They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.

It’s wild to talk to folks about Missouri only to hear someone blame “the Democrats.” What Democrats? We’ve had a Republican legislative supermajority for over two decades and haven’t had a statewide elected Dem since 2018. Everything you see in this state is due to Republican authoritarianism.

I talk to a lot of folks in real life about data centers. I have never run into even one who supports them, aside from the folks sent to our towns to sell them to us. Dems should lean into this. The Rs are generally in favor of letting corporations steal our water and power and quality of life.

You know, I think it’s pretty weird that Missouri Republicans can find a way to regulate every uterus in the state, but they can’t find a way to regulate corporate data centers…

Visiting the Obama Presidential Musuem and damn…we’ve fallen so far. Listening to Obama’s words and reading his writing is kind of devastating right now. But I’m positive we don’t have to follow this path to our demise. We can leave the MAGA era behind. #YesWeCan

“MO lawmakers spent part of this year’s session arguing that the state should steer low-income families away from buying candy, soda and desserts with SNAP. Then they passed a budget that eliminates $2 million for a program designed to help those same families buy more fruits and vegetables.”

Listen, I was born poor and rural. My high school mascot was a literal hillbilly. I understand white trash culture. I can say with complete confidence that this is white trash culture.

I would love to see you at this event to learn about data centers and what they do to water and air quality — be well prepared in the fight against hyperscale data centers. mobilize.us/s/TGRtZ2
