All of you doodle haters can suck it. This is my boy, far left, problem-solving today with another doodle and a hound mix.
The Ice Storm. It was like a movie invaded my ‘70s childhood and made it seem significant. But I still don’t understand adults.
Well my local paper, the one where I once was editor, leads the Sunday edition with a glowing profile of David Hoffman, the new Board chair of Lee Enterprises. He makes a lot of promises, but … 🧵
New level of grifting in MAGA, comparing Walz/Frey to Fauci/Birx. Anything to keep the rage machine fed because the mighty base is hungry.
#RoanokeIndivisible put out the call, and the people showed up — in bitter cold and at one point a windy/snowy squall! I love this city! #ICEOUT
The path to victory for @bethmacy.bsky.social in Congress is lined with doodles!
Absolutely jam-packed house inside Fire Station No. 1 for @bethmacy.bsky.social campaign launch. As the Rev. Bill Lee just said, "Beth's not running against anyone. She's running for us."
The overflow crowd at the @bethmacy.bsky.social for Congress event tonight in Roanoke!
Here’s @lilyfranklin.bsky.social rallying the #NoKings crowd in Roanoke.
The only threat we faced at the Roanoke #NoKings today was heatstroke because let me tell you it was hot wearing a pink frog costume!
Sorry for the dirty window but it’s still a nice autumn Appalacian view from my office at @virginiawestern.bsky.social
Alexa, thank my driver FOR DELIVERING THE BEST, MOST TIMELY, BOOK OF 2025! You’ll cry, but maybe see a path ahead. @bethmacy.bsky.social #papergirl
Scenes from Good Trouble Lives On in Roanoke last night. Only one turd in a truck hassled us, singing, "Ice, ice, baby!" out of his window as he drove by again and again. #goodtrouble #indivisible @roanokeindivisible.bsky.social
I met the sister-in-law of Edvin at the Roanoke #NoKings rally today. Edvin has lived here for 35 years, paying taxes and bought a house. Most recently he’s been painting new Publix stores in Richmond. He goes to gas up his vehicle, ICE swoops in and he’s back in El Salvador. This is not my America.
Popup #handsoff protest in Roanoke this evening had a Good Friday theme. Yes, Jesus flipped tables!
2,000+ in Roanoke, VA, a little blue city surrounded by mountains of red!
