Local Swifties & fans. It’s time to recommit to last year’s pledge. We want Taylor to continue to feel safe & comfortable here in KC. Regular & social media are insane already. 1 slip-up could cause a very bad situation. Pls share.

I’m not sure about MO’s Shoot First Law (aka Stand Your Ground)—in KS there’s no duty to retreat if there is a perceived threat to person or PROPERTY. This dangerous law empowers vigilantes to shoot first, ask questions later—pre-trial immunity lets them get away with it. #ksleg

Why public schools matter… - no applications for any child - specialized services based on need - no extra costs for tutoring - career & college preparation - transportation … most important, amazing teachers, staff and admin who are dedicated to educating and loving kids.
