The government has no right to decide what name or nickname your child goes by in class.

The government has no right to pick out what clothes your child wears to school.

This is not just an attack on trans children. It's an attack on personal choice.

It took Hitler 51 days until Dachau was built after he took power. This needs to stop now before we end up repeating the past.

Republicans just pushed a bill that spreads lies about abortions, criminalizes doctors using their best medical judgment to treat patients in need, and strips families' ability to decide how to act in situations where a baby won't survive long outside the womb. (1/2)

The Constitution is clear: if you're born on American soil, you're an American citizen.

I'm grateful there are still some within in our justice system, including GOP-appointed judges like this one, who refuse to abandon their oath of office to uphold this sacred document. apnews.com/article/birt...

Here we go fellow Americans. The front row seat you never wanted or imagined is here. We have to be better. We have to rise up. We cannot do nothing. When history books write of this time let them say that there was a strong resistance. Do better than being a silent observer.

ICYMI--Tuesday is the deadline for Iowa candidates for state offices to file reports on their 2024 campaign fundraising and spending.
Should be very interesting to compare the filings for Kim Reynolds and Rob Sand.
My longstanding policy is not to write campaign finance stories based on a press release. So I'll have more to say after the report is publicly available and I can see the donations.
But based on this release, I would bet on State Auditor @robsandia.bsky.social running for governor in 2026. #iagov

Makes sense but the frustration levels with the sheer amount of people unwilling to grow is a test of my patience levels.
