We did the tedious, mundane, and frustrating things. We do this because while it might seem pointless, we concede nothing to these fossil fuel corporations and the so-called regulators burning our future.

Roughly one-third of the "adults" in this country lining up at the boot buffet. Pathetic.

Would you approve or disapprove of President Trump invoking the Insurrection Act in response to recent protests against ICE actions in Minnesota, which would authorize his use of the military under certain circumstances during civil unrest? Twenty two percent strongly approve. Thirteen percent somewhat approve.

Happy New Year. I hope it starts quietly and stays that way for as long as possible.

Good morning, SWVA. Charge your devices and fill your water containers. Flood rains followed by 50 MPH winds will leave many of us in the dark. Again.
