We have to stop bills that make it harder to have your vote count. Full stop. This week, #ksleg comes back for veto session. This means they will be taking the final vote on some bad bills. SB209 is one of those- here’s part 1 of why we oppose it. Part 2 in 🧵
Marjorie Taylor Greene posted an altered photo of Lindsay Graham holding a Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light beer can from her official Congressional account.
Oil prices in April 2010: $85.66/barrel Gas prices in April 2010: $2.85/gallon Oil prices now: $85.90/barrel Gas prices now: $3.85/gallon This is the result of price gouging and corporate greed.
#FunFact Reminder that #FloridaMan @GovRonDeSantis locked down Florida schools BEFORE Governor Laura Kelly, AND endorsed Derek Schmidt. Never let the facts get in the way of a dishonest political campaign.

Uh...no...they were to make someone money. Its failing. They are hemorrhaging money. The market was just not there. Your altruistic take fails also.

The thalamocortical fibers don’t penetrate the cortical plate until 22-24 weeks. No studies show fetal recognition of pain. Let’s see if I have this right. You are lying for political gain and to oppress those who can get pregnant.

Pat Tillman was killed by "friendly fire" with 3 shots to the head from 10 yards, his unit burned his possessions and journal to cover up, then the cover up went to the highest levels. Honor him by telling the truth. He was murdered for expressing anti-war sentiment.
Dave Trabert over at the Kansas Policy Institute routinely misleads this way.
Fox and the Republicans are losing their minds over Joe Biden calling MAGA "semi-fascist." But they'd never call their political opponents "fascists," right? Right?? You'll be shocked, shocked I tell you! Roll the tape:

You know as the criminal vise tightens, Trump will intensify what he knows best: grievance, persecution, endless excuses, blaming others. With that in mind, I share with you my summary of the ridiculous crying of the rich boy who was given everything. 1/18 america.substack.com/p/grievance-pe…

Tap on window of offending driver and tell them to move, if they don’t, write hefty ticket immediately. If car is unoccupied, ticket right away. That would help solve problems. Better signage needed too. Time to step up to the big leagues, KCI. kansascity.com/news/local/art…
@ThatEricAlper boy there are some good ones, Floating Bridge, an old blues song. EC covered it. But I'll go with Lightfoot Edmund Fitzgerald, one of THE best in that genre. Check out old Johnny Horton, the Bismarck, Battle of New Orleans, "we ran through the brambles" North to Alaska C&W master
Serious question. Are decent, tolerant white people completely fed up with racist white people’s (MAGA’s) bigoted bullshit?
Just exactly what kind of anti @GOP @TexasGOP pro-#woke stuff are they pushing in Texas? "Thou shalt not kill." ❌ Welp, turn in your guns, because they are quite effective at killing. "Thou shalt not commit adultery." ❌ Doesn't get much more anti-@realDonaldTrump than that!
Absolutely crazy. Today the Texas Senate passed a bill to force every public school classroom in the state to prominently display a copy of the Ten Commandments. They also passed a bill to set prayer and bible reading times during the school day.
I got a call from United Health Care & they tried to see how to "maximize" my benefits, & by "maximize" they meant a Medicare Advantage plan. I said I'm very HAPPY with Traditional Medicare. Don NOT let ANYONE talk you a Medicare Advantage no matter what they promise!
I wonder if folks realize how cringe they sound when they use the word “woke”. #ksleg
KS Senate President Ty Masterson derided @GovLauraKelly's veto of the gender-affirming care ban this way: “By any reasonable standard, governing from the middle of the road should include ensuring vulnerable children do not become victims of woke culture run amok." #ksleg

fwiw I think most people who are pro gun reform aren't anti-gun, there's a lot of common ground with responsible gun owners and gun reform advocates
@bell_rbell I go with friends who hunt. I actually like shooting, I have my rifle and shotgun merit badges (along with archery and fishing) as an eagle scout. I'm not anti-gun, I just don't want to own one myself.
@davetrabert @Forbes @Kerry_edu The microschool’s own website states they’ll teach school just three days per week this fall. At that rate it will take 62 weeks for those kids to have 186 days of schooling.
@PeteMundo Pete Mundo accusing anyone else of being a divisive hack is beyond hypocritical. Look in the mirror, buddy.
@PeteMundo The division in KC started decades ago when suburban areas like the Northland were built to serve white flight. What’s really sad and pathetic is that you don’t know local history.
If you’re driving on a two lane street, and something is blocking your lane and you have to go into the other one to get around, that does not, in fact, give you right-of-way over any oncoming traffic.
Did everyone fill out their tax forms correctly, or did we all just kind of “Clarence Thomas” it this year?
@lyzl At varying points in our marriage, my wife has earned more money than me and the sum total of my attitude to that was “cool, more money”

Pete—no one cares about your opinion, especially on this issue. You support, fund, and uplift institutions that allowed for this to happen. No one wants to hear your fake sentiment regarding Ralph when you have a track record of not supporting Black lives and our issues.
Can we get an investigation with a police report, big guy? Not a big ask. There doesn't appear to be two sides to this story, but social media/mob justice ain't how this works. And I question the motives of those around the fundraiser, not Ralph. Heartbreaking. Stop twisting.
Even my husband, a natl bank examiner, is convinced that numbers matter after experiencing up to 16, 3-5 yr olds in the Sun Sch class we team teach compared to 6. He lets anyone who disagrees know that they are WRONG!
WHY DOES CLASS SIZE MATTER? #EdChat •Teachers have LESS time to support students individually and build necessary relationships •MORE behavior issues •MORE assignments, tests to check (feedback) •FEWER opportunities for enrichment activities
