#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

“know your place, boy” attitude

@NC5

Our photographer Devin Crawford had a bird's eye view of the "shove" that happened on the House floor as House Speaker @CSexton25 was trying to leave the chamber.

The aforementioned incident was between Sexton and Rep. @Justinjpearson.

The Deplorable rot is not just in the #TNleg!

#JustinJones , the #TNleg legislator from #Nashville who was one of the #TennesseeThree knows an “#AsinineGovernor “ when he sees one! ✅ 👉 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/tennessee-democrat-justin-jones-jacksonville-shooting_n_64eac5bde4b0a48e7f77edca

#KremlinCameronSexton shoulda taken the stairs at the #TNleg instead of subjecting himself to ridicule waiting for an elevator while surrounded by #Tennessee citizens who value children more than guns! 👉 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZT8FGwdcW/

#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!

More folks getting tossed out of the #TNleg in #Nashville for valuing children more than guns. 🤔 👉 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZT8FHKbrv/

Governor #BillDeathLee getting more than he bargained for in the #SpecialSession on #PublicSafety !

Glenda Glover did such a good job leading #Tennessee State University that the Freshman class last year was TWICE as big as it had ever been!

But the racist #TNleg wasn’t happy about her success, and has treated her like the ‘#TwoJustins ‘ in the #TennesseeThree.

#BrianKelsey , a former #BananaRepublican #Tennessee state senator who was convicted of corruption, is arguing that he shouldn’t serve ANY jail time because his UNindicted co-conspirators didn’t. 😂

Note added in humor: One of the co-conspirators is former state Rep. #JeremyDurham aka #PantsCandy. He wasn’t charged because he had ALREADY been expelled from the #TNleg for repeated #sexualharassment !

Student #pronouns trending. Proposed #TNLeg specifies that a teacher or other employee of a public school or LEA is not required to refer to a student using the student's preferred pronoun if the pronoun is not consistent with the student's #biologicalSex
https://www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1543779

#TNHB1 still trending. As enacted, #TNLeg prohibits healthcare providers from performing on a minor or administering to a minor a medical procedure for the purpose of enabling a minor to identify with a purported identity inconsistent with the minor’s sex

Negligent #GunSafety laws in the state of #Tennessee set the stage for the tragedy of the mass-shooting of children and staff at the #CovenantSchool in #Nashville.

To amplify and coordinate the voices of the #TennesseeThree in the #TNleg and the spontaneous grassroots movement that erupted after the inevitable result of #BananaRepublicans protecting #GunsOverChildren , a non-profit organization has been formed; Voices for Safer Tennessee (#SaferTN , safertn.org).

TIL on @Wikipedia about the #DragIsntDangerous online telethon ⬇️ to raise money in support of #TheResistance to fascist anti-#LGBTQ legislation passed by #BananaRepublicans in the #TNleg and signed by #Tennessee anti-#science governor #BillLee.

#MAGA morons in the #TNleg have magnified the voices of the #TennesseeThree , who no longer need the bullhorn that they previously had to use to be heard over the voices of #Tennessee students and mothers who are angry at #BananaRepublicans in the Capitol who protect #GunsAndOil over children and our environment! 👉 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZTRTtkvAJ/

I'm optimistic the GOP is getting ready to implode like the 1925 KKK did in Indiana which went from running statehouses nationwide to being seen as evil incarnate. Evil can't help consuming itself. Just look at Tennessee for the beginning of self-destruction.

Vote every time! Even if it might seem like your vote doesn't matter. Evil wins when people are demoralized.

Trending: #DrunkDriving & #ChildSupport. A look at newly enacted #TNLeg requiring #DUI drivers who cause a fatality pay child support for their victims’ surviving children. This bill & many others around the country are modeled after #BentlysLaw.

Students are getting killed in classrooms by #AssaultRifles , but #BananaRepublicans in the #TNleg just banned #TikTok on college and university campuses. The law is limited to those that are “state-funded”.

But tuition and fees are the largest source of revenue at #MTSU or #UTKnoxville , about twice as much as state funding.

At #Vanderbilt tuition and fees are the largest source of revenue, about twice as much as federal funding.

Is Vanderbilt “a federally funded university”? 🤔

I wonder how much 💰 the owner of the bulletproof windows and doors company who wrote this legislation ⬇️ donated to #BananaRepublicans in the #TNleg ?

#SaveAmerica and #DoNotCollaborateWithFascists !

Instead of listening to #Tennessee citizens and the #TennesseeThree , the frickin’ morons in the #TNleg want to FURTHER endanger students by making classrooms MORE like death ☠️ traps with unbreakable windows 🪟!

Students have saved their lives from shooters and fires by breaking windows. 👉 https://www.bridgemi.com/talent-education/michigan-state-university-911-calls-students-broke-windows-escape-shooting?amp

But #BananaRepublicans protect #GunsAndOil over children and our environment! 😡

@shiruken

#JustinJones to #JohnRagan (and other #BananaRepublicans in the #TNleg ): “Stop using God to justify your bigotry.”

#CameronSexton ⬆️ (bangs gavel) “You are out of order!”
