1/Amy Krebs (changed fb name to Amelia HK) is one of the more vile parents against equity in Rockwood. When I oppose book banning/limiting kid’s learning, I’m called pro-rape/incest/molestation.
Speaking as someone who was brutally raped at 16, those accusations hit different
2/ It’s sad when people like Amy Krebs throw these words around w/o a second thought. I suppose it’s safe to assume that she’s never been sexually assaulted w/ a loaded gun held to her head. People need to be willing to see the world beyond the tip of their nose. (Also Krebs👇🏻)
3/ That’s why we’re in this awful position. Equity in education benefits ALL children. Parents have to be willing to look beyond their small world. Dismissing death threats that Black administrators have received is inexcusable.
4/ Attacking the work & livelihood of a Black community leader is repulsive, as you can see here from Jessica Idelman & Amy Krebs. These attacks have nothing to do with their children. These white suburban women are on a rampage against anyone who disrupts their comfort.
5/ When the anti-CRT/DEI/mask/vaxx/public education suburban white moms feel the slightest bit uncomfortable, they lash out at everyone in their way. Society is moving forward, whether they come along or stay back. It’s not about the books. It’s hateful racist rhetoric.
6/Don’t give them air to breathe. They won’t limit our children’s right to learn, their right to be seen. Progress isn’t on their side. My fellow white women…squash this. The moment you see it, squash it. If you burn bridges, so be it. We’ve allowed this to go on far too long.
7/And for God’s sake people, learn what rape, incest, molestation, and pedophilia mean before you throw those labels around. There’s a lot of trauma that comes to the surface. Legal action is being taken. It’s in your best interest to stop now, as you are being monitored.

Almost to Jeff City to fight MO GOP’s attack on public ed. The hearing for these 3 bills is at 8 am. If that’s not enough of a gut punch, there’s a 9:15 hearing on #HB148 right down the hall that would arm MO teachers. If you’re not involved, now’s the time. #MoLeg@MomsDemand

1/ A friendly reminder that none of us should be shocked if Kyle Rittenhouse comes out of this trial completely unscathed. Even if you set aside our long history of a failed justice system, look no further than the actions of Judge Bruce Schroeder leading up to this trial.
2/ In Sept. the judge ruled that prosecutors can’t argue that a man who shot 3 people during a protest against police brutality is affiliated with the Proud Boys. Rittenhouse was at a bar with members of the white nationalist group’s Wisconsin chapter hours after posting bond.
3/ Days later, Rittenhouse traveled to Miami to meet & have lunch with the Proud Boys’ national president. Prosecutors argue that Rittenhouse has adopted the Proud Boys’ philosophy and was looking to perpetuate violence in Kenosha. The judge denied allowing this info in trial.
Covid is raging in Missouri. We are the national hot spot. MO has the 3rd highest rate of gun deaths, and we haven’t funded Medicaid expansion.
In spite of this, we are here in the Capitol at a public hearing for Critical Race Theory, where public testimony isn’t allowed. #MoLeg
We’re approximately 3 minutes into the first testimony, and right-wing extremist Dr. Mary Byrne has already thrown out Marxism and leftist extremism.
A spox from MO DESE testifies that #CriticalRaceTheory is not being taught in #Missouri k-12 schools. He also points out that the low % of Black and Brown educators compared to the higher % of Black and Brown students needs to be improved. ALL children need representation. #MoLeg
1/ This isn't easy, but you need to know why State Senator Andrew Koenig (MO SD 15) is the wrong choice. At the age of 16, I was raped at gunpoint. Koenig's policies have only benefited my attacker and others like him and harmed me and other survivors. @MomsDemand
2/My attacker was under the age of 21 when he held a loaded gun to my head on that cold night. Andrew Koenig supported lowering the age to obtain a concealed carry permit from 21 years old to 19 years old. He supported my attacker legally owning a firearm. bit.ly/34SSteU
3/ Last session, Koenig supported giving kids guns w/o parent consent. The reason was it wouldn't be fair to grandparents who wanted to take their grandkids hunting for squirrels. Again, his policies make it easier for my attacker to acquire a firearm. fxn.ws/329RmWJ
My husband and I haven’t been on a date outside of the house in 8 months. We have 2 high risk kids and high risk parents. We finally snuck away for a couple of hours for a much anticipated night out. Want to know what crazy, wild thing we did?...
We planted more yard signs at polling places. The reason we haven’t been out is due to incompetent, ineffective leadership from the top down. We wanted to spend our time doing everything in our power to get the word out about the incredible candidates who have a recovery plan...
As high rates of gun violence is discussed by Missouri’s Governor Parson, there is no mention of the fact that MO has some of the weakest gun laws in the nation. #moleg@MomsDemand
You cannot refuse to regulate firearms, even in the most minuscule ways, while complaining about increasing gun violence and loss of life.
As Parson calls a special session to address violent crime, I am hopeful that our lax gun laws will be addressed. Unfortunately the @MissouriGOP has refused to act without approval from the NRA.
