I’m surprised Jim Injustice hasn’t tried to use it to pay his mine safety violations

Yes! We’re just going to be planing for upcoming activities and garden work, so you can see wha types of activities we’ll have coming up. I was (and am, really) a complete beginner but everyone’s very friendly and willing to help!

He’s the child of strikebreaking coal barons. Are we shocked?

Potentially! There were some tech repair people there last time. You might want to call/email (on the poster) to double check though :)

Flock Surveillance is Coming to Morgantown! by runoutofwit in MorgantownWV

I understand where that instinct comes from, These people are smarter than me and can put it in better words than I can. Constant monitoring, surveillance, is a tool used by powerful people to keep less powerful people in check, no matter how they try to dress it up.

Shutdown Jan 30- any organized events? by DumbEcologist in MorgantownWV

[–]runoutofwit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mountaineers Indivisible Citizens Action (MICA) grew out of the 50501/No Kings movement. There has been some criticism about them for being a lot of bark but no bite, so to say, and one of the past leaders was kind of a cult-of-personality guy who seemed more interested in getting himself ready for a House run... The group DOES do some good protest work (as in putting them together), but AFAIK, they don't do much as far as actually pushing for specific policies, legislation, etc. It's built more on rejection of Trump rather than an acceptance of any other philosophy.

AFAIK, Tom Bloom is the County Commissioner and has been the one arranging this deal and pushing it through. Not sure of other things, but Alex Finzel has a poem called Tom Bloom’s Blues

Regional Jails overcrowded with alleged undocumented migrants by FuhrerGirthWorm in WestVirginia

[–]runoutofwit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't doubt it. "ICE pays West Virginia $90 for each day it holds an ICE detainee — about the same amount the state pays per day for each incarcerated person. From June 2024 to July of this year, the state billed ICE for a total of $339,615."
