I don’t care if they repeal student loan forgiveness. I’ve forgiven myself. I’m not paying them

A Davenport West High School senior yelled "Trans rights are human rights" during a scholarship ceremony with Gov. Kim Reynolds today. Reynolds has signed legislation blocking gender-affirming care for trans youth and a "bathroom bill" this session.

Greg Abbott chose to refer to the victims of a brutal shooting in Cleveland as illegal immigrants. They were much more than that. They were heroes. Who used their bodies as shields to protect two children from dying, and who told their father to jump out the window so he’d live.

Iowa is one of only 6 states in the country that hasn’t extended Medicaid coverage for new moms to 12 months postpartum. Last week every Iowa Republican Senator voted against joining the 44 other states in expanding health care coverage for new moms to a year.
Sarah Trone Garriott@SarahforIowa

Republicans in the Senate vote no to extending Medicaid postpartum coverage to 1yr. 44 other states have made this change to address the high rate of maternal deaths in the US.

we really have to stop taking these "labor shortage" arguments at face value. The number of unemployed persons per job opening in Iowa is unchanged since prior to covid. These laws are designed to 1) combat increase union activity 2) make legal child labor they're ALREADY doing

Who pays the medical consequences of gun violence? Who pays for the hardening of facilities? Who pays for gun violence investigations? The answer is, you do! Mandate insurance, registration, training, requal, and responsibility.

Republican lawmakers just passed legislation to allow weapons on public schools + college campuses. The bill exempts private businesses + schools—meaning Iowa’s wealthiest residents are protected while public school students, faculty members and employees are not.

“I don’t want to have to have a parent make a case for me full of reasons why I should be able to use the bathroom in a place I exist in 7 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 9 months in a year.” -Sarah (he/they), trans sophomore. Well said, Sarah! #TransDayOfVisibility

Another Idaho hospital is shutting down its maternity ward. Half of the OBGYNs in the state are leaving or considering leaving - and no new OBGYNs want to move there because of the abortion ban. There's no overstating how bad this is going to get ktvb.com/article/news/l…
