“I’m weary. There’s only so many times you can walk in the room and tell someone they’re not coming home tomorrow…I would simply ask you to do something. Because doing nothing, which is what we have been doing, is not working.”
– Louisville, Kentucky Dr. Jason Smith
WOW. Rep. Justin Jones is leading a march with thousands of people back to the Tennessee Capitol building right now. This is what democracy & a movement look like. Republicans messed around & they’re about to find out. Sweet, poetic Justice.

They have:

- higher infant mortality
- higher maternal mortality
The Republican Party today made it clear as day that a peaceful Black man with a megaphone is more threatening to them than a thousand violent white men with deadly weapons.
Republicans won't do SHIT when it comes to gun violence, but try to tell me to calm down.
NO.
We can't calm down. People are dying everyday while we wait.
Frost: All of this because politicians in this chamber that have been bought by the NRA, cowards who wasted our time passing a parental bill of rights not giving a damn about the rights of children to be able to go to their classrooms without the fear of being gunned down
