Less than 12 hours removed from two extractions. Mouth in a lot of pain, but as I read about this, heavier is the pain in my heart.

Here's my question(s) @NicoleClowneyAR & @JimHendren1 do you two feel like y'all should be leading this discussion?

Does it make sense for two NWA lawmakers to be the sole voices for this legislative language?

Was there not ONE African American lawmaker to add as a co-sponsor to this bill?

Does Rep. Flowers & Ryan Davis being targeted earlier this year not outweigh your experience with Hate?
Were there not enough voices from both sides of the aisle and both chambers that wanted to genuinely contribute to this MUCH needed social justice reform?

Did this truly blindside your colleagues?

Arkansas looks like the last place team crossing the finish line on this one..
Is holding the participation trophy worth it?
In my district, a young black man was kidnapped, held captive, tortured, returned back DEAD & unrecognizable. "Aftermath" was written in the location he was found. His name is Marquis Martin.

I didn't know him personally, but I had to speak those who wanted justice so bad!!
Are y'all lives built like that? Experiencing hate EVERYDAY of your life, and to be looked at as a SMALL "Hope for Change" when there's not a single position or influence you have other than your VOICE & ACTIONS!
If you don't know what it's like, if your community is so inclusive that things like this barely happen, if you will never be the target of hatred...why are y'all leading this?
I truly trust the intentions of Rep. Clowney, but this bill needs more voices.
