren't here, this wouldn't have happened. Do not tell me protest and emails to legislators do not work. I just saw it. They will have committee meetings and meet back up which could be weeks but for now ABORTION IS LEGAL and
In West Virginia you can use all kinds of identification to vote. Conceal carry permit ? Yep. Fishing license? Yep. Utility bill? Yep. Snap card? Yep. A friend vouch that it’s really you ? Yep. GO VOTE. Grab that ridiculously high electric bill or water bill and HOP to IT
HORNBUCKLE IS TAKING IT OVER AND SHOWING THEM PICS OF EMMETT TILL and Holocaust and lynchings on the house floor and WHOA. DOES THIS MAKE YOU FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE? Can they teach this. Whoa. Y’all.
Just watched this tik tok. DEL. D. Hamrick sent a hook up message on a dating app while he was voting to strip away our abortion rights and force birth. Ironically she was there protesting that vote.These bro dudes in the legislature. Didn't you learn from Joe Jeffries?
Make no mistake. The case Should not have been WV v EPA. WEST VIRGINIA did not want this shit. It's should have been special interest, corporations and Big COAL V ERA. they poison WV and then gaslight her and tell her it's for our own good. It's all a lie.
Manchin is trending so I'm gonna remind people that 17 women had a sit in at his office and got arrested then 50 of us went to DC and told him their stories begging him not to vote YES on Kavanaugh because WE KNEW and he believed HIM instead. He full of shit
Justice saying that the ACLU is practicing political theatre by fighting for bodily autonomy but thinks showing baby dogs butthole and bring out a platter of actual bull poop is perfectly ok.
It’s literally bonkers to me that Huggins is paid 4.2 MILLION dollars as a state employee and a lot of people who work for the state have to be careful what the buy at the grocery store just to make money stretch until the next payday. 4.2 Million dollars !!!!! 🤯
Why is it that Appalachians have this weird guilt thing about being proud of things they are doing or accomplished. Like ego is one thing but also own that shit!! it’s hard here and people I know amaze the hell out of me and are doing so many great things. Kudos to the hustlers
@rileywyantTV
Would you be apologizing if ya won ? Time for your apology to be real and donate to some West Virginia healthcare facilities like idk Womens Health Center Wv, SOAR, HEALTH RITE. The damage this rhetoric causes sticks around. Words do harm. Put your $ where your apology is
Just feeling like I have imposter syndrome because I go to work in the a.m for the ACLU. I come from a space that wasn’t safe. Chaos as a kid, abuse as an adult and sometimes the mean voices come back to tell me that I can’t do this and I’m scared but I AM DOING THIS SHIT
NEW: The DOJ ramped up the case against former WV State Rep. Derrick Evans, who resigned after storming the US Capitol. He only faced misdemeanors, but now he's charged with felony obstruction of Congress, which means possible prison time. previously -->
Welp. I just signed a BOOK contract with
@KentuckyPress
for DEWMOUTH while talking to a woman at the Orlando airport who just got back from gramas funeral where her fam got in a fist fight. Her car was stolen in Chicago while there. This somehow tracks. Im doing this SHIT.
My friend hurt her back went to med express. What was the last day of your last period? Not answering that. Is there a possibility you could be pregnant? Also not answering that. The new answers from now on. It's your medical info and you literally don't have to answer these.
@RealDLHughley
@drika_hill
So who do you think is the bigger man here ? One who goes to rehab and comes out as Bisexual to the entire country or you who is making a joke about someone owning who they are and getting help for addiction on TWITTER ? Imma say choice number one without a damn doubt
If you or someone you know has ever had a miscarriage and had to have surgery. The hospitals can't help you because miscarriages are abortions and it's a felony rn for the Dr and patient. This is the law here now in WV. Seriously. Think about this. This is REAL LIFE NOT FICTION
I had my abortion at 17 weeks. I had to come up with money. Couldn’t tell my family. I was alone. So to answer judge Roberts question as to why 15 weeks isn’t enough time ? You make 275 k a year and can’t get pregnant. I made 4.50 an hour at the time & was 16 scared to death.
My entire jaw hurts from laughing and smiling so much today. That's a good feeling I haven't had in a very long time. The city was so happy and I'm not sure who took this but holy moly
So apparently employees at Ruby are having a protest today against vaccine mandates. You work in a hospital HELLO. This is really why we need to invest in education In our state. Flu shot mandate no biggie huh? But oh COVID and them microchips. 🙄.
Everyone is so sad and tired of mass shootings. Three in the past few days….. Our senate this a.m. LETS PASS CAMPUS CARRY. Fucking tone deaf. Campuses don’t want this. Students don’t want this.
This is seriously incredible. SOAR decides to install syringe disposals and 50,000 needles so far have been dropped in them. Super thankful for them and then work they do.
Oh hey West Virginia is literally being taken over by white christian nationalist and Russian invaded the Ukraine. Hope you are having a great Thursday. Everything is terrible
If Pride flags are banned in Mon county schools because they are "political" then the Wv flag should be also because their politics are so much more harmful to children than a rainbow flag.
This is the lawmaker who drafted a bill for people convicted of drug offenses to get sterilized to reduce their jail sentences. HIM. The stick chewing MAN Randy Smith.
My sister and her friends called an Uber in Venice Beach and the driver heard their accents and said “ I’m from West Virginia also, what part are y’all from” Proof again that no matter where we are, we always find each other. Every single time.
There was a peaceful rally at our state Capitol this evening to call for a cease fire in Palestine. Hundreds came and no media in sight - although they were notified.
Governor issued a state of emergency for all 55 counties and he ain’t wrong for once. We are def in a state of emergency and not just because of the rain.
Ya gotta love it when Missy Ciccerello from WV FOR LIFE gets arrested and taken away in a prisoner transport for breaking ordinance again and again and acting like laws do not pertain to her.
I respect our Veterans but do not respect a country that gives them a holiday and then doesn’t make sure they have the help they need for PTSD and the healthcare they deserve. Today I pray for them and the homeless veterans that society forgets about and our country looks away.
Without further ado,
@womenshealthmmd
will open in June 2023 just minutes from the WV border!🥳
This Cumberland clinic will offer a full-range of repro health services including medical & procedural abortion up to 16 weeks, as well as gender-affirming care. 🌈
Nearly 41.6 million dollars the military spends on Viagra every year but people don’t want their tax dollars to go towards things like abortion or public assistance.
VICTORY: A Court has blocked West Virginia’s cruel and archaic abortion ban by issuing a preliminary injunction. Our work isn't done yet, however. We will need you to stand with us in the coming fight at the legislature.
my son is ok
But he called me to tell me he tried to avoid a large stick in the road and had just eaten a pepperoni roll so his hands were greasy and he failed the swerve and ended up in a ditch. This is WV and y’all shouldn’t eat pepperoni ROLLS WHILE OPERATING HEAVY EQUIPMENT
Can’t wait til the haters realize that AEP, WV water and AARP were all in the Rainbow Pride parade and they boycott them and have to move far far away without water or power and they realize there’s no room for hate here anymore. My favorite day.
I got this text from my 21 year old son this am out of the blue. I thought maybe someone needed my help. I think I cried for like half hour after he responded. It also made me think that their generation will do better than us
Some days I am required to visit a board member who was a homesteader and published an underground gay newspaper in his barn in the 70s. He tells me good stories & today taught me about his cast iron cookware and vast fiesta collection which includes this polka dot and cherries.
I had this pin on last night at dinner and a waiter stopped to read it and with a big smile said I am 5 months in recovery and my entire life has changed. He was beaming with pride and I hugged him and haven’t stopped thinking about that few minutes of conversation.
FaceTimed with a reporter from wsaz last week who asked me why I felt no media outlets listened to me before election. I said because it happened at an abortion clinic and my safety wasn’t as important as not saying the hush word. They never ran my interview last week.The irony.
Before I left the March earlier, a lady in the parking lot asked me to take her families picture. The daughters sign said “girl power”, the moms said “my body my choice”, the dads said “science is real” and the sons who was still in a stroller said “I like dinosaurs”
yesterday one of the anti WV for life loons screamed at an escort "how many kindergarten classes did you kill today" a person in a nearby car screamed " none here but YOU SHOULD ASK THE NRA". Seriously the clap back coming at these crazies is 🔥. Abortion is healthcare! Period
Omg KARNES saying VICTIMS ROMANTICIZE THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR RAPISTS - WHAT The fuck is happening. Literally monster is a compliment for that shit fly
Capitol police just asked us what we were running in because we were just as loud as the teachers and there were thousands. We said Anger, Rage and cough drops.
So Derrick Evans is out of prison tomorrow. It was so peaceful not hearing his name or seeing his face on the news or all over social. I have a feeling he will try and get as much publicity as he can. Please don't share that shit. He doesn't deserve it. Shoo him like a fly.
