NOW: Both chambers of the #ksleg have now successfully overridden @GovLauraKelly's veto of SB180- the so-called "Women's Bill of Rights". It will become law. Here's what the bill does (Thread) 1/
Evil, heinous people.
SB180, in addition to requiring trans people to use the bathrooms of their biological sex, also prevents trans women from accessing women’s rape crisis centers. It’s the most extreme anti-LGBTQ bill in the country.
In Call of the House now, with 83 votes out of 84 needed #ksleg
No uncontested elections. Vote them out. All of them.
Allies, now is the time to to support your Trans and intersex friends. They need you to fight for them in spaces they are denied access to. Speak up.
Rep Borjon (R) was the deciding vote on overriding the veto of SB180- which means this bill is now law.
It is one of the most extreme anti-trans bills in the country.
It bans trans & intersex people from single sex spaces such as bathrooms and domestic violence shelters #ksleg
Today the #ksleg House voted to override @govlaurakelly veto of HB 2238, the anti-trans student athlete bill.

Today is #TransDayofVisibility. As your governor, I will continue to stand up for all Kansans to protect your rights and call out any behavior that aims to discriminate and divide.

Transgender Day of Visibility is dedicated to recognizing the resilience and accomplishments of the trans community 🏳️⚧️
#transdayofvisibility
Happy Transgender Day of Visibility to all our Trans and non-binary friends! We see you, we love you, and we stand with you!
Trans-rights are human rights and don't let anyone tell you otherwise ♥️

DLCC is saying what we’ve known for a while: there is real momentum in Kansas to elect more Democrats! We’re ready for more elected leaders who take their responsibilities seriously and who listen to the people, and NOT play into degrading culture wars. Let’s #goblue, Kansas!
Despicable.
Kansas Republican Senators just amended a bill to more rapidly remove disabled voters from the “permanent” advance voter list. They did this while all of the Democratic committee members are not present because of a traffic jam around Topeka.

That's right! Call your Member of Congress and ask them to support my bill with @BernieSanders to make school meals universal!
Happy 13th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act! One of the largest expansions of healthcare coverage in history, millions of Americans owe their lives to the ACA & the protections it provides.
More work needs to be done, but the ACA was a vital step towards #HealthcareForAll

Thank you @GovLauraKelly for vetoing HB 2238.

#ksleg could spend time cutting grocery and back-to-school shopping taxes, advancing pay equity, creating jobs, legalizing medical cannabis, making our railroads safer, and more... but sure, let's keep trying to pass the same harmful bill expecting different results 🙄
NEW: @GovLauraKelly has vetoed a ban on transgender athletes in women's sports for the third year in a row #ksleg
"Let’s be clear about what this bill is all about – politics," she writes in the veto message
That's our Governor! Thank you @GovLauraKelly for unapologetically standing up for Trans-Youth!
