I was so proud of St. Louis County and City. Every protest grows bigger. I can’t imagine how many more people would have been there if it were a sunny day.
No Kings, St. Louis County, MO. Torrential rain and thunderstorms didn’t stop us. People standing up for one another is how we defeat this regime.

After a filibuster by Missouri Senate Democrats, Republicans shut down debate and forced a vote passing #HB1 (gerrymandering) using the PQ motion. Immediately after, before debate even began for #HJR3 (IP process) they did the same and passed it. Not allowing any debate. #MoLeg
Missouri Senate Republicans lining up to lick boots. This is embarrassing and infuriating.

🧵Tomorrow (9/4) the Missouri GOP will hold public hearings as part of their attempt at illegally gerrymandering our congressional districts & gutting our citizen-led initiative petition process. Follow & share this thread for steps YOU can take to fight back.

Because… fuck those fascists. #MoLeg 1/

Today, I’m diving into something hard, honest, and necessary, with the driving question being:
