A drone view of detainees forming the letters SOS with their bodies in the courtyard at the Bluebonnet Detention Facility, where Venezuelans at the center of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling are held, in Anson, Texas, U.S. April 28, 2025. REUTERS/Paul Ratje
April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.
She's really frustrated with how Bentley has framed this as pro-life/prop-choice. As someone with 4 kids and 2 miscarriages, she's well aware of how human development works. She wants to teach HG&D, but without turning this into something dishonest or untrue about the bill.
Medical experts from all political parties have thoroughly debunked the video - it's nothing more than propaganda. The video would be shown before students have even learned basic anatomy and sex ed.
Also on the docket: a few bills that would strengthen transparency requirements for school boards.
Good morning folks! We are in Senate Education this morning; the committee has a packed agenda. The primary interest for us: HB1180, the Baby Olivia Act from Rep. Bentley. It would require public school students as young as 10 to view a medically inaccurate video about fetal gestation.
Sen. Kim Hammer is trying to destroy your right to propose ballot initiatives.
This morning, he filed a slate of bills that would functionally eliminate your ability to even hope to get something on the ballot.

Senators' contact info is publicly available, fyi.
So! Let's tell Kim how we feel, shall we?

P.S. this dude wants to run for Secretary of State.

This is bad legislation that will disenfranchise people simply wanting to participate in direct democracy. These bills also conflict with disability rights, and the bills sure as hell are not in the spirit of the Arkansas Constitution, which Hammer swore to uphold. #arpx #arleg
Why all the new rules for volunteer canvassers? Because the absolutely incredible work of the Arkansas Abortion Amendment volunteer canvassers. The legislature is SO SCARED of women with clipboards. #arpx #arleg
🚨🧵It has started: Kim Hammer and #arleg supermajority filing 6 bills that would make citizen led canvassing efforts incredibly difficult. This pertains to VOLUNTEER canvassers, folks. Sound the alarm. They are gutting the people's process yet again. #arpx
This is worth pointing out: the Legislature has a narrow view of "transparency." It came up in the House committee hearing yesterday on SB3.
There's a provision in SB3 that would alter how alcohol licenses are distributed; a number of liquor store owners came to speak against that specific clause.

Good morning.
It's the fourth week of the 2025 Regular Session.
How many times have you contacted your state lawmakers? Have you made plans to come to the Capitol (if such a trip is possible for you)?
Happening now: Gov. Sanders is announcing work requirements for Medicaid. This would directly harm thousands of Arkansans who already struggle to access healthcare.
Here's more on work requirements: www.kff.org/medicaid/iss...
Rep. Lee Johnson filing a bill that would create a doula certification in Arkansas so trained advocates can fight for pregnant women's rights in an unbending healthcare system is FANTASTIC! More of this, #arleg! #arpx arkleg.state.ar.us/Bills/Detail...
A proposed bill that would “regulate liability for shooting sports events” and “provide immunity to certain individuals” at those events was pulled from consideration this week after lawmakers voiced concerns in a committee meeting. #arpx #arleg
It’s no secret- vouchers are coupons for kids already in private schools.

ARKANSAS — Gov Sarah Sanders came to TN to push @GovBillLee’s failed vouchers scam… Ex Little Rock superintendent Baker Kurrus says they should stop their wildly expensive program, which is mainly helping kids who were NOT in public school 👇🏽 🤔 arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...
Happy snow day. #arleg starts Monday. It’s fine.
Good morning! We're posted up at the Capitol in the Old Supreme Court Room, where we expect Sen. Bryan King to give a press conference on a few bills relating to prisons - population, incarceration, overcrowding, etc.
He's been a vocal supporter of the Franklin County and River Valley Coalition.
@ForARPeople1 created an incredible toolkit to assist with advocacy efforts! Sure, it's made for Franklin County, but change the words and fill in the blank for any County and any issue! It's applicable to all!

A reminder with this incoming cold blast:
Our local water utility says they pray we don’t run out of water overnight when folks drip their faucets.
This is the supply from which the prison intends to pull ~15,000,000 gallons/month.

Yet again, a handful of our state’s top leaders continue the pattern of “if we don’t like it, we’ll just make something up and change the rules.” #arpx

Thoughts and prayers for anyone attempting Whole Foods today.
The out-of-state group that deployed an anti-“woke” public schools activist with a background of doing gay porn is still pouring millions into Tennessee to help @govbilllee pass his private school vouchers scam this coming session…
#LeesVoucherScam
Isn't the start of winter charming?
Baby SOS here is 27 years old?! Jester's qualifications=he went to the same religious college as the governor, then went to work for her after law school. Now, thanks to Sanders' appointment, he will control elections and ballot initiatives in Arkansas. 🚨🚨🚨

NEW: Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves.
We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. ⤵️
