Unless you want an abortion, want to make a decent wage, or really anything else that has to do with baseline standards of living. ☺️

[Gov. Kim Reynolds @IAGovernor]

Efficient, Effective, and Small. That’s what government should be!

Under my watch, state government will work FOR YOU! Not against you.

[Oliver Weilein, Iowa City Councilor @Ollie_XVX]

Today Iowa Republicans proposed to amend the constitution to ban gay marriage. Saying “In accordance with the laws of nature and nature’s God, the state of Iowa recognizes the definition of marriage to be the union between 1 human biological male and 1 human biological female.”

Iowa government said: bring back child labor!

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

A new Iowa bill would roll back child labor laws, allowing 14 to 17-year-olds to work in mining, meatpacking, demolition, operating guillotine shears, and other dangerous jobs. Under the business-backed bill, employers wouldn't be civilly liable if kids are injured or killed.

[pokey pup @Whatapityonyou]

So “defund the police” was way too extreme but the police going around murdering people in cold blood year after year is what?
