Caroline Fohlin, an economics professor at @EmoryUniversity, was thrown to the ground, her head slammed into the sidewalk, and violently arrested by raging cops after questioning why students were being arrested. We’ve seen this before, remember?
This is not ok Missouri #moleg Missourians should be able to change our laws by a majority vote if our elected officials fail us. It’s been this way for decades and there is no reason to change it

They are dismantling our state one piece at a time, and it's heartbreaking. More and more often I am not sure if I feel more rage at the Republicans doing it or the powerful Democrats I see standing by and looking away as it happens. One of those is what we expect; one isn't.
These are issues I wish our lawmakers would focus on. A periodic reminder that Republicans have been in control for 20 years

I am disappointed with our leadership every damn day. This is absolutely ridiculous

I don't know how to raise my daughter in a country where the Supreme Court is debating how many organs are ok for women to lose before providing healthcare

Can teachers sell their state-issued guns and use the money for classroom supplies and snacks for undernourished kids? Asking for a few thousand friends in TN.
I feel like this is a good day to remind district 130 that our rep and my opponent interned with the Heritage Foundation. I have a hard time believing someone associated with this organization has the best interests of Missourians in mind

And it will sadly continue to happen
Was just told that I was much nicer than the last person gathering petition signatures outside of the library when they told me no. Come on people…. That isn’t the way to make a change. Be nice, be kind, if they say no, thank them and let them move on #endthebanMO
We are on the last week to gather signatures Missouri. Don’t wait until it’s too late #EndTheBanMO

Republicans in the Senate are holding the entire state budget hostage until the House meets their demands to cut funding for birth control and to make it harder for Missourians to vote on ballot questions. The GOP’s attacks on women’s health will never end. #moleg

Vouchers defund public schools in two main ways: By shrinking the pool of general fund available for state aid, as taxpayers pay new costs for already-private schoolers. And 👇 as local districts lose small numbers of kids while stuck with the check of fixed operating costs.

A Senator who brags about opposing earmarks to his own state, and votes against other spending for his own state, now complains about “not a penny for Missouri.” Look in the mirror, jack-🫏

We’ve cancelled our volunteer phone banks for this weekend and highly encourage all those who can to go out and collect signatures for the Reproductive Freedom initiative petition. It’s a beautiful day to do it! You can find volunteer opportunities at mobilize.us/mfcf
This was a rough week paying attention to Missouri politics. I’m gonna disappear into my gardens for the remainder of the evening. I hope you all take some time to recharge this weekend as well 💙
I had a blast talking with @prideforMO this past week!

@orwig_kris Someone else mentioned her and I wasn't even thinking of her when I posted this, but she's the biggest example of "who thought this was a good idea?"
@AngelOfTheOzark Running the suburban beer heiress for the Senatorial seat was the definition of “Didn’t read the room.” Still can’t get over that.
It doesn't have to be this hard. We owe it to ourselves to lift up these people. We organize.
@AngelOfTheOzark I live in 6, have tried to get the party involved, and can’t even get a return phone call. I won a city council seat, on a MAGA council and mayor, as a Democrat, all on my own, with no help or interest from the state party.
“Mark my words, this will be defeated," Nurrenbern said of the initiative petition bill. “Our folks in suburban districts are going to be coming out in record numbers to make sure that all of you know that they’re not going to be tricked.” #moleg missouriindependent.com/2024/04/25/mis…
@lesliejones4mo @MalachiteRiot But those problems are hard to solve Leslie. Those problems might require someone, to, gasp, pay taxes. Those problems might actually require non-partisan solutions. We can't have any of that.
@lesliejones4mo Never a good idea to shield a manufacture! In fact one that would want to be in such a place is very suspect!
They are dismantling our state one piece at a time, and it's heartbreaking. More and more often I am not sure if I feel more rage at the Republicans doing it or the powerful Democrats I see standing by and looking away as it happens. One of those is what we expect; one isn't.
It’s so hard sometimes to listen to Rs like @BenBakerMO lie on the floor over and over again with such inflammatory rhetoric and not be allowed to reply. But sometimes these guys aren’t worth the effort anyway. Voters need to start answering with elections. November is coming…
@DerrickNowlinMO @Richardson4MO AND that’s why MO. CAN’T have nice things, our @mogop !!!!!!
The GOP put the matching funds rule into the state budget. The infrastructure funds come from federal grants with no matching funds required. A lot of good could be done in the state, if the GOP supermajority wasn't holding the budget process, and all of us, hostage.
Match rules limit spending of Missouri’s federal infrastructure funds as deadlines loom #moleg #mogov via @RudiKellerMI missouriindependent.com/2024/04/23/mat…
"How do we make it better for ______ in Missouri?" Pretty simple folks. Support people like Maggie - Rep. Nurrenbern is running for State Senate. Listen to her, here, to get to know her and then support her run for office. We're in an "All Maggies On Deck" situation.
Care about public education in MO? Take a listen to the latest episode of @TheHeartlandPOD. Care about breaking the supermajority in #moleg? Give a follow to all of us in the Swing Senate Seats! @perelesforMO @RobertESauls @s_webber @MaggieforMO @MajorityFwdMO @MoSenDems
Here for it. 1) Forces at least some accountability when there would be none 2) it's not about one election, it's about building a movement I'm very okay with Democrats being contested too. Look at all the fundraising it did for @s_webber when Chuck Basye entered the race.
We run Democrats everywhere, not because they will win everywhere, but because we can’t win when we don’t compete. We fund candidates we know won’t win in a single cycle because if we ask someone to step up, it’s only moral to have their back. Join us! bluemissouri.org
Can teachers sell their state-issued guns and use the money for classroom supplies and snacks for undernourished kids? Asking for a few thousand friends in TN.
700 projects funded and MO got one. ONE! In the MO-6. How much outreach did Eric's office do to let OUR farmers in the 7th know that there were dollars available to help lower their energy costs? How about some job creation? Bro has got to go! #MissiforMO
GOP infighting at the state level threaten infrastructure $$. GOP infighting at the federal level threaten national security. When people complain that nothing gets done in government, his is why. Republicans can’t govern. They can win elections. But they cannot govern.
@lesliejones4mo Heritage, Herzog, Federalist Society. These organizations have waaayyyyyy too much power in MO and in our Govt in general.
Don’t overlook what’s happening in other districts simply because you don’t live there. It all plays a part in the big picture friends
I feel like this is a good day to remind district 130 that our rep and my opponent interned with the Heritage Foundation. I have a hard time believing someone associated with this organization has the best interests of Missourians in mind
National Dem Platform: Reach down to help those struggling most & being left behind. National Dem Party / Players: Only step in to help candidates & districts that are performing up near the tipping point. Am I pushy? Yes. Does Missouri deserve someone pushing? Also yes.
