I don’t understand how you can read Matthew 25 where Jesus commands us to…

- feed the hungry
- give clothes to the poor
- visit the incarcerated
- welcome the immigrant
- care for the sick

and then say, “I know Jesus told us to do this, but I don’t want to get political.”

Mass shooters don’t choose the AR-15 because it looks “cool.” They choose it, because they can kill upwards of 30 people before needing to reload.

On Sept 28th, 1982, 12 year old Mary Kellerman was hospitalized after being poisoned by a killer who laced a bottle of Tylenol that was on a store shelf, with cyanide. She died the next morning. A day later, six more would die from poisoned Tylenol.

By October 5th, Johnson & Johnson had issued a nationwide recall of 31 million bottles of Tylenol, and launched a massive advertising campaign to get people not to consume any of their products that contained acetaminophen (Tylenol)

The 1982 event inspired a rapid and radical shift in how certain products were sent out, quickly prompting manufacturers to start using tamperproof packaging. Untold lives have been saved in the years since.

The crisis management response by Johnson & Johnson is taught today as a model of corporate public relations and public safety.

These fucking shootings should be SIMPLE to fix. We KNOW how to rapidly bring about a massive reduction in school shootings and the senseless deaths of children and staff. We KNOW how.

It’s not happening, because organizations like the NRA spend millions upon millions of dollars to make sure GOP politicians do NOT allow those solutions to be implemented.

The NRA rewards the GOP for allowing our children to continue being slaughtered.

It’s NOT that we don’t know how to crush this. That, has never been the problem.

A tale of two bill signings.

🥹 MN Governor @Tim_Walz makes breakfast and lunch free for ALL school children.

🙁 AR Governor @SarahHuckabee rolls back child labor laws.

Look at the kids’ faces.

Vote blue.

Here you go friends. This is #ArkansasLEARNS in a nutshell. @SarahHuckabee is making a #Bold statement. Can you spot the difference between these two groups? #arleg #arpx @ARGOP @ArkDems

[Randy @royquapaw]

Public schools matter. LBGTQ lives matter. Black Lives Matter. Womens and Black history matters. People matter. Be humble be empathetic be better Arkansas.

[Chad Hall @chadhallAR]

I wish we had a Governor with staff who actually cared about the people of Arkansas instead of mocking them on Twitter. I’m embarrassed for us as a state.

[The Indoctrinatrix @gelderbailey]

Why are Arkansas politicians eager to hand out free money for k-12 tuition but against government help to pay off college loans? It’s a fair question.

[Randy @royquapaw]

Welcome to Arkansas where our AG will sue to not allow student loan forgiveness but will pay for vouchers for private religious schools.

[Trevor McGarrah @Mr_McGarrah]

One thing that came out in the House Committee, the bill has been in the works since last summer. Apparently Hutchinson’s pay raise plan was shot down and they started working on Arkansas LEARNS as the plan. It was even said they were working with @SarahHuckabee on it. Odd. 1/

[Democratic Party of Arkansas @ArkDems]

Crowd of educators erupts with applause for Devin Tubbs, a science teacher at Two Rivers, after he speaks truth about the LEARNS scam to Senators:

“Vouchers cannot fix poverty … all of this is much too important to put our most at-risk kids in the crosshairs once again.”

My column for today.

[Debra Hale-Shelton @nottalking]

Sanders spends more time tweeting than trying to heal this state's divisions much less protecting the poor, sick, the victims of discrimination. She never talks about empowering teachers; she wants to take what little power they have (virtually none) away. @sarahhuckabee

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

It’s time.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Dear Republicans,

No one is teaching your kindergartener “CRT”.
No one is telling them to be ashamed of their whiteness or “grooming” them to be gay or transgender.
And no one is encouraging them to identify as furries.
People are lying to you.
In order to scare you.

The end.

[Veronica M @McclaneVeronica]

Look at “alternative facts” @SarahHuckabee trying to push more scams on #Arkansas. I fixed your little handout…You are a grifter, and we aren’t buying your lies. #VouchersAreAScam #PayAREducators

Show me a person that doesn’t love Rihanna and I’ll show you a loser. That was awesome

Requiring retention for students not on grade level at the end of 3rd was the BIG indicator that she talked to zero elementary teachers while preparing this plan. Lololol 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

[Allison Grigsby Sweatman @AllisonForAR]

I genuinely hoped it would be different, but in our governor's address about her education reform, there was no mention of my kids or the kids I serve. I have dedicated my career to improving the lives of children w/ disabilities & their families/caregivers here in Arkansas.
