Here I talk about why WV SB 17, the "Fetal Heartbeat Act" by Senator Smith is such a mess. I go over some statistics and counter common arguments made by the right to support abortion banning bills. Then I point out that empowering workers would be more effective. open.substack.com/pub/nolanros...

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

With the passing of WV HB460, it can be assumed that WV will soon have more disease running through our population and especially in our schools. The Anti-Vax propaganda needs serious pushback. ##WVPOLITICS #VACCINES

I have personally submitted FOIA requests to the WV Secretary of State for data that would suggest voter suppression. It's been over a week with no response. Though I doubt Trump would have lost WV, I do suspect dems should have better numbers here than they do. www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-v...

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

With WV Senate Majority Whip Jay Taylor's major failure around Senate Bill 51, I wonder if his constituents could be persuaded to vote blue in 26? When conservative policies get introduced, they are almost always disliked by the public. #WVPOLITICS #ABORTION #NEWS www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-n...

Current moves from Trump's regime to back out of support to EU nations, giving Russia more geopolitical control, will lead to unprecedented destabilizing of the Norther Hemisphere. I fear the regime will use this time to declare war on Canada, Greenland, and others. #Ukraine #Trump #Russia

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

You might have missed it, but Amazon warehouse workers in Raleigh, NC are voting this week on whether to form a union. If they win, they'll be the first unionized Amazon facility in the South. Remember that we can always find hope in the labor movement.
