"As of 2015 West Virginia juveniles were confined at a rate of 330 of every 100,000 children, a rate higher than any other state and more than double the national rate."

My insurance, which previously denied my chemotherapy, has denied my radiation that was due to start in 4 hours bc I do not appear to have the amount of cancer they want me to have in order to be approved.
Pay attention WV, the Governor and Legislature told us in January child care was a priority and yet they have done NOTHING as child care center𝚜 close all over the state. Our low workforce participation rate already keep new businesses out of W𝚅!
Miners began marching on Blair Mountain today in 1921.

Making it home safely, having a bed to sleep in, having a fully functioning mind, being alive and healthy, having children.. I can go on & on. There’s so much we take for granted
The entire population of Gaza is traumatized beyond measure after nearly 11 months of genocide. Over 2 million people will likely never feel or be safe again, but we’re supposed to believe simply drawing attention to this makes Zionist Jews “feel unsafe”. Utter fucking depravity.
What’s so upsetting is that if schools want more attendance, they could simply clean the air and keep kids healthy. Instead, they are forcing kids to come to school infectious with a growing list of illnesses. They don’t care about our kids.
Spending this week with our delegation at the DNC has left me in awe of the many inspiring West Virginia women we have doing amazing things in their communities. Tonight, we were joined by @TheSpaceGal—a trailblazing West Virginia woman who will be taking her own inspiring story into literal orbit and making all of us proud in the Mountain State.
The news coming out of Greenbrier County this week is essentially disqualifying for anyone seeking to earn voters’ trust at the ballot box. We learned that @JimJusticeWV has for several months been taking money out of the paychecks of his employees at The Greenbrier intended for their health insurance premiums and using it for other purposes. As a result, hundreds of employees may lose their health care coverage next week. These employees lived up to their end of the bargain; @WVGovernor has not. He has instead diverted $2.4 million of their hard-earned money to satisfy other obligations he has been failing to meet. It’s all about what’s best for Jim. Does anyone doubt that his own family’s health insurance premiums have been paid while he has placed the benefits of others in jeopardy?
West Virginians simply cannot trust Jim Justice to look out for them in the Senate when he has so clearly lost the distinction between what’s his and what’s theirs. Fortunately, they have a chance to do something about it on November 5. #wvpol
Do not let anyone tell you it's always been the norm to go to school with lice. It has not ever been. That is not how this goes. We used to have people who had, in their job duties, to check for lice and send kids home and notify about outbreaks.
