From my recent experience, the police took me to the local city jail (credit to HBPD, they were polite and professional the entire time), where they searched me and put me in a cell. Then I had to wait while they figured out what I was getting charged with (disrupting an assembly)

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

From Pikeville Community Foundation: “We are heartbroken… All donations that we receive from now until April 30th will be designated for immediate needs for flood recovery efforts. Donations can be made here: bit.ly/PikevilleCFD.... Thank you,”.

Here is the link to East KY Dream Centers donation page if you would like to share it. They are an honest group and helping a lot of folks right now. They are also taking up collections of water, baby supplies, and cleaning supplies. No clothes. www.ekdc.info/donate

Much of the central US, from Wyoming to Kentucky and back down to Texas, is blanketed in winter storm watches and warnings, as well as winter weather advisories. Very active and cold week ahead. #WxSky

Jamie Raskin explains the fraud of Elon Musk. youtu.be/LtzTO4a83NY?...

Our Kentucky State Parks always open their doors to our neighbors in need. At Jenny Wiley State Park, I heard from families who have lost so much, yet felt at home thanks to the kindness of our team. I know their impact will never be forgotten. I’m so grateful.

Okay, we’ve got buckets going to Pikeville and beanie babies going to shelters with children. Checking in on two of the nursing homes that were evacuated, where the residents ended up and what they might need. Keep you posted! #kentuckyfloodsagain

Build the wall! Around DOGE!

They specifically built this house high off the ground to be flood resilient. That’s because they lost their last one in a mudslide about two years ago. “We thought we were safe and it still took the house again,” Neace said. “It’s kind of hard to start rebuilding after two and three times.”

Pike County, about 3.5 hours east of Louisville, got some of the worst of the state's weather issues this weekend.

How high's the water, Mama? Three feet high and rising. How high's the water, Papa? She said, three feet high and rising.

So much "winning" under Trump...😂🤣🤣 Time for all of our trading partners to find alternative markets to the United States until Trump is ousted...

Wow.

The National Weather Service says two to four inches of rain, including thunderstorms, are expected Saturday and Sunday. That could mean higher river levels, flash floods and areal floods.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

As always, an excellent history lesson from @hcrichardson.bsky.social that helps us understand the nation in which we live today. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

“There’s nothing wrong with a review of aid spending – this happens regularly. But existing programming should have been allowed to continue while the review is carried out.”

One week after the fall where my head hit the concrete, I have mostly healed from the bruising and whiplash, and now have a diagnosis: Post-concussion Syndrome. CT scan came out fine. I’m fine. Just constant headache & insomnia (can’t sleep over four hours), sensitive to bright light and noises.

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t. Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID! Stand with USAID: share this counter-ad…

It’s official!

My fellow Kentuckians, who re-elected Trump last year by a 30-point margin, have one of the nation's highest rates of cancer and heart disease.

Repeat after me: A crime spree, not a coup. A con man, not a dictator. 👇 open.substack.com/pub/reframin...

Can’t trust a google search… anymore. Anything I’ve googled this morning sends me to a link where someone posted about it on “X”. Back to paper, books and encyclopaedias, I guess! #elonmuskhasruinedtheinternet
