First step in #FreeSpeech protection taken! Lower court strikes down Missouri's 2023 law targeting #librarians and #teachers that caused hundreds of books to be removed!
It will be appealed, of course - my taxpayer dollars going to defending #BookBans rather than, say, funding schools. The #MO Supreme Court is hardly a bastion of liberalism, so a long legal road ahead. (caveats concluded)
Yay! 🥳

Hey #Missouri folks! If you'd like to join the fight against #BookBans and in support of #Libraries and #Librarians, you can join (as an individual or an organization) the Missouri Right to Read Coalition. There are no fees to join, and it's an excellent way to stay informed and stand up for the #FirstAmendment.

Mark Alford's "if you didn't want to hear my lies, why did you come here" might be right up there w/Richard J. Daley Sr.'s "the police are not here to create disorder, they're here to preserve disorder," for politicians maybe accidentally telling the truth. #USpol #MOpol #MarkAlford #alford

I am livid about this authoritarian move by my Senator, Eric Schmitt, who has unilaterally decided that what #StLouis needs is federal police enforcement, not community-based solutions, to reduce crime. This "federal-state" collusion explicitly does not include the city government, does not represent consultations with St. Louisans directly affected, and will waste $$ at a time when the federal help St. Louis really needs is in #tornado recovery.
And this just after Missourians (not St. Louis - which rejected the proposal) voted to put our #GOP state government in charge of the #StL city police, which includes requiring a dedicated amount of funding for the police, regardless of other priorities.
I'm about to run out of characters for this toot in my first time ever, I'm so mad. Anyway, for others in #Missouri who would like to express their opinion, Sen. Schmitt's office phone is (202) 224-5721

Missouri voters **just passed** this amendment in November 2024. For citizens, getting an initiative on the ballot is labor intensive - I spent a couple weekends last spring gathering signatures in mid-Missouri because the requirements are extensive and precise. Yet our #Republican dominated legislature can place issues on the ballot with a simple majority vote, regardless of how ill-conceived or contrary to just-expressed voter wishes, and we have to fight all over again. Bonus: this ballot proposal contains anti-trans bait unrelated to abortion but designed to use #transphobia to hurt women/pregnant people. But #trans folks are the real threat to women??? #abortion #MOPol #USPol #Missouri.
