You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America. And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

I wrote about the water crisis in West Virginia and the “they’re getting what they voted for” reactions. open.substack.com/pub/appodlac...

Every statement from democratic leadership: “I told Cookie Monster not to eat cookies, and if he wanted them, he had to get congressional approval. I am deeply upset Cookie Monster ate the cookies without even letting us know first.”

If you’re gonna brand yourself as rural, I would suggest finding a different address than Park Avenue in NYC

Spanberger sounds like a robot. Does not appear to have the sauce

Thanks to everyone who bought merch for our fundraiser. Together, we raised $629.85 for TIRRC! 💪

Does anyone else obsessively track every flight they’ve ever flown on, or is it just a me thing?

I joined UpScrolled, which appears to be an emerging TikTok alternative. share.upscrolled.com/en/user/e403...

We loved having @xgigglypuff.bsky.social on the show last year. She’s such a great representative of Appalachia.

In case you hadn’t seen it, I was interviewed by @appodlachia.com and talked about my experience going from rural Appalachia to Harvard. You can check it out if you’re interested. :) open.spotify.com/episode/76Rm...

Learning today that the JD Vance couch story might have more truth to it than we thought

“This is good because Venezuelans are celebrating”

Rep. @aftynbehn.bsky.social shared this @appodlachia.com post about Trump sending Tennessee Republican megadonor Lee Beaman to the TVA board to keep us addicted to fossil fuels and our prices high. open.substack.com/pub/appodlac...

Wrote about the right wing attempt to smear @aftynbehn.bsky.social for standing up for survivors open.substack.com/pub/appodlac...

The right is trying to smear @aftynbehn.bsky.social for putting her body on the line to advocate for victims. In 2019, she was forcibly removed from the TN House chambers after demanding Rep. David Byrd resign. 🧵

I hate Mitch McConnell, but you know if he were in Schumer’s position he would have threatened to shove a scalding hot fireplace poker up anyone’s ass who threatened to break rank and vote yes.

Yes, the far left radical base that pushed out Joe Manchin for….Jim Justice

We recently dropped some new merch in our store that has the Facebook keyboard warriors up in arms

A person on Facebook in response to Bernie Sanders and Medicare for All: “Well I don’t want my money going to pay for other people’s healthcare!!” My brother in Christ, how do you think private insurance works?

Added some new merch to our store in honor of Tyler Childers being called a hick lib. appodlachia.dashery.com

Tyler Childers does this thing where his music doesn’t beat you over the head senseless with fake patriotism iconography or praising the troops, and it causes the soy right to lose their minds.

Israel blocking aid from Gaza is creating ‘chaos and death’, say humanitarian groups

The White House’s discretionary budget includes a 93% cut to the Appalachian Regional Commission. This will be devastating to a region that is already falling behind the rest of the country.

So, @aftynbehn.bsky.social has jumped into the TN-07 race along with @vincentdixiefortn.bsky.social and @votebo.bsky.social. We love what she said in her announcement - let's help fix our deeply broken Congress. She's tough as nails & would do a terrific job. MORE INFO: www.aftynforcongress.com

Wrote a bit of a different substack post today appodlachia.substack.com/p/my-syrian-...

Bombing Iran will surely fix inflation

One of the worst takes I’ve ever seen in my entire life

Many faces of my dad, including: Appalachian mountain man cryptid (?), Union man, proof I’m beating him on the hair game, and with my Syrian papaw.

We’re at a pop up comedy event at a burlesque studio in Chattanooga. Hell yeah

Today is Naksa Day, a day of commemoration for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who were killed and expelled from their homes 58 years ago. Lasting peace means acknowledging atrocities. By carrying our ancestors’ stories and pain, we can strive for a better future for our descendants.

I’m SO EXCITED to share this interview with y’all next week! I had the privilege of talking to Appalachian literary icon Barbara Kingsolver, who won the Pulitzer for Demon Copperhead and is using the royalties to open a women’s addiction recovery residence in Southwest Virginia.

Democrats are mailing these flyers out to young men nationwide in an attempt to win back their critical electoral bloc

Her reaction when she thought it was Friday and I told her it was only Thursday.

I hate asking for help - it's not in my nature - but I need help. I'm already thousands of dollars in debt, and I just got my cancer diagnosis today. I'm going to miss out on months if not a year of work, so I need help with bills. If you can chip in, please do. I so appreciate it gofund.me/4680d764

Unions representing workers laid off at federal health and oversight agencies are heading to Washington D.C. next week to protest past and continued cuts to their workforces by the federal government’s new Department of Government Efficiency, reports @caitycoyne.bsky.social.

Can we please get more ATCs in Newark, and give this one like 6 months paid leave for their service?

"We’re looking for stories where young people are at the center – how a policy impacts them, how an issue is changing how they live and work, or the experiences they’re having in Appalachia."

Every dem campaign should pledge to make mutual aid and community service a core part of their campaign, and dedicate a certain percentage of campaign resources to it.

This is such a hugely important story that flew under the radar nationally due to all the other cuts happening. inthesetimes.com/article/west...

I can't believe I'm saying this, but credit where credit is due appodlachia.substack.com/p/hell-mustv...
