This governor should be removed from fucking office now, and I don't mean a recall or impeachment. If the voters vote a law in the fucking governor shouldn't be able to remove said law. Only fucking voters should get to do that
Welcome to America, the game show where your votes don’t matter and you’ll get deported by ICE if you defend your rights.
I welcome them to try it. We'll all race across life's finish line, together.
"I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees," as the saying goes...
Certainly does beg the question though, as to what happened to all those 'dont tread on me!', 'muh 2nd mendment' people who seem intensely concerned about their right to bear arms against an unlawful oppressor conveniently right up until one shows up...
That's the brilliant part.
They were led to believe the government could go after them physically, and that's what they're looking for, while they steal their healthcare and education and infrastructure, while deporting the cheap labor they were exploiting in their farms and depriving them of income.
They're tightly watching their front door, ready to shoot the first person getting close to it, while the rest of their house is being robbed blind...
They are working for ICE now !
Indeed. I'm wondering as well. But I come from new York city, where the saying was always: talk is cheap.
it is becoming more and more obvious to those who couldn’t see before that you cannot vote fascism out of power. we are rapidly approaching a countrywide breaking point. i don’t know from which side or what angle, but there is a lot of anger and only one group (anyone Left of Republicans) has the moral high ground. we are not going to demonstrate or talk our way out of the pockets of the oligarchy. if not now, when? when will it be time?
We are well past that ... America is like a person who gets a massive dose of radiation. They feel fine right after, but their body can no longer make new cells...so they end up dying a few days later.
America has had the dose of radiation, she's just waiting for the effects
This isn't even the first time they've overriden voter choice.
Hell, it's not even the twentieth time.
What kind of stupid-ass system of government allows an executive to repeal laws?
Same voters will reelect him and the legislators that created the bill
The voters put legislators in office that crafted this repeal. The governor didn't just unilaterally do it.
What sort of ass-backwards State allows direct Voter-approved laws to be repealed by the politicians. The purpose of having that process is to deal with situations where the State can't get their shit together.
A state that is captured by the voting power of land over individuals. Missouri state government is completely beholden to the hoosiers in the boonies because there are more rural counties even though there are far less rural people. And then secondarily the rural people are propped up by dumbass McBee-wannabe suburbanites that vote conservative and wear cowboy boots recreationally.
Governor HeeHaw 2.0 is one such dumbass suburbanite who went to Chaminade in St. Louis, grew up rich, and now cosplays as the hoosier’s champion
Missouri at large is far more purple than the state government allows it to appear. It was purple for a long time and its still purple today, but a purple state that gives more voting power to land than people ultimately ends up red. Just look at our federal electoral system, its the same thing
Hear hear!
For those who don't know: Hoosier is Missouri slang for trashy rural dipshits.
Sorry Indiana.
And for Missourians who dont know, we call trashy rural dipshits hoosiers because the original trashy rural dipshits in MO came from Indiana.
Sorry again Indiana. Although modern Indiana is much better now after offloading your trashy dipshits on us back in the day

Don't apologize to Indiana they know what they're about
They'll probably VOTE him Out next Time because Republicans are KNOWN to VOTE OUT Representatives that Screw them Over!
-LoL!
"It's ok if you fuck me in the ass as long as you fuck the brown guys a little harder." --Modern Republican Voters
They like being screwed over, it's their kink.
Republicans hate you unless you’re a billionaire.
Even then they hate you, but they'll kiss your ass.
Everyone hates billionaires.
Except billionairs
Something tells me they hate themselves but they’d need some kind of self awareness or a soul for that, so maybe not

Ballot actions do nothing if Regressives are elected.
Ballot actions AND Progressives!
Either way, it’s incrementalism. And as we’ve seen, any rights won will be clawed back.
The only good fix is revolution. The master’s tools will not destroy the master’s house.
I dunno man, the master's sledgehammer and sickle can pretty effectively destroy both the house and the master respectively.
Those are our tools. The master does not labor.

Missouri does this all the time. The laws here are so bad.
You should leave. It's not going to get any better and they will just use your income to pay for their shenanigans.
I wish I could. Can’t afford to live anywhere else. I’m just doing what I can to make my community better. It makes me feel a little less hopeless.
It’s the same shit everywhere. You get to choose where you deal with it. If you’re in the right spot it’s much easier.
This but America
He also just took away funding for child abuse protection.
He cares more about professional sports than child sexual abuse.
Which is ironic because much of the MAGA platform is stopping pedophiles.
It was never about child abuse. It was about cruelty to people they don't like.
Only in public. Their only true platform is to get money and make money for billionaires.
Much of the MAGA platform is empowering and enabling pedophiles….there fixed it for you

What a fucking clown. This motherfucker needs to be removed from his god damn office after denying from the people democracy like this.
These deadbeat politicians are sowing political upheaval, and sooner or later, the people will inflict their rage on the people that have caused their lives to go to shit.
No, they won't. They'll inflict on the people they're told did this to him because they can't figure out who's really responsible.

Our state is filled with a bunch of fuckwits who keep voting for progressive policies across the whole state, yet can't vote for anyone that doesn't have an (R) next to their name and are consistently shocked when their ballot measures get pulled.
Repubs are excellent at working directly against their constituents interest and desires.
Sounds like the next ballot action should be any elected official who offers up legislation to repeal a ballot initiative immediately loses their seat without any further action needed. If enacted by a ballot only a ballot should be able to repeal it and anyone who suggests otherwise doesn't belong in office.
Feel like the ballot has been tossed in the trash, and its time for missouri to go on to plan b.

So fitting for the state of misery.
Yet the voters will still keep voting for the Jesus party

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
