The hardest thing working in #ksleg is that being right doesn’t mean you’ll win.

I think it takes a diversity of tactics to win, both rowdy & polite. Bad bills aren’t defeated by one thing. They’re defeated by doing *everything*. It’s death by a thousand cuts. I think it’s not either/or- it’s both.

“One day, our children & grandchildren may ask us, 'When it was all on the line, what did you do?' And the only acceptable answer is, everything we could”

I only met Cecile Richards once during my time at planned parenthood- even in that one conversation she was so inspiring.

Rest in peace, Cecile

Already #ksleg is up to the usual voter suppression nonsense

-attacks on mail ballots
-banning rank choice voting
-more restrictions based on debunked conspiracy theories

Elections committee is scheduling hearings before bills are publicly available, so we can’t even read them to prepare testimony

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.
