Dear @SarahHuckabee

The man in this photo with you was just sentenced to 22 years in prison.

@MargaretRenkl thank you for this piece. Worded so beautifully. I believe we in TN are going to turn our state around. From insanity to sanity when it comes to common sense. And good character. And kindness. Mama Bears will win.

Of the Tennessee legislature’s failure to pass meaningful gun reform, @MargaretRenkl writes: “Instead of passing a law preventing civilians from carrying weapons of war, they enacted a rule prohibiting spectators from carrying small signs into meetings.” https://t.co/pI6urLi1Z6

I am absolutely shocked that there are so few "retweets" and "likes" for @SenAlexPadilla's tweet memorializing Lauri Carleton.

Please read his tweet: She was MURDERED for displaying a pride flag outside of her store in Lake Arrowhead.

May her memory be a blessing.

@LibbyMbc Sending love and peace.

I’ve long admired this young man and how he has used a platform borne of tragedy to become one of our country’s most compelling advocates against gun violence and gun protection. I finally got to meet @davidhogg111 at the #MarchOnWashington today. #MOW23 #NextGeneration

@TheTNHoller @JasonLPowell @CSexton25 @tnhousegop Thank you, @JasonLPowell, for your powerful objection to @CSexton's rules that silence and smother dissenting voices.

WATCH: “Y’all mean a lot to us. I know I’m a Republican, but you guys stood up for us. This is not a partisan issue.”

Trump: “I have to head down to Atlanta to get ARRESTED by a Radical Left, Lowlife District Attorney for A PERFECT PHONE CALL, and having the audacity to challenge a RIGGED & STOLEN ELECTION. THE EVIDENCE IS IRREFUTABLE!”

So irrefutable it was thrown out 61 times in court.

[Holly McCall @jhollymc]

From @JRClemmons on an injunction restoring the right to have signs in the Legislature: "It is troubling how often the citizens of our state have to return to the courthouse just to protect their basic constitutional rights from being violated by this GOP supermajority."

@NC5PhilWilliams @brotherjones_ I truly hope the constituents in Tennessee notice and elect another party. This is out of control.

[Bryan Langan @BryanLanganTN]

@NC5PhilWilliams This is our @TNGOP silencing the voice of their constituents in action!
We aren’t even allowed to hold up a piece of 8.5x11 paper.
They don’t have to read it.
It’s obvious they’ll ignore it anyway, but as constituents, we should have the right to express our opinions.

[Holly McCall @jhollymc]

Duly elected officials mighty skeered of 8.5- x 11-inch paper.

[Lauren T. Rider @LaurenTRider]

All eyes on Nashville this week... and the start doesn't look good.

"Rather than allow Tennesseans inside their own State Capitol, they have cordoned off most of the rotunda and half the gallery for special interests."  (2)

Chair of the House Democratic Caucus @JRClemmons is out with a statement on closures at the Tennessee Capitol: “Our Republican colleagues often refer to this as the ‘People’s House,’ but it turns out they don’t want people in the House at all." (1)

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

Dear @POTUS @VP @CivilRights I implore you to immediately dispatch observers from the DOJ to assess and chronicle a comprehensive attempt to silence elected members of the Tennessee general assembly and citizens of our state.

Pro-tip: Fear and intimidation tactics come from the boys who are scared to show their faces. If they're really proud- why are they hiding?

[American Library Association @ALALibrary]

We condemn—in the strongest terms possible—the violence, threats of violence and other acts of intimidation that are increasingly taking place in America’s libraries, including these recent threats directed at suburban Chicago/Lake County libraries. 1/2 https://t.co/rjWNcQXZoS
