๐ We passed PROP A!ย ๐
We just raised wages and brought up to 7 #PaidSickDays to over 500,000 (!!!) Missouri families, making sure all workers can care for themselves or a loved one when sick.
Incredible news.
Missouri officially passes Amendment 3, codifying abortion rights into law.
This is despite anti-trans attacks against the amendment, stating it would allow "sex change surgeries on young kids," a common Republican line against abortion rights amendments.
@sqiouyilu Oh yes, it's very cool! Here's a picture from near totality during the eclipse from here in Missouri, there was a warm glow all around the horizon ^^
โFor an unlikely community of people who had nowhere else to be their honest selves, it was a refuge.โ
One year later, those who lived through the Club Q shooting are still healing. These are their stories. https://t.co/A0yXANEPKp

MO is one of just 4 states where the infant mortality rate > 2021-22. This is largely result of policy decisions by our pro-forced birth legislatureโ rural hospital closures, cuts to safety net services, and limiting access to repro healthcare. It doesnโt have to be this way.
Incredible news. Andy Beshear wins reelection in Kentucky.
Just last month, Terry Schilling from the American Principles Project announced a plan to "create a wedge issue" out of trans kids in the state.
They then spent $2,000,000 on anti-trans ads.
Which failed. Again.
Missouri state rep(R) Keathley is a LIAR & terrible at math! @rockwoodschools was capped at 5%!
Rockwood did NOT take advantage of the loophole in the Hancock Amendment. Prop 3 is a levy transfer which by definition nets to zero. That means ZERO new taxes.
Vote YES on Prop 3๐ณ๏ธ
