This weekend keeps presenting past PFT work to me! We’re in Atlanta for the weekend and yesterday I saw a clip of No, You Shut Up! At the puppetry museum

It’s not Missouri voters against a lot of this, our state government keeps taking what we say we want away from us, and they’re now trying to make it harder for citizen led changes to be started in the first place.

Missouri voted in recent years to raise minimum wages, to raise sick pay, expand Medicaid, legalize recreational cannabis, reject right to work, and less than a year ago we also as a state voted yes on the right for reproductive freedom.

I thought they didn’t like cancel culture

Must be nice

Where tf is Hudson?

Hmmm who is “us all?”

Oh dang I wish this duo was happening

Y’all I still don’t know to “dan da dan” is pronounced

🤮

Look drag the guy every chance you get but this is a stretch

“Passing this bill makes a mockery of the democratic process itself,” State Representative Mark Boyko, a Democrat from suburban St. Louis, said during a debate earlier this year. The changes that voters approved last year established mandatory paid sick leave for Missouri workers and called for raising the state’s minimum hourly wage to $15 in 2026, with increases in subsequent years to be determined by the Consumer Price Index. Republican lawmakers said they worried those changes would harm business owners and could lead to fewer jobs in the state. Several business groups supported their legislation, which eliminated the paid sick leave requirement and stopped the minimum wage from increasing beyond $15. State Representative Mitch Boggs, a Republican from southwest Missouri who supported the bill, said that if “we don’t protect our businesses, there’s not going to be a job to go to, to get a minimum wage on.” “Of course the people voted for it,” said Mr. Boggs, who owns a construction business and a truck wash. “It’d be like asking your teenager if he wanted a checkbook. You know, they’re going to vote for it every time.”

This is what republicans think of voters and the democratic process in general by the way. In case you were wondering what folks like me have to live under and what they want for the rest of you.

They hate you. Intensely. However, much you hate republicans I promise it's not enough.

Missouri governor repeals paid sick leave law approved last year by voters Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe has signed a repeal of a law guaranteeing paid sick leave for workers and inflationary adjustments to the minimum wage

Cool cool cool so glad to live in a “democracy” where what voters want is continually taken away

I like the idea of keeping bullies at home, but this being Tennessee I’d bet a dollar it ends up just targeting bullied minorities the second they fight back.

@amazonprime.bsky.social this is why I cancelled my subscription.

Partially, anyway

Pardon my ignorance but what’s the difference between “mentally unwell” and “demented and unable to discern reality”?

I think it was police shooting journalists that prompted this

I think it may have been the police shooting journalists causing this actually

Hahaha what? No. Call out every politician who lets us down. Democratic incompetence is what got us here, I will not praise that.

I’m not the first to say anyone equating Zionism with all Jewish people is a strong antisemite.
