#SCOTUS just affirmed that sexual orientation and gender identity are protected under the Civil Right Act. Hello @ParkersburgCity now there is no excuse to be #PKBDeadLast.
Congratulations to Jeanne Peters President of @OutMov for making the list!

Who is feeling safe in downtown Parkersburg now that we have the #MarketStreetMilitia or as Wood County Sheriff Steve Stephens calls them "our civilian backup" ? #NOCivilianBackup Downtown PKB
Unfortunately, #Parkersburg has dropped...from a humiliatingly low of 20, to an even more dangerous low of 13. #howlowcanyougo this is not in the right direction!
#DarkWaters story is significant for @expatalachians, as most of us grew up near the DuPont contamination. For us, the movie is less a revelation than the culmination of a 20-year fight for the truth. And yet, the fight is far from over #WV#OH#Appalachia

Let's give a huge congratulations to Huntington for earning a perfect score on the HRC's Municipal Equality Index this year! We can't wait to see Charleston earn a perfect score next year. https://t.co/5NodnJC52z
Big news: The AMA finally called to ban conversion therapy nationwide. Our state needs to step up and finally ban this horrendous abuse that masquerades as therapy. All LGBTQ children were born perfect, and they don't need to be "fixed." https://t.co/eKuwZV3kaw
If WV lawmakers don’t like portrayal as polluters in @MarkRuffalo@DarkWatersMovie then they shouldn’t pass bills like Cancer Creek bill in 2018 & refuse to enforce EPA H2O quality standards in 2019 on basis WVians are so fat we can handle larger doses of carcinogens in our water

It doesn’t have to be like this.
Black + indigenous women are going missing every day. I repeat BLACK AND INDIGENOUS WOMEN ARE GOING MISSING EVERYDAY! It’s terrifying. No one is listening to the black/brown voices that have been outspoken about this issue for years. We need to listen. We need to act now. #MMIW
I-Team Investigates... if "investigates" means showing up to a single public hearing and doing no good-faith research past what is said there (and spelling the name of the PSD wrong throughout).
😒 Thanks for picking up on our reporting @KennieBassWCHS

Let’s talk about ectopic pregnancies. A THREAD.
Ohio’s Bill 182 would stop insurance companies from paying for abortion services, including any drug or device “used to prevent the implantation of a fertilized ovum.” That includes coverage of ectopic pregnancies. 1/n
The US is the only developed nation where pregnancy-related deaths are increasing. Women giving birth today are 50% more likely than their mothers to die during or after pregnancy. Extending postpartum Medicaid coverage could help stop preventable deaths. https://t.co/6kO8AVdnjM
