The State of Texas killed Ivan Cantu last night. I was there with him, standing near his face, holding his hand, and praying into his ear until the chemicals killed him. God's grace was with him and with me.
The DAY after news breaks of a trans/non-binary kid being killed at school in a bathroom and this is the ad @chrismillergov puts out? Hey Chris, we had a kid die in Wayne County last week due to the lack of EMS services. I get you want that easy vote. But this is disgusting.

The beauty and tragedy of West Virginia politics when a Senator cancels a meeting with Black constituents because…… THEY ARE FRYING BOLOGNA ON A GEORGE FORMAN GRILL IN THEIR OFFICE.
in the latest edition of WV legislature sucks HB5483: Appropriating $100,000 to Texas for the purpose of acquiring more razor wire We can’t afford childcare, foster care, education or medicare, but we can definitely send $ to TX to harm immigrants shame on yall!
THREAD: Of the more than 100 land-grant universities in the country, West Virginia State University is the only one that doesn’t have a college of agriculture. That could change, as the governor recently called for sending $50 million to State for a "state-of-the-art" ag lab.
Frederick Douglass said, “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” If our policies to address student behavioral issues focus only on classroom disruptions instead of what is causing them, we risk their bright futures. wvgazettemail.com/opinion/op_ed_…
It’s that time of the year in WV where we get to watch a bunch of people who pretend to hate government expand it to limit health care in objectively one of the unhealthiest states in America. Godspeed to anyone having anything to do with these people over the next two months.
hell is empty, and all the devils are here
This morning marked the beginning of the “last day” that millions in Gaza had been fearfully awaiting. The bombing has continued. The death toll continues to rise. The violence persists while the world watches in horror. This must end. We need a permanent ceasefire now.
Who is writing about the rapid turn to fascism in the US? People are being doxxed and fired for saying things that actual Israelis in Israel are saying. We have to sound the alarms because we know the Freeze Peach crowd will not say anything bc they’re behind this shit!
Not that it will do much but I have called all of my congressional representatives asking them to speak out against the war crimes being committed against Palestine
While it is true that Staff Council released a survey this week, it is upsetting that it took them until this far along in the Academic Transformation process to do any sort of outreach or communication with staff—staff jobs were impacted months ago.
"We call on Staff Council to work with Classified Staff to create a better communication,accountability,and participation process, and explain why the Staff Council Chair did not stand with faculty and students in voting against the layoffs." #WVUMistake aftacademics.org/wvcw-updates/
Here's a sentence one could only read in the capitalocene: "This implies that microplastics may have become an essential component of clouds, contaminating nearly everything we eat and drink via ‘plastic rainfall’” aljazeera.com/news/2023/9/28…
Deregulation strikes again: From the late 1930s through the ’70s, the federal government regulated airlines as a public utility. The Civil Aeronautics Board decided which airlines could fly what routes and how much they could charge. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

WVU will lose 28 majors, 143 faculty. “We plan on squeezing the $45M out almost immediately,” Pres. Gee said following the vote, which eliminated the university’s foreign language degrees and math graduate degrees for future students. westvirginiawatch.com/2023/09/15/des…

Years of research from experts who’ve published countless well-written analyses on this topic vs. … a guy with an oversized check talking for a minute. One party rule is what got WV in the mess it’s in. And it’s absolutely what will keep us here.
BIG IF TRUE: West Virginia workers on pace to keep $4 billion MORE of their hard-earned paychecks by 2028 thanks to historic tax cuts. We are glad to see working families have more money to offset the failed #Bidenomics agenda. #WVpol
*MAJOR FRIDAY NEWS DUMP!* 🎉 Excited to share that my third book — and first academic book — is under contract with Duke U Press 🎉 THE COSMOS IS A BLACK AESTHETIC will theorize science as a Black episteme using Black thought, feminist studies, philosophy, & history of science.
I can announce that, as of this morning, I am officially pursuing an MA in Public History! While this was not the path I assumed I'd be on a year ago, I am looking forward to the opportunity to study and research Appalachian History.
Notice the “listen to Black women” crowd has gotten kind of quiet since Black women started explaining why the injustice in Palestine looks familiar to them
SHARE posts like this. Share and let people see that the world is screaming for justice. Let this encourage you to keep going, in whatever you can do!
At least 100,000 people are marching in London right now, demanding an immediate end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Who is writing about the rapid turn to fascism in the US? People are being doxxed and fired for saying things that actual Israelis in Israel are saying. We have to sound the alarms because we know the Freeze Peach crowd will not say anything bc they’re behind this shit!
Interested in carrying out a high profile affair on your wife? Slurring gay people and drunk driving? Sexually harassing women half your age? Good news! HD Media (Doug Skaff's Home for Irresponsible Men) is hiring.
Former West Virginia University men's basketball coach Bob Huggins has a new gig for the upcoming season. Huggins will be an analyst on the Full Court Press weekly college basketball show, presented by HD Media: wvgazettemail.com/news/former-wv…
The 2 main constituencies organizing for Gaza right now are Palestinians whose family members are under the bombs, and progressive American Jews, many of whom lost family in the Hamas attack. This is an incredible coalition that should give everyone courage. No excuse, speak up.
