I answer why questions for a living.

Today I taught class like I do every Monday. In doing so, it's possible that I broke TN’s educational gag order law. Education is transformative & collaborative, not divisive. Is that what our legislature is afraid of? #UTSpeakIn #transformativenotdivisive https://t.co/BtoCecMmnB

@tequilamjohnson If equity alliance literally tweeted "instructions for the day for white progressives", that would be the best thing that ever happened to my social justice efforts.

@tequilamjohnson This doesn't address the root problem you raise of structural white power in movements, but ...

@VoteGloriaJ We love our Oma. She really is one of a kind!

ICYMI: This is the @TennFirearms lobbyist who has the ears of GOP lawmakers in the Tennessee legislature as they discuss new gun laws after the #CovenantSchoolShooting. He's unapologetic in his belief that gun rights trump public safety. ***Must watch!*** (Please like and share.)

@brotherjones_ Tell us which GOP reps to call to support this legislation and make sure it sees a full open debate on the house floor. Committee? Sexton? All of 'em??? Thank you doesn't cut it.
But thank you.

NEW — Sen. @CharlaneOliver & Rep. @brotherjones_ have filed The “Protect Kids Not Guns Act”.

Read it here: https://t.co/SvxMmbOdDW

[Kristina Gehrman @KristinaGehrman]

@TheTNHoller @CharlaneOliver @brotherjones_ Ok so who are the committee members who will kill this bill, what are their phone numbers and districts? What do we do to get this bill fully debate on the house and senate floors? @VoteGloriaJ @RepMcKenzie @Justinjpearson

BREAKING

Tennessee House Speaker @CSexton25 secretly bought a 600K home in Nashville

He went to extensive efforts to shield the purchase from the public

It raises serious Qs about whether Sexton legally represents his district and whether he is misusing taxpayer funds

@Campbell4TN Boo. Completely inadequate and zero surprising

Dozens of us on the faculty at the University of Tennessee taught last year in deliberate defiance of the divisive concepts law already on the books in TN. Don't think we won't do it again. We're educators, not cowards.

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

To be clear, they ended discussion on a bill to end discussion on “divisive concepts” in universities. They just can’t help themselves.

[Kristina Gehrman @KristinaGehrman]

@VoteGloriaJ Zero surprised. 💯 Disappointed.

[Kristina Gehrman @KristinaGehrman]

@VoteGloriaJ It's hard to know what to do when they won't answer their phones. My rep Sam McKenzie has staffers answering his phones! The GOP knows they're in the minority on all of these culture wars things. We have to vote them out. we have to run for their seats!

@AnnaCaudill4 @jamiescoop @GovBillLee @TNGOP @TN_DCS This might be a good moment to remember this story. She is still on the bench. https://t.co/8LcRmiWADf

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

Right now they have shut down Democrats debate on SB817, a bill to end discussions of race and sex and more in universities. They have clearly learned nothing from the past two weeks.

[Kristina Gehrman @KristinaGehrman]

I'd like to see this bill discussed on the floor of both the state House and the state Senate

Our @TNDemocrats continue to lead on #GunSense issues. #PublicSafety #ProtectOurChildren

@JRClemmons I'm a philosophy professor and one of my favorite moments on television of all time was when you looked at Cameron Sexton and wiggled your fingers and said, "you can't have it both ways." Ahh, philosophical methods in action.

[Kristina Gehrman @KristinaGehrman]

@wendi_c_thomas None of the republicans showed up for the vote

@RepMcKenzie nice work with teen voting info measure!! I was practicing math with my five and six year old yesterday and we figured out how many years it will be until they can vote. Thank you for bringing that back so quickly!
