West Virginia Rising

And this is still early! We are all going to suffer from a weakening America if we allow these illegitimate Trump Taxes and other Intolerable Acts stand even one day longer than absolutely necessary.

If I were Senate Majority Leader Thune, I'd give Trump until the end of the day tomorrow to run it all back or the green light goes up on impeachment and prosecution, but then I wouldn't be caught dead as a Republican at this point. But then again, I have a spine with my brain still attached!

People in cities across West Virginia participated in national peaceful protests over the weekend that are being called “Hands Off” rallies.

Yesterday was Fu***ng LIT, fam! Help us collect some more photos for the albums. The grandkids will want to see these!

And if you want to also go put the White House page on blast for being bent, that'd be great, too. Just don't forget to take some soup for the family.

Remember us?

You didn't think we actually went away did you?

Haha, we're just that deep in these hills.

Some of us saw this coming.

We aren't all idiots.

We've seen the bootlicking, the bleating,
the fear and hate-mongering.

We've read the signs of the approaching storm
offered education discussed honest dissatisfactions
disgusted, we dissented from imperial, industrial exploitation
and tried to warn

We stood up against the Baron and he no longer sits in the Senate.

So what shall become of the beloved bloated One in the White House?

Depends. Does Dear Emperor Donnie have the testicular fortitude for walkin the holler?

BREAKING: We will converge on the Congressional Baseball Game. And we will shut it down.

Our politicians are playing games as the planet burns. This cannot stand. This will not stand.

Rylee Haught’s family has lived in West Virginia for generations. She said she wants opportunities to continue to exist here for her and other young West Virginians.

“West Virginians are here, young West Virginians who care about this state are here, we’ve been showing up, we’ve been organizing, and nationally people don’t see it, but West Virginians see it, and we will continue to be here until our economy is okay, until our people are okay,” Haught said.

Approximately 100 protesters were outside of the Grant Town Power Plant gate demonstrating their right to a peaceful protest against Senator Joe Manchin’s climate policies on April 9.

Blockading a coal plant isn’t just about “shutting things down.” It’s about opening up new possibilities. We’re not just resisting those who destroy us. We are making space for a world with good, dignified jobs, racial justice, and thriving ecosystems.

The protest called on Manchin to abandon his support for fossil fuels and support green energy legislation.

Demonstrators also urged Manchin to support legislation to lift up families living in poverty.

Grassroots groups blocked the entrance to a West Virginia power plant and denounced Sen. Joe Manchin’s ties to the coal industry.

“Instead of passing legislation and standing with those things that would help the climate and protect our water, he has blocked those things,” Barber said. “At every turn, he has chosen the money and chosen greed and chosen a kind of political meanness. When you block health care, people die. When you mess up the climate, people die.”

GRANT TOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Grassroots groups blocking the entrance to a West Virginia power plant denounced Sen. Joe Manchin’s ties to the coal industry, and several arrests were made. Dozens of protesters rallied Saturday outside the front gate of the coal-fired Grant Town Power Plant, news outle...

Never want to hear again that blockading him is too radical

U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin will be heading to the province on Monday and Tuesday to visit oilsands operations.
