"I live in a red state [Missouri], and I hope you will listen to my warning. Those who want to demolish democracy won’t stop with my state, or any of the other GOP-dominated states. They are rolling over our rights to get to yours.

Left by the wayside is a request by the Missouri Department of Transportation to add Amtrak service from Kansas City to St. Joseph and Kansas City to southwest Missouri.
So shortsighted. Expanding/widening highways, but not funding new #Amtrak service.
Jess Piper on how right-wing trolls taunt her when she speaks out about the shortcomings of her home state of Missouri by telling her just to move to New York or California.
But it's not just right-wing trolls: as she reports, she also routinely gets the very same advice from leftist allies who appear to think they're entitled to judge her for living where her family lives, a state that's her state, too.
