Fellow Arkansans, this is what we get under Tom Cotton.

Let’s normalize paying Congress only for the days they actually work, not a salary.

After looking at this map, why in the world would any Republican legislator who represents rural Arkansas continue to support Gov. Sanders' school vouchers grift?

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:

Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M

That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.

It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

Inject this kind of ad from Dems directly into my veins.

Remember kids, they’re not vouchers they’re your tax money sending rich kids to private school.

The Trump administration can try to tear down our community, but we always rise, like flags, in the end. https://t.co/EHNwajJy4O

[Erik Bottcher @ebottcher]

They tried to take it down. We’re raising it back up. 🏳️‍🌈✊

Join us at the Stonewall National Monument to re-raise the Pride flag and send a clear message: our history will not be erased, and our pride is not up for debate.

The cruelty knows no bounds.

[The Advocate @TheAdvocateMag]

The Trump administration says the move is about policy. Critics call it erasure at the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. https://t.co/XhaHqeL7Js

.@JamesTalarico to Joe Rogan: My principal told me I was going to teach this kid named Justin, who had brought a knife to school. I told him I wanted to get to know him. We started to build a rapport. Right before winter break, he brought me this gift — a snowflake that he had bought at the Dollar Tree for his teacher.

I came back after winter break and heard this commotion. There were two of our coaches restraining Justin. That was the last time I ever saw him. Justin had been seeing a therapist provided by the school district, but because of budget cuts, the district had eliminated the therapist.

Adults he was trying to trust were abandoning him. That was the radicalizing experience for me. People at the state capitol had cut $5 billion from our schools. I promised myself that if I ever got power I would do everything I could to stop that. Justin and my students are the criteria I use to evaluate public policy.

They shot Renee Good in the face.
They kidnapped Liam Ramos.
They just executed a man on the street.

Unmask them. Prosecute them. No more secret police.

@DavyCarter Davy for Governor!

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Minnijean Brown-Trickey is one of the original members of the Little Rock Nine, the teenagers who integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, after the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling. Now in her 80s, she visits schools and community centers to deliver living history lessons.

"What makes me interested in interacting with young people is because I know who I was, and I value that in young people," Brown-Trickey told us for #BriefButSpectacular.

"I just want them to know that they are capable of so much and that they don't have to tolerate things the way they are."

We don’t put “lack of insurance” on a death certificate.

But people die every day from conditions that could’ve been treated.

[Michael Daly @MP_Daly]

@TeamTalaricoHQ @ezraklein @jamestalarico 100% Correct

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

.@ezraklein: “What is, to you, the ‘rage economy’?”

@JamesTalarico: “The billionaires own the algorithms and the news networks. They have created for-profit platforms that divide us on an hourly basis — by party, by race, by gender, by religion. They elevate the most extreme voices very strategically to provoke our outrage, because that leads to more clicks, which leads to more money for them.

They are selling us conflict right into our bloodstream, and they’re calling it connection.

And I think it’s left people starving for actual community.”
