The Onion still undefeated

We are in the golden age of American politics

McMorrow is peddling talking points that centrist and right-wing accounts have been pushing relentlessly about Hasan. It’s dishonest, deeply cynical, and appear to be a coordinated smear against Abdul El-Sayed.

Elizabeth Warren endorses Graham Platner

It's going to get harder and harder as time goes by, but always be reminding people that Israel and the United States literally *chose* to do all this Iran was not presenting an imminent threat to either of them, or the Gulf, before they killed their head of state 19 days ago

I've done it. I've found the most Appalachian man to ever exist. He is a 14-year-old named Ray Burracher, who tried to give President Herbert Hoover a possum and advised him on acquiring hogs to take care of a snake problem.

Platner is for the overwhelmingly popular policies that many Americans are begging for. Mills, on the other hand, is a symbol of the Democratic Party establishment that is polling worse than ICE.

Every single Democrat who has ANY hesitation whatsoever with giving the pentagon MORE money for the war in Iraq has absolutely no business in public office. It’s that simple. No more senseless, stupid wars.

“They’re supposed to ask what the community wants — and I haven’t heard one person say the tunnel. This is not a real solution.” NASHVILLE folks at the Sen. Oliver & Councilwoman Porterfield town hall overwhelmingly oppose Elon’s teslas-only tunnel.

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...

Abolish ICE. 100% of our profits will be donated to the TN Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition appodlachia.dashery.com/products/865...

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

What are some terms you use that people have a different word for? For example, some people call it a shopping cart, others call it a buggy

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 have great merch appodlachia.dashery.com

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

Crushing these tonight when we’re finally finished unloading the moving truck
