We need a better way for people to participate in public comments on bills than driving to LR, navigating the myriad (crammed) parking lots, and sitting in person in committee. But in-person testimony is so much more powerful than emails. Any solutions?

Arkansas ACLU director Holly Dickson makes a strong and compelling case against very bad #SB43 -- grateful to ACLU for standing up to anti-LGBTQ bills in #arleg

This thread is worth reading for anyone in #Arkansas, or with an interest in the anti-drag legislation being proposed.

Too many politicians care more about what their big donors want than what’s good for the people. I’m fighting to get dark money out of politics, so the first thing I'll do when the Senate begins on Monday is reintroduce my constitutional amendment to #EndCitizensUnited for good.

I would ask you, Governor, to please spend even a few minutes with the trans kids and their parents who pleaded with different committees this week not to pass bills—#SB199 and #HB1156—that put trans kids at greater risk of harm. It’s not a joke to them.

Democrats routinely get 35% of the vote statewide in Arkansas. Right now we have 18% of the seats in the state legislature. The difference between a legislature that is 18% and 35% Democrat is night and day. To stop the bullshit, we have to reclaim seats? So how… 🧵

We’re in for some long and difficult days ahead in central Arkansas. While I’m relieved to know the friends and colleagues I’ve been able to contact are safe, many of them—and many, many other Arkansans—experienced losses today, many of them significant. #ARwx (1/2)

Congratulations, Conway!

It was 1973. I was interviewing for my first job as a teacher. I had deliberately chosen a high school position in a desegregated district where there had never been a full-time Black teacher. Only a coach and another teacher who taught what was then called Home Economics one
