its wild watching people who probably *swear* they would have condemned genocide if they were alive in the past actively and passively support genocide against Palestinians right now

Feel like this is even easier to answer if it were framed "Some homeless people won't go to shelters. Should we throw their belongings in the trash?" https://t.co/RshTKToVI3

[Ryan Busse @ryandbusse]

The fact that we have created and allowed an environment where radical fascists in Montana feel compelled to advertise hate is on the people that refuse to call it out.

Well I am not one of those.

We need to castigate this like the evil it is. https://t.co/KqJExggApP

City staff on Wednesday conducted a clean-up of a homeless encampment in Missoula. The ACLU of Montana says it is stepping up monitoring actions. https://t.co/kfRSf3aNW9

Today, tell your kids about Ruby Bridges—the first Black child at all-white public elementary school in South.

Today Ms. Bridges turns 69.

69.

Looks like only two candidates want to take steps towards decriminalizing homelessness in Missoula. #mtpol

[Upper Seven Law @UpperSevenLaw]

The Montana Constitution guarantees equal, quality, and free public education.

A preliminary injunction has stopped the Legislature’s unaccountable, separate, and unequal school system. Innovation in education is vital—but it need not be destructive.

"Because I ran for attorney general as a Democrat (in 2012), I've worked at the AG's office for years as the chief deputy, so I didn't want this to be political in any way," Bucy said Wednesday. #mtnews #mtpol https://t.co/OWTVDKCxio

[Ryan Busse @ryandbusse]

This is the way of Gianforte and Knudsen. They think the state govt is for their profiteering and exploitation.

Knudsen can’t lawyer his way out of a wet paper bag….so to get his way he just tears apart our justice system like a petulant toddler. https://t.co/FObITp9pon

[David Heath @davidhth]

Oklahoma joins Florida in allowing teachers to indoctrinate students with PragerU’s right-wing propaganda.

This video grotesquely portrays Frederick Douglass, who escaped slavery and became a leading abolitionist, as defending the founding fathers’ decision to allow slavery.

I object to @nytimes referring to Helena as a liberal enclave. Most of MT “liberal” is moderate, at best.

We got the NYT calling us QUAINT and SLEEPY again

Barbara is speaking truth to power. It’s now up to us to act, to be as courageous as Barbara.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

Rest In Power, Ta’Kiya Young.

There MUST be accountability for this senseless police killing of a 21-year-old pregnant woman.

The punishment for shoplifting is not death — absolutely ridiculous.

[Rebecca Kavanagh @DrRJKavanagh]

An Ohio cop murdered 21-year-old Ta’Kiya Young, shooting her through the windshield of her car, outside a Kroger supermarket last week.

Ms. Young was *seven months pregnant* and the mother of two small boys.

The PD just released the body cam footage.

[Aidan Reed @AidanReed45]

I know it probably won't, but I hope Barbara's candidacy withdrawal leads to some real soul searching and introspection among Montana's Dem party leaders as to why some of their best talent feels so unwelcome within the party.
