I'm proud to have been raised in an area rich with diversity; to be aware and curious about our differences AND similarities, and to embrace both. We are not born with hate in our hearts. It's heartbreaking and infuriating that a human would subscribe to such venom. #HateHasNoHomeInMO

Elections matter As a pastor's kid, my early years were spent living literally a stone's throw from my church and to believe in separation of church & state Folks campaigning from the pulpit should pay taxes... just like me, you, & everyone else - regardless of political persuasion.

THIS is why I'm running for Mo's 4th senate district. EVERY Democrat in #MoSen must unequivocally support reproductive rights (& voting "yes" for HB126 - the bill that triggered the statewide ban after Dobbs - doesn't cut it)

I (& other Dems) filed #Medicaid expansion proposals, as did at least one GOP Rep. But bc #MoLeg's GOP majority refused to move any expansion bill forward, MO ended up being 1 of 3 states with expansion in its constitution - with serious ramifications should federal Medicaid funding decrease.

Despite knowing the people on the search warrant weren't there, the ICE arrest team STILL took this family's phones, laptops, and life savings — and refused to leave a BUSINESS CARD so they could ask to get it back! This stuff is sadly not unique to ICE; it happens with regular police raids too.
She said the agents didn’t care.

“They were very dismissive, very rough, very careless,” she said. “I kept pleading. I kept telling them we weren’t criminals. They were treating us like criminals. We were here by ourselves. We didn’t do anything.”

Marisa said the agents tore apart every square inch of the house and what few belongings they had, seizing their phones, laptops and their life savings in cash as “evidence.”

“I told them before they left, I said you took my phone. We have no money. I just moved here,” she said. “I have to feed my children. I’m going to need gas money. I need to be able to get around. Like, how do you just leave me like this? Like an abandoned dog.”

I agree. Southwest cancelling free bags, changing reward travel, etc. makes it just like every other airline. It may keep the name, but not the brand

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

The role of an elected board (or legislator) is NOT to rubber stamp what is presented. School board members (and all electeds) should be ENCOURAGED to ask questions to gain a full understanding of the mounds of info that can be presented.

Because MoLeg would not expand Medicaid itself (I was ranking member of a 2013 traveling committee & spent YEARS working on it), and because MoLeg has an awful history of overturning voters' will on statutory changes by initiative petition, Medicaid expansion is a constitutional requirement.
