Under Gov Sarah Huckabee Sanders, nearly 220,000 #Arkansas residents have lost their health insurance coverage. Just since April 1.

“#Arkansas temporarily blocked from enforcing law that would have allowed criminal charges against librarians & booksellers for providing “harmful” materials to minors…

The most underrated story is the fact that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is considering removing segregation orders from schools in her state. If she goes through with this she would be violating the constitution and the Supreme Court case Brown V Board of education which ruled that segregation to be unconstitutional. #arkansas#GOPfascists
