1/ My mementos of Ferguson 2014 fit a small plastic bag near my desk. A taped-together DIY press pass (RIP RFT <3).

And some things police shot at me. A pepper-spray ball. Some wood. A plastic disk I picked off the ground after something (too fast to see) hit me in the knee.

My first job out of college was in a rural community. It paid me less than $20,000.

The newspaper’s at-the-time corporate owners whittled down the staff and ultimately sold it. The new owner fired the entire unionized staff shortly after.

More turmoil at KDHX: A board member who warned of "financial peril" at the station was placed on suspension during his first board meeting. He's now resigned https://t.co/9Mj7yc06vk

BREAKING: Planned Parenthood leaders plan to start providing abortions at their health centers in Columbia, St. Louis' Central West End and KC's Midtown neighborhood on Dec. 5 if a judge grants their new injunction challenging MO's TRAP laws. #mogov https://t.co/HOONz1WFhx

Bailey manages to confirm and deny his argument, explaining the *legal harm* of reducing teen births in Missouri is "fewer people."

Bailey's rebuttal [w/context]:

"We have loving homes for children" [who would be born from teens if not for abortion] "that don't get filled."

[Mark Maxwell @MarkMaxwellTV]

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey advances arguments made in Project 2025, says the obscenity laws in the Comstock Act of 1873 should prevent the mailing of abortion pills.

I also ask him to explain his legal brief claiming declining teen pregnancies is bad for Missouri.

Quick reminder: A decade ago, 5,000+ abortions were performed in MO. In 2020, the total dropped to 167 due to “targeted regulation of abortion providers” laws, including a 72-hr waiting period.
June 2022 - July 2024: 74 abortions happened under the state’s emergency exemption.

Last night, U.S. District Court Judge Sarah Pitlyk denied Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft's attempt to block federal election observers from polling places in St. Louis, saying the harm Missouri would feel by their presence is merely "speculative"

My new favorite exorcism fact is one of the men tasked with the exorcism didn’t know he was even on his way to the exorcism. Pulled up completely unaware!!
And this it’s important to ask, “Who all gone be there?” before committing to any event. 🙂‍↕️

A tattoo shop in Colorado Springs is in a dispute with a much taller apartment building next door

So they decided to use their artistic skills to get back at them

They painted a mural on their roof filled with d**ks for everyone in the apartments to see

In the 80-year history of the Missouri Plan, no appellate court or state supreme court judge has been toppled by voters, writes @RyanWKrull. Some people angry about Amendment 3's near-miss hope to make Kelly Broniec and Ginger Gooch the first two https://t.co/gmNqTOV2Hn

"The recent claims against St. Louis Argus regarding the alleged use of stories and photographs from other local media outlets are not only unfounded but also misrepresent the values and practices we uphold in our journalism."

"In many states, [the # of annual] abortions performed due to rape are in the single digits or, in some cases, zero.

One reason for that is because in many states, rape victims who want an abortion are required to report their assault to law enforcement." https://t.co/mANzBvh7Dz
