@erinjamesbrown@PodSaveAmerica@TVietor08 Don’t give up! We were describing West Virginia politics as they currently are, but that’s not what they have to be in the future. You can help change things!
I look to smart ppl like @jonfavs@TVietor08@jonlovett & @danpfeiffer for hope in what's possible. So, don't give up on my new home. I look forward to joining the William Barbers, Betos, and Raphael Warnocks of my new home. Or maybe, if necessary, becoming one of them for WV.
Listening to @PodSaveAmerica, which I love, and disappointed to hear @jonfavs and @TVietor08 dismiss WV. I am a proud Chicagoan moving to WV in a few weeks and I am worried but determined to organize my neighbors. Giving up on any state and fellow Americans is not an option.
Dismissing West Virginia voters is like dismissing Texans 10 years ago or Georgians 7 years ago. Reaching non-voters, registering voters, and convincing people that Democrats represent them well is possible, but requires faith in each other and work.
If a news outlet does not reflect our values (hearing from diverse voices and stories) we can move on to other news outlets.I wanna know what NPR is doing to clean up its act, create a culture of care for its employees from marginalized backgrounds, and honor it’s listeners.
On #WorldPressFreedomDay I want to say I support free press and I am DISAPPOINTED at my fav news outlet @NPR. I love the mission of NPR but doubt the culture they’ve created is safe, respectful, and understanding for BIPOC and/or queer reports to share information.
The last pledge drive didn’t reach it’s target numbers. Is this related to the loss of really good reporters like @AudieCornish @lourdesgnavarro @michele_norris@samsanders and more? As pledging members of NPR one way we use our power is refusing financial support.
Remembering the women who faithfully fed and anointed Jesus the week before his death. They anticipated and honored what others could not yet understand. #HolyWeek2022#Lent2022
When you’ve been stressing about your sermon all week, search your files and find a close-enough similar sermon and think, “I’m a pretty damn good preacher.” #thanksbetoGod#Lent
