I stand with you too, Keturah, and my youngest child, and all who are demeaned and disrespected by this dangerous law.
Many @kyhousedems members proudly attended today's LGBTQ+ Capitol rally against Senate Bill 150, which is being called the worst anti-trans legislation in the U.S. Those speaking included, clockwise from top left, Reps. @Rachel4KY, @KeturahHerron and @stevensonspeaks

SB150 is one of the most extreme anti-trans bills in the nation right now. This bill is so miserable, mean, and misinformed the Republicans had to sneak it through late in the session despite having supermajorities.

Today we recognized National Gun Violence Survivors Week. It wasn’t easy for these survivors to relive their experiences but it’s important we bring awareness to the crisis. To Whitney, Q, and Janae: You are an inspiration to all of us. @Everytown @MomsDemand #GVSurvivorsWeek

Gun suicide steals nearly 25,000 lives each year. This is a preventable public health crisis that is only made deadlier with easy, unfettered access to guns. This #GVSurvivorsWeek, take a moment to read and share stories from gun suicide survivors. etwn.us/3l1IY80

I've done this!
Getting ready early this morning to head to Annapolis for ⁦@iamwesmoore⁩’s inauguration, I grabbed two black heels, and failed to grab an actual pair of shoes. I didn’t notice until I was in Penn Station. ⁦@Oprah⁩ of course noticed as soon as I sat down next to her…!

Thanks for your strong and persistent focus on educational attainment, Mayor!
Thanks to @Evolve502, money is no barrier to college & trade training for @JCPSKY eligible graduates. I'm grateful to this organization and the MANY compassionate partners, including our Metro team who worked for years behind the scenes to make this possible!
