So proud of every single soul who worked in this brutal heat - and every person who took the time to sign our petition for the abortion amendment to be placed on the ballot in November!! 96k signatures and counting!! This is historical but the work is just beginning.

Our neighbor is a respiratory therapist at Arkansas Childrens. Last week there were 6 kids admitted for covid. Today? 30. But go off about how kids don’t need to get vaccinated.
Ive spent my entire adulthood playing catch up after growing up in rural arkansas being homeschooled by religious fanatics. I will continue to fight for the kids that are growing up like I did. The poor, rural, disabled kids. Those are the kids that will hurt the most from LEARNS

It doesn’t even have to be cancer. I had two kids with needed therapies under 4+ my own chronic health + needing an intense hip surgery in which my husband had to become my full time caretaker. He got fired. We lost our home and had to relocate across the country to save our fam
We worked our asses off. Thank you to every single volunteer that put in hours helping gather signatures. One week ago we were at 26,292 signatures. We need 54,422 signatures. 🧵
Anyone know whose papaw from decline to sign this is? He grabbed me as I was live for all the incredible volunteers and asked me where I thought I was going as I was trying to get to the front for filming purposes.…
Gpa is lucky I held it together and didn’t grab him back.
@JonesForAR
made my 9yo sons night. He was so excited to meet him, and even though he’s never even held a mic before he got up and told Chris and the audience that to make arkansas better we need to make our schools better by increasing teacher pay. He’s such a natural.

Hey y’all I’m Ashley! I am a 4th generation Arkansan, a mother of two neurodiverse boys, and I work in education disability advocacy. I grew up attending church 4-5 nights a week, and

Good morning! Today we are in Judge Fox’ courtroom for day one of our lawsuit against the state of Arkansas and the ban on mask mandates the legislature passed.

This is happening. Our children rely on us to protect them. I’ll be damned if they thought we would just sit back and let them kill our kids. See you in court.

Sen.
@BreanneDavis
sponsored LEARNS (the racist school voucher scam).
Now she’s co-sponsoring the bill to gut FOIA in Arkansas.
She’s nothing more than Sarah’s useful idiot. When did Boot Licker Breanne sell out? How much did she get?
Vote her the fuck out, y’all.

@Fe_CLAD
This was me in a Texas airport in August. I was livid because
@SouthwestAir
staff wasn’t wearing their mask. They tried to have me arrested for saying to my husband through the tears that we can’t fucking catch COVID (our sons higher risk and can’t be vaxxed yet)
Arkansas deserves so much better than the clowns who are in office.
I’ve lived in ALOT of places. I CHOSE to come back here. I want to raise my kids here and them have opportunity.
There’s so much work to be done. Please run for something.
A full day at the Capitol working to advocate for the disability community. I haven’t wore this jumpsuit since I spoke at my sisters funeral in January. She made me brave, and I needed that little reminder as I walked into the wolves den today.

Todays my sons 7th birthday. Today a 7yo little girl was shot and killed at the same exit of a park and zoo we frequent. This has to stop. These babies deserve to grow up.
I wanna know who the fk this dude is.
I’m not all love and light. Im not apart of the “go high” crowd.
I’m petty and I will hold old yt men accountable for their abuse.
70% of the tax cut will be going to the top 20% of Arkansans(making 60k+). Those making under $22,000 will see no benefit. That’s 30% of Arkansans. 1 in 3 Arkansans are disabled, 30% of which live under the poverty line.

It’s been 24 hours since their first Covid shot. They have had ZERO side effects. 6s teacher said he had one of the best days yet! I heard Jim Stone Elementary in Conway Ar is now going 💯 virtual because of how many cases they have had. They got rid of their mask mandate🙄
#arpx
Here’s somethings you should know about me, hi I’m Ashley. I have been a special education advocate for the last 4 years, since my son was diagnosed as a level two autistic. Through this process I went back to school to finish my degree in political science. Buckle up y’all..a🧵
Damn straight I’m raising my kids to be entitled. Entitled to free healthcare. Entitled to a fair wage. Entitled to a livable planet. Retweet if you agree. 🖤
My autistic son was 4 before he willingly gave me a hug. He would tighten his entire body, and I honestly felt so rejected as his mom. It was so damn hard to build a connection with him. I was convinced he hated me. He is now 6, and just started waking me up with a hug🥺
Sen. Trent Garner freaks out on the senators who stayed behind to hear masks in schools testimony from people who can’t come back tomorrow. This is normal and fine.
So
@Garner4Senate
wants appx one MILLION Arkansans to die before he is willing to take any public health measures. This is what constitutes a “leader” in Arkansas. Supposed to be serving you, and no fucks are given if you are one of those who die. Got it.
I voted!
Just a friendly reminder to have the correct ID on you! Any Arkansas specific state issued ID (I had to use my UALR ID) or federal documents such as a passport can be used. Also confirm your polling location before you go, as we saw multiple people turned away.
#arpx
If you ever see me argue with an antivaxxer, just know that I KNOW that most of the time they are unreachable.. but I can’t tell you how many have told me my posts are why they chose to get vaxxed/get their kids vaxxed and it’s for those people that I argue to reach.
LRSD mask mandate extended to April 14.
Vaccine incentive passed.
Covid sick leave extended through April 14.
Antimaskers apparently tried to show up to the (closed) meeting but I drove by about 20 min after it started and they had gone home.
@SarahHuckabee
I’m sorry what rituals by the left are you being forced to partake in? I feel like I need to know, because I missed the memo and don’t wanna miss out! Fomo is real.

LRSD is going to virtual instruction Thursday and Friday, to reassess Sunday. Hundreds are either quarantined or have tested positive. The POC team can’t keep up. This is horrendous. Hey antivaxxers, this is your fault. So thanks for nothing.
I was invited to join the
@EmergeArkansas
training, which trains progressive women to get into politics. Today is the first training sesh, and I am excited. We are coming for you.
#arleg
Nearly 8500 new cases. Virtual for LRSD has been pushed to Monday and Tuesday. This is for a mask mandated district. My mama heart is aching for those whose districts aren’t putting the health and safety of their kids and staff first. Stay safe y’all. 🖤
#Arkansas
Look at THiS photograph. THIS is Arkansas! This is people of and for Arkansas. Everyday Arkansans who volunteered their time and energy all summer in brutal heat to be the Champions of Education. Not all heroes wear capes, but THESE heroes do!
Unfucking believable.
@Garner4Senate
You realize she isn’t the only parent on it? My kids do go in person. I have a special needs child that has to go in person. I also have an 8yo with asthma and is incredibly prone to pneumonia. This is about the kids.
Heat exhaustion is a bitch.
🚨ARKANSAS🚨 if you haven’t signed PLEASE find an event happening today and go go go!
Make us standing in the heat worth it🫠😅🙃
Today is the last day!!
#saynotolearns
I am currently in the House Education Committee meeting room - it’s standing room only and this is the line outside to get in. Love seeing the turnout to advocate for the kids and schools that Arkansas Learns will hurt the most.

Our words have power. So stop saying things like : “when Sarah Huckabee is governor”!! We have to do everything we can to make that as hard as possible for her. Ps are you running for office? DON’T LET A SINGLE REPUBLICAN RUN UNOPPOSED.
15 years ago tonight I was nearly murdered via strangulation by the father who had raised me. The abuse that I experienced growing up ultimately cost me the life of my sister. No one protected us. Not the church. Not cps. And now she’s gone. She is why I can’t stop fighting.
@lbengilmore
What would you tell my sister who killed herself because she couldn’t access an abortion? Or me who would have left my son motherless if I hadn’t been able to access a medical abortion due to sepsis (at a catholic hospital btw)?!
@JohnDavisJDLLM
Not only was I hit on, cat called, at ages 11-13… I was molested at the ages of 3/4.
But judging by this post, you should prob be on a list somewhere.
Let me find out someone gives a Christian book to my autistic child at school. Give me a reason. I’ve sued the state once and won, my ass would do it again.
@SarahHuckabee

I personally live my life hoping that the next generation has less pain, less suffering, more success and happiness than mine. I can’t imagine wanting others to suffer because I did.
WATCH THIS.

@SarahHuckabee
’s fundraising.
I’m pledging $100k for Chris Jones,

, to show Arkansas they don’t need to join the likes of Republican Governors like Abbott.
Let’s do this.
Help him help us!👇
The left in Arkansas are destroying themselves by pushing masks in school. Stronger school choice/vouchers, more homeschooling and contested school board elections are coming. Thanks to massive blunder by the left, we are going to help students for generations.

One year ago we lost you. All you wanted was to be was seen, heard, validated. Im so sorry this world failed you. I love you so much. My soul died as you took your last breath. You made me brave. I promise I won’t stop fighting until change happens or I join you. 5/3/90-1/22/21🖤
8yo high risk son has come home from school every day saying how all he wants for his birthday next month is to be vaccinated so he can do fun things again. He knows he is high risk. He knows we are doing everything we can, but live in Arkansas. My mama heart y’all.

The flu shot is kicking my butt(I got both the Covid booster and flu shot yesterday)… so I’m spending the day chilling with my DayQuil in bed. But my kids just got their second vaccine with their daddy!!! We made it y’all. We made it.
#GetVaccinated
I called the boys’ pediatrician office as soon as I saw that the cdc approved the vaccine. As I’m on hold 9 leans in mouthing “GET ME ONE!” like I’m ordering a pizza or something 🤣
Jim Bob Duggar has announced his run for state senate. I’m sorry did we forget that he is actively trying to get his precious first born off of prison time for internet child SA??
Thankful. Masks save lives. Get vaccinated. Call your school boards and let them know you want masks at school. Our kids are our future, and we are the ones responsible to keep them safe. Thank you

@Infosec_Taylor
It truly is. We have been rebuilding our lives since the move in 2019. It truly can be just one medical issue that arises and everything can come crashing down.
Just got our second “just in case” COVID test this week. We got home from our trip Monday and we are being extra cautious. Our first test was negative and all of the vaccinated fam we were with also had negatives. This is what responsible adulting looks like.
As of last count, over 86% of COVID hospitalizations have been unvaccinated. Over 81% of new cases are also among the unvaccinated. While we continue to deal with the increased hospitalizations from Omicron, the vaccine is needed to help slow this increase.
Listening to the senate debates today.. how.. just HOW are some of these old men still in office? They literally sound like they are on their death bed when they speak.
