Talk to me about protecting your rights and making good trouble. Advocacy Director at Loud Light in KS. She/her

Welp, since that other app is being overrun by Nazis, I guess I better warm this social up before #ksleg session starts.
Follow me for hot takes on KS politics and the occasional cyber bullying of legislators who vote to take away our freedoms and restrict our rights.
Good trouble, if you will.

Politico released an article with texts from the Chair and Vice Chair of the KS Young Republicans. One was fired from Attorney General Kris Kobach office but it is unknown if both still serve on the KS GOPs committees and just how closely they worked with Republican politicians. #kansas #ks #ksleg

As a community, we owe it to each other to invest as much in the joy & love we have for one another as we do in stopping the harm that’s being done to us.
That’s what keeps us alive & resilient. And that’s why we agreed to share such a personal part of our lives. We hope it brings you joy ❤️ #ks

Instead of addressing the rising cost of living, the Kansas GOP instead chose to prioritize making it harder to vote by eliminating the three day grace period for mail in ballots - leaving Kansas with the shortest window in the country to return their ballots by mail.

Opinion from Moti Rieber: New Kansas antisemitism law takes aim at free speech, does nothing to protect Jewish people #ksleg
New Kansas antisemitism law takes aim at free speech, does nothing to protect Jewish people • Kansas Reflector
Its language is extremely broad and could and probably would be used to suppress pro-Palestinian speech by students, speakers, or in classes.
