After viewing the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota- he then proceeds to lie about EVERYTHING in it, aside from the fact that it is, indeed, "a horrible thing to watch." #25thAmendmentNOW

🚨 EMERGENCY PROTEST IN ASHEVILLE TOMORROW: STOP ICE TERROR! 🗓️ Thursday, Jan 8 🕔 5:00PM 📍 1 N Pack Square in Asheville, NC 🤝 Organized by PSL WNC #WNC #NC #NCPolitics #NorthCarolina #Asheville #AshevilleNC

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Ben Johnson, the head coach of the Chicago Bears played football here growing up. Pretty neat

As a reminder, Trump spread a false story in the wake of the Asheville floods that Doug Emhoff was bulldozing homes to make way for a lithium mine. This led to Asheville residents getting into conflicts with FEMA workers. Every accusation is a confession.

Spontaneous protest in Asheville, NC.

These guys feel like family to me at this point. If you've never listened to their music, here's an introduction: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeYS...

Stopping in Asheville on our 1st leg of a quick road trip. Lunch at Little Pigs #BBQ, opened in 1962 and I believe the city’s oldest independent restaurant. It was once part of the long-dead chain which still has 4 or 5 indie locations left. Never wrote about it when we blogged, but pretty good BBQ.

There are still people in the NC mountains who are living in tents. Trump's FEMA is just not helping ANYONE! (And I don't want to hear any FAFO nonsense. Not only is it unkind, it's untrue. Asheville is a predominantly Democratic and politically liberal city.) www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Wishes for a blessed and fruitful Kwanzaa to all who celebrate! • #kwanzaa #celebrate #umoja #unity #Asheville

I spent yesterday at The Biltmore House in Asheville, NC. It’s the largest privately owned home in the US.

The grounds are beautiful. They were designed by Frederick Law Olmstead. He also designed Central Park in NYC. Asheville still has damage from #Helene. There are trees down and buildings still being restored.

I am in Asheville right now!

Now that we're in the 2025 home stretch, our collective is shifting from retail hustle to reflection. This was a tough year, on lots of levels, but our public messaging has mostly focused on political concerns rather than the difficult financial position we've been in since Hurricane Helene. 1/

In 2025 we raised money for River Arts District, MANA, WNCAP, Haywood Pride, Hendersonville Pride, Southern Equality, 103.3FM, Asheville Humane, Loving Food Resources, and Asheville Gay Men's Chorus. Thanks to the community for helping us make a big difference.

Gratitude 🙏🏽 I just came from a visit there and am still in shock at the drastic changes of the land. But what sticks with me is the indomitable spirit of the Asheville community. How fiercely you pull together. How much you care for one another. I hope we do the same here.

Asheville is an extremely blue college town.

How's that worked out for you?

One time I was walking my dogs with my daughter, one got off leash and took off. We looked for him for 30 minutes, finding ourselves on the road beneath this bridge. We hear barking, Benny was standing on this bridge looking down at us! This is Helen's Bridge btw

Greg Biffle was an absolute UNIT of a human being when it came to giving back. Whether it was raising money for the local food bank in Asheville or flying hurricane relief victims in Jamaica. Greg was was known for going above and beyond to help people. He was a good human and embodied kindness.

Greg was instrumental in the aid to hurricane victims in Asheville, NC area. He piloted his own helicopter on countless rescue and aid missions. A really good person. RIP. 💔

Twelve Bones in Asheville, NC. It's great barbecue.

My wife's employer is having a holiday party on the top floor of the Flatiron, um, Hotel? (That just sounds weird.) So I'm eating fancy appetizers like they're dinner (trust me, it's dinner) and taking advantage of the open bar. Oh look! It's a rooftop bar! In #Asheville! Go figure!
