I made a thing

[Houston Hughes @HoustonRH7]

No, Arkansas elected you because in 2010 our state was shook by the existence of a black president and careened so hard to the right we'd elect a Grecian statue of a man eating another man's ass if Republicans promised it would "own the libs."

[Sarah Huckabee Sanders @SarahHuckabee]

I ran for Governor and Arkansans elected me on the bold promise to overhaul Arkansas’ education system and break the failed status quo. Arkansas LEARNS is the plan our state needs and voted for overwhelmingly.

Self-serving partisan extremists tried to play political games to undermine LEARNS, overturn the will of the voters, and hold our kids back. Today it’s official: they failed, Arkansas’ students won, and my administration will continue to raise teacher pay, invest in literacy, and empower parents and students through LEARNS.

100 years ago today, the Harrison Railroad Riot rocked North Arkansas. Here's what happened: https://t.co/60XgDIQ95E

Hi. I made a 40-minute-long, in-depth, nonpartisan explanation of Arkansas Issue 4, the Marijuana Legalization Amendment. Please give it a watch before you go vote. :)

...and I just realized I wrote "documentarian" instead of "documentary" in the original tweet, but I can't edit it and if I delete it everything else is deleted.

cool. cool. super cool.

[Houston Hughes @HoustonRH7]

I have been working on a documentarian about Harrison, Arkansas for a year and a half now and I'm about to explode if I don't share some of the things I've found. So here we go. #Arkansas #History

[Houston Hughes @HoustonRH7]

Ok. I'm done for now. I realized a lot of the original research material I have I don't want to share quite yet. I've got some photos from private collections, some recovered & restored video footage... Hopefully I'm not just shouting into the void.

[Houston Hughes @HoustonRH7]

Certain other Harrison billboards get a lot of attention. But it's worth pointing out that the Harrison Sign Company - who owned that first set of billboards - had one in front of their own office advocating for secession.

Remember when @AsaHutchinson helped negotiate a peaceful standoff with white separatists on Bull Shoals Lake?

That group, The Covenant, The Sword, and The Arm Of The Lord, chose their name so its abbreviation (CSA) would be the same as the Confederate States of America. (1985)

Y'all remember when the klan in Arkansas decided to spread their message by cleaning up litter?
