My dog Lady Artemis, needs help. She has a bladder stone that is making her bladder basically the size of a walnut & needs to have surgery to remove it. If anyone can retweet or donate, we’d greatly appreciate the help! ♥️

@scavendish Bad take

[Justin J. Pearson @Justinjpearson]

Our peaceful protest was because another preventable school shooting happened at Covenant School in Nashville & the People's House chose to ignore them and expel us instead! We must work tirelessly to protect our kids, communities, to end gun violence, and protect our democracy.

Y’all 😂 😆

[Olivia Julianna 🇺🇸🦅🗳️ @0liviajulianna]

What the absolute fuck.

Tennessee legislature has expelled Justin Jones for protesting, but did NOT expel Gloria Johnson who was protesting alongside him.

I’ll let you figure out what the difference between the two is here…

[Olivia Julianna 🇺🇸🦅🗳️ @0liviajulianna]

Update: they have now also expelled Justin Pearson.

Tennessee Republicans expelled two young black legislators for standing up for children’s lives, and allowed the white woman who did the same to keep her seat.

Pure racism.

[Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 @NickKnudsenUS]

This is so, so wrong.

In the 227 year history of Tennessee, only nine people have been expelled from the General Assembly:

-6 for refusing to confer citizenship on formerly enslaved persons.
-1 for taking a $1,000 bribe to kill a bill.
-1 for gross sexual misconduct.
-1 for alleged misappropriation of federal funds.

Never has a duly elected member of the legislature been expelled for doing what we elect them to do – give voice to their constituents.

Expelling Representatives @VoteGloriaJ, @brotherjones_ & @Justinjpearson will set a dangerous precedent. It will say to members of the General Assembly that they can speak on behalf of their constituents only if what they have to say is palatable to the Speaker of the House. It will say to Tennesseans that their voices only matter when Speaker Sexton agrees.

Nothing about these proposed expulsions is normal. They are a highly irregular abuse of procedural rules meant to silence dissent.

All Tennesseans must call on @Csexton25, the @TNGOP and all members of the Tennessee General Assembly to protect democracy and withdraw these resolutions at once.
