Kentuckians, learn about SB 89, a devastating bill that allows unprecedented pollution in our water. Then let your reps know you want them to uphold the governor’s veto. Please, this is our last chance to stop this bill. legislature.ky.gov/Pages/contac....

Urgent Action. Kentuckians: I am a private citizen begging you for help. Please give me sixty seconds to explain why. The Ky General Assembly has passed a bill that endangers us all by allowing unregulated pollution into our water supply. Luckily, our governor has vetoed SB 89… 1/3

If SB 89 passes Kentucky will be the only state that has no water regulations. Kentuckians, I beg you to research this bill & contact your rep. Water is our greatest natural resource & should be protected at all costs. The message board is: 1-800-372-7181 or apps.legislature.ky.gov/findyourlegi...

In 2022 44 people died in the Eastern Kentucky floods. @jdvance1.bsky.social didn't show his face there. Now, 12 people are confirmed dead so far and he hasn’t uttered a word about it. Vance only uses Appalachian Kentucky when it benefits him. And #HesNotFromHere

A bill that allows more pollution to go into Kentucky waterways has passed the Senate. It will advance to the House this week. There is still time to do your research and let your legislator know how you feel. I believe that water is our most precious natural resource, so 1/2

THE BRUTALIST is always beautiful to look at (the colors, the film grain, the cinematography, the landscapes, the faces), it is enigmatic, and everyone is great but Felicity Huffman is phenomenal. I think I love it but it’ll take some time to process. m.youtube.com/watch?v=GdRX...
