When I say WV will NOT be ignored, I mean it. If they won't listen in the meeting halls, #RattleTheWindows of their yachts! We called @Sen_JoeManchin out of his yacht for some truth time.

We need to think of each other as sisters and brothers, and to be concerned with each other’s welfare. We must seek to lessen the suffering of others. Rather than working to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, directed toward the welfare of humanity as a whole.

In 11 days we will blockade the coal plant that burns Manchin’s coal. We need to mobilize enough people for the blockade to hold. Can you RT and follow up make that happen?

It's a hail mary moment for @CharlestonWV. Just over 24 hrs left to in-person register your run for Council. Reminder: this city has 20 wards, most races are STILL 100% uncontested. Charleston Can't Wait is still looking for help with these wards. Pls share, pls nominate.

Please don’t judge or dismiss the people from places like West Virginia and Kentucky because of your contempt for our U.S. Senators. Despite being lied to, ignored, abandoned, robbed and left behind, we are strong, resilient, and standing together to take our power back.

Some of my favorite WVians include: Nick Saban, Homer Hickum, Kathrine Johnson, John C. Norman, Booker T Washington, Chuck Yeager, Mary Lou Retton, Jerry West, and hundreds of other innovators and gamechangers. But go ahead and tell me how ignorant and strung out we are...

Today West Virginians held a vigil at Manchin's office. Numerous local groups&UMWA put out statements in support of Build Back Better. These folks have been working for months to get Manchin on board with life-saving funds for their families. They're heartbroken but not stopping.

.@Sen_JoeManchin's announcement that he will not support the Build Back Better Act is a devastating blow to WV’s families, workers, small businesses, & state economy. We call on Sen. Manchin to return to the negotiating table to find a solution that prioritizes his constituents.

🎥 Sally Roberts, a senior in West Virginia, responds to Manchin’s news: “He’s not only leaving us in bad shape; he’s leaving us in worse shape! We’ve given him our feelings, our thoughts, our needs — and he still hasn’t responded.”
.@JulieNBCNews is on the ground in Charleston, West Virginia with the latest on what Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin's constituents think about him opposing @POTUS's Build Back Better plan. @MSNBC

Hi @Sen_JoeManchin, I’m a family doc in Huntington who works with people living in poverty and/or addiction. From your words I can see that you don’t know much about your constituents. Here’s an open invitation to come work with me and meet actual WV’s.

BREAKING: Joe Manchin secretly tells colleagues that his real problem with the Child Tax Credit in Build Back Better is that he doesn't trust low-income people to use it properly and thinks they'll just buy drugs with the money. RT IF YOU THINK MASERATI MANCHIN IS A DISGRACE!

"He is not only leaving us in bad shape or in the same shape, he's leaving us in worse shape," West Virginia resident Sally Roberts tells @JulieNBCNews, after Sen. Manchin said he can't support the Build Back Better bill.
