Arkansas State Police. They gave out. The spreadsheet. With names. Redacted. By changing the background color! :ablobcatneon: lol

Oh, you gotta stay on the birdsite to stay up to date on #Arkansas #ARnews and #ARpx and today is one of those days where there's a lot worth seeing. This is what spurred today's attempt at killing our FOIA law. It's been so messy

Excuse me while I go and scream

"Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is asking the state Legislature to convene next week to cut income taxes, ban vaccine mandates for state employees and significantly curtail what state government records are available to the public."

Hey #Arkansas #ARpx

It's the last couple of days to sign the petition to put the LEARNS act on the ballot, so we can vote on it. We have a chance to stop public school money getting diverted to discriminatory religious private schools using this ballot initiative. But the legislature has made it harder with new rules, and every signature matters

ETA deadline is 7/30, this Sunday

You have to sign at an event in the county you live in. Find an event here:

Arkansas Republicans see girls with no future as a good thing. Take Afghanistan or Iran, swap out the Quran for the Bible, and that's the vision they have for this state.

I had the pleasure of speaking with the House Judiciary committee today along with dozens of other people. I planned to beat the constitutional drum again, as I had for the Senate Judiciary last month. #SB81 has occupied a lot of valuable real estate in my head lately. #arleg #arpx

Jessa Duggar had an abortion. Why can't others get the same care!? Why is this care forbidden in Arkansas? Shouldn't she be a murderer now, in the evangelicals' eyes?

Abortion is healthcare and should be treated as such.
