This Day in Labor History: May 19, 1920. The Matewan Massacre took place in the small town of Matewan, West Virginia. This key event in the coal wars later became famous because of the excellent John Sayles movie. Let's talk about the real story!

Another quote from the interview: "If I can do it, anybody can do it. I’m from West Virginia."

Among the many problems with this, it also ignores the huge number of people still IN West Virginia doing incredible things. As someone FROM West Virginia, I brag about them every day.

Let me see if I got this right, some WV legislators are (i) refusing to protect homeschool kids from suspected child abuse while content to (ii) give their parents a $4,600 voucher for homeschooling and (iii) exempt those parents from education standards & accountability?

New: House Democrats tried to amend a “Women’s Bill of Rights” bill, proposing additions like 8 weeks of paid family leave and giving students feminine hygiene products.
Only one idea -- doing away with the state’s marital rape exemption -- was included. https://t.co/A9dziEkUjH

New: West Virginia’s public schools are likely to lose more than $21.6M with students who have left the system to use the Hope Scholarship for private schools, homeschooling and more.

The Atlantic has a particularly thorough and damning story about the self-inflicted catastrophe at a poor state's flagship university. I think it's the last one I'll read. They make me too sad. (h/t @ameliaknisely) https://t.co/7g2QZH53Vu

The Women’s Health Center of Maryland in Cumberland, roughly 5 miles from West Virginia, will open its doors in June to provide abortions to patients across central Appalachia, a region clinic operators say is an “abortion desert.”

I do not want to live near a university with campus carry. People do not want to send their kids to a campus like that.

This will further alienate us. There will be so much blood on their hands.
