These rallies were in 2019 when the abortion trigger law was signed, 2022 when Dobbs was released, and this week after we successfully got signatures, raised money, and got abortion rights in the state constitution with 52% of the vote and #moleg put it back on the ballot saying we were tricked 🤦‍♀️

Someday Missouri will figure out we mean what we say and we want our rights protected! Thanks @raygunsite.com for the sign inspiration for today #moleg

Republicans in MO have now shown for the second and third time that the will of the voters doesn’t matter to them. First they decided they wouldn’t implement a tax for children’s mental health in my county, now the state legislature did this! #moleg We live in a truly stupid state

Bishop Michael Hunn of the Rio Grande diocese “echoed the Episcopal Church’s presiding bishop, Sean Rowe, who said that in God’s kingdom, immigrants and refugees are not at the edges, fearful and alone, but are the very center of God’s story.”

Military spouse here. I second this

Rep Sam Graves MO6 was a no-show for a Town Hall tonight. Over 100 constituents showed up wanting to talk to him, but he hasn't done a public town hall in our district since 2013. Thank you State Rep Ashley Aune for showing up when your federal counterpart refused #noshow #moleg

Thank you to KCTV5 for highlighting the actions of the Platte County Commission to deny the will of 56% of the voters and our lawsuit to make them implement the Platte County Children’s Services Tax for mental health services for kids, www.kctv5.com/video/2025/0...

Says the man who has played golf 30% of his presidency so far

The financial press is reporting the plan to shift USAID funding from feeding the poor and providing medical care, to shift US AID funds to a hedge fund-run agency to use our tax dollars to help the hedge funds get a leg up on making strategic investments www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Thanks for the laugh! The funniest thing I've read all week

It's a little hard to hear but if you listen carefully you can hear this guy screaming "YOU'RE A FUCKING TRAITOR!!" I'm kidding...Trump heard it too.

Trump promises to "eradicate anti-Christian bias" after his administration spent the first 2.5 weeks attacking Episcopalians, Catholics, & Lutherans (publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/lutherans-...) & is being sued by Quakers & Baptists for wanting to raid churches. Heal thyself!

Called Congressman Sam Graves' local office and had a good convo about why I'm alarmed at Musk's DOGE chaos, talked about accessibility to VA services for many in my family, asked him to stand up for the Legislative branch of our government's enumerated Constitutional authority. Response: Nope

@piperformissouri.bsky.social you’ve been calling this for months

“Dry January” seemed overly ambitious But “Yacht Rock February”… that might work!

Americans are responding. Democrats in the Senate are using their power and voices open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

“We don’t have a 4th branch of government called Elon Musk.” Thank you @raskin.house.gov

Thank you @schatz.bsky.social !! More of this please Dems www.wsj.com/politics/pol...?

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing

She puts on a new costume every day

That is right— a TAX . Any Dem who says tariff instead of TAX isn’t ready for this fight

US official policy is to weaken Canada economically, end Canadian sovereignty and annex Canada to the US

#MoLeg has been in session less than 2 weeks and I’m already aggressively Zillowing other states again

Remember they want you scared. They are desperately trying to terrify us into submission. Federal employees? Yep. Opposition? Yep. Their own Congress? Yep. Figure out what you stand for and stand the fuck up for it.

#Moleg is working hard to discriminate against Missouri citizens while avoiding important work that would benefit our community. I hope @missouridemocrats.bsky.social will stand firm in opposition

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

The Resistance is strong! #Resist

This visual from The Daily Show is absolute gold. All the things Trump said or did to the fine folks he had to sit with. 🤣 Including his wife.

My head is spinning - and this is a concise rundown of today!

It’s ok to feel sick over the state of things.

The Platte County MO Commission believes they have the right to disregard the will of a majority of county voters and refuse to enact a Children’s Services Fund for youth mental health passed by 56% of the voters. On the day of another midwestern school shooting www.kansascity.com/news/local/a...
