As the Supreme Court has grown more powerful, so have individual justices who have unchecked lifetime tenure. This is no way to run a democracy.
Tell Congress: We need Supreme Court term limits now ⬇️

💯 and Alan’s a pretty good storyteller as well…for a former reporter and baseball-book writing junkie. #TwilightInHazard #Appalachia #EastKentucky #OpioidCrisis #Rural #Coal #MineSafety
Very gratifying to hear Barbara Kingsolver repeat many of the talking points of “Twilight in Hazard” in her recent interview with Ezra Klein. Check it out if you’re looking for a non-fiction counterpart to “Demon Copperhead.”

Three Delco men are serving life sentences for a 1997 murder their lawyers say they didn't commit.
Using modern DNA analysis, they're rejuvenating their fight for new trials.
Now on @PhillyInquirer

For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show.
The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇

We have replaced 35 bridges in Eastern Kentucky, and repaired another 22 bridges impacted by July's deadly floods. We've also installed 42 temporary crossings on county roads.
This infrastructure is crucial to these communities and we are making this work a priority. @KYTC

Today, Martin Lucio Santillan is exonerated after a 1998 capital murder conviction in Dallas.
It’s been more than 25 years since he was wrongly arrested in ‘97.
Creuzot says advancement in DNA tests proved he’s innocent. “Mr. Santillan should never have been convicted.” @wfaa

My favorite Disney movie remains 1979’s critically acclaimed “Honey, I Shrunk Dave Winfield.”

highly recommend @alanmaimon's newish book "Twilight in Hazard" where he discusses the hollowness of this kind of political rhetoric.
The book is packed with fascinating nuggets on KY & EKY, and scores bonus points for taking to task bad takes from JD Vance and Malcolm Gladwell – at Louisville, KY
Unconscionable. Energy security is national security. Kentucky knows that coal keeps the lights on. As your Governor, I’ll never put our energy security in danger. courier-journal.com/story/ne…

💯 the #LegacyOfCoal is definitely a factor in the devastating floods happening in #EastKY right now + #ClimateChange contributing to more frequent and harsher #ExtremeWeatherEvents @TeriBlanton

I really hope you guys will read this. I’ve been working on it a while.
It really shows – in a sort of shocking microscopic way -- what inevitably happens when you incentivize criminalization of people for profit. (1/12)
