Jess Piper at The View from Rural Missouri by Jess Piper:
“You don’t like it? Move.” This sort of advice is often given to me in online spaces when I say something truthful about Missouri that irritates folks on the right. When I talk about abortion bans, I should move to California. When I talk about funding schools, I should move to New York. When I speak out against harmful policies, I’m just an out of place, out of touch, liberal. I’ve been told to move to California or New York many times, and while I have visited both states, and appreciate the CA beaches and the NY atmosphere, I wouldn’t move to either state for two very important reasons: 1) This is where my children and grandchildren live. 2) This is my state too. Here’s something that may interest you; I hear the same rhetoric, although presented in a much more caring way, from progressives in states with better representation. My blue state friends have given me the “just move” advice on several occasions. They fear that I am in danger or that specific policies will hurt my family. They are justified in thinking I should move, but what they don’t realize is that moving will eventually harm them. If all of the like-minded congregate in progressive states, we will all eventually be overwhelmed by the regressive states.
If we don’t contest and protest in every GOP-dominated state, the bad policies will leach into all the states.
I will preface this essay by saying that I understand that not all folks have the privilege I have to stay and fight. Those with trans children, those impacted by our state healthcare failings and childcare issues, those dealing with things I can’t even begin to understand have every reason to flee states like Missouri. I make absolutely no judgment on those who choose to leave. I am in solidarity with them. [...]
Progressives fighting back in regressive states are fighting for all of us. They represent the tipping point for the nation. They contest seats, they protest human rights violations, and they show up to keep the red from leaching into the blue. The real fight for democracy is at the state level. Activists in GOP-dominated states can’t just move…there is nowhere to go. If we can’t stop the slow churn toward fascism in our states, there is little hope we can stop it nationwide. So, we stay. We stand up and talk back. We link arms and fight the local corrupt policies to stop national corrupt policies. Just move? No. I can’t. I won’t. This is my state too.
Jess Piper nails it on the dismissive "You don’t like it? Move" retort used to silence critics of bad polices of a particular state (in Piper's case, Missouri).

Yall remember how Texas had that "report an abortion" form that they had to take down after a week?
Well, Missouri has one, only it's for reporting transgender concerns.
Comrades. Friends. Romans. Countrymen. You know what to do.

KC continues to make me proud.
Simplified explaination: the city gov has refused to comply with any gender affirming care ban, like the one the MO state government is on track to pass.
I will not be surprised if Jeff City tries to nullify or overturn this. Or simply penalize the metro in other ways.
But even if that happens... even if they succeed... the simple fact that this passed by a near-unanimous vote sends a clear message.
It sends a message to non-cis residents that the city is on their side.
And it sends a message to the rest of the nation that resistance is still alive in red states.

At 12 I was still reading The Babysitter’s Club books and thought I was mature because I got tired of Barbie dolls.
Sex was kind of an idea. I knew fine well babies weren’t made by a bird flying in and giving you a baby. I was aware of things.
But it still utterly unthinkable to me that anyone thinks a 12 year girl could get married and do *that* and be psychologically fine.
Why is this man not on a watch list?

The Missouri Republican Civil War continues to escalate as a member of the Freedom Caucus faction has filed a proposed rule change to allow Senators to challenge an “offending senator to a duel.”
...
"SENATE RESOLUTION NO. _ Notice of Proposed Rule Change Notice is hereby given by the Senator from the 2nd District of the one day notice required by the rule of intent to put a motion to adopt the following rule change: BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the One Hundred and Second General Assembly, Second Regular Session, that the Senate Rules be amended to read as follows: "Rule 103. If a senator's honor is impugned by another senator to the point that it is beyond repair and in order for the offended senator to gain satisfaction, such senator may rectify the perceived insult to the senator's honor by challenging the offending senator to a duel. The trusted representative, known as the second, of the offended senator shall send a written challenge to the offending senator. The two senators shall agree to the terms of the duel, including choice of weapons, which will be witnessed and enforced by their respective seconds. The duel shall take place in the well of the senate at the hour of high noon on the date agreed to by the parties to the duel."
