- Been a busy few days…
- Missouri is controlled by politicians who do the bidding of the billionaires. We voted for progressive ballot amendments because we have a progressive population. We voted in Republican lawmakers because we didn’t have a choice — they weren’t contested. jesspiper.substack.com/p/unconteste...
- I will be in Joplin on May 31 at the library at 2 PM. I’d love to see you there.
- No, you’re not crazy. They are deporting brown people and importing white people.
- Just the Kansas Republican party celebrating mothers by shooting arrows into their back…
- I spoke at an Empty Seat Townhall for Congressman Sam Graves in Marceline, Missouri, population 2K. Sam hasn’t met with constituents since 2012. He’s been in DC for 24 years. This group would like to send him home.
- I’ve said this so many times I’m nearly blue in the face, but even rural Democrats don’t want moderate policies. The only people calling for moderate policies are Republicans — Democrats get scared when they hear them say we should be more moderate. Don’t. Swing left. Swing hard.
- my kingdom for anyone on the “dems should take culturally moderate positions” to explain what this actually means in practice? www.thebulwark.com/p/hard-calls...
- Police cars should be marked and Ice agents should not be be masked.
- It was never about protecting women. It’s actually all about harassing women and harming women, and keeping us in our place… it’s about control.
- I had some new headshots taken, and my donkey would not get out of the way, so I ended up taking a couple with him. Gus❤️
