#BananaRepublicans in #Tennessee control the Executive Branch and both chambers of the #TNleg , by a supermajority. Governor #BillLee called a Special Session to pass new #GunLaws to protect children after the #CovenantSchoolShooting in #Nashville.

As expected, the #ClownCarousel was a #DoNothing circus. Proving #Republicans care more about #GunRights that children’s lives. 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/tennessee-special-session-ends-without-new-gun-reforms/ar-AA1fZ0un

🗳️ 💩 👉 🚽

#TNleg Rep. #ChrisTodd told parents of the elementary school children killed in #Nashville ‘s #CovenantSchoolShooting that if “wouldn’t have mattered” if the shooter’s guns had been confiscated. The #MadisonCounty , #Tennessee representative said they would’ve used a car! 😡 👉 https://www.wsmv.com/2023/08/24/tn-lawmaker-says-restricting-gun-access-wouldnt-have-impacted-covenant-school-massacre/

#Mentalillness is not just an issue with people BREAKING laws, but also some MAKING them!

Teachers in #Tennessee celebrated #TeacherAppreciationWeek with hope in a new Commissioner of #Education. https://mainstreetmediatn.com/articles/cheathamcountyexchange/opinion-advice-for-the-new-commissioner-of-education/?pubid=murfreesboropost

They won’t miss the old one, who was just a smiling face to mask the fact that #BananaRepublicans want to destroy #PublicEducation. But the reported reason she left NOW is interesting: The feeble response of governor #BillLee to #CovenantSchoolShooting.

Incredible. In the midst of suffering, he stands strong because he knows where his wife is now. #CovenantSchoolShooting https://twitter.com/hunterhoagland/status/1641633667448467458?s=12&t=jZpvCbErhn9eO-kBIpS_ew

When the shooter is a white cis straight male:

"What a poor lost soul. What tragedy could have ensued that would lead him to such extreme actions? #VoicesOfTheHellmouth etc"

When the shooter is in any way variant:

"Where and how were they radicalized? Could their <insert immutable characteristic> ideology have factored in?"

#CovenantSchoolShooting

The right is using the #covenantschoolshooting as an opportunity to whip up anti-trans hatred. This is no time to sit quietly by. You’re either an ally or a hater. Which side are you on? #TransAlly
