I don’t want to live around, converse with, or even breathe the same air as the people who are okay w/ what is happening in our country. I have no grace for this mindset. None.

I’m not your friend. I’m not here to “keep the peace.” If you want to agree to disagree, I’ll gladly tell you to fuck off.

Remember that SLMPD specifically cited SAPA in their inability to act on previous alarming behavior of the 2022 CVPA school shooter. #MOleg and frmr Gov. Parson have blood on their hands.

“Despite the MO AG’s blatant attempts to overturn the will of the people, all patients expect & have the right for their medical records to be private. Politicians have no place in the exam room w/ patients & their medical providers, & that’s why we’ll keep fighting for patients & their rights.”

Here we are in another Republican government shutdown and my Rep is home doing photo ops instead of in D.C. trying to help working Americans. I didn't think I'd have to run to the trumpets again but I am. I'm running for Congress because I'm not done yet and neither are we. youtu.be/OSOAPMl_BSc?...

There are no words to express how excited I am and how proud I am that my friend @fpwellman.bsky.social has announced his campaign for Congress in Missouri’s 2nd District!

Lace up those shoes, friends! It’s time to hit the pavement for this campaign!
