oh hey i found another sexual predator who isn't a drag performer or transgender

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

Loving reminder to well-meaning progressives that the vast majority of folks in our country can't just move somewhere else. The ability to pick up and start a new chapter elsewhere is a privilege on so many levels. Please keep that in mind.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

CNN: “Why were those two expelled and you weren't?”

@VoteGloriaJ: “I think it's pretty clear. I'm a 60 year-old white woman and they’re 2 young black men.

[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…

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

It is rare, RARE, that you will see racism so surprising that it even catches *black* folks off guard. But, literally nobody I talked to, even as recently as a few hours go, thought Tennessee would have the unmitigated gall to expel the two black guys and not the white woman.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

Tennessee Republican lawmakers voting to expel two Black men from the legislature but sparing their white woman colleague is not an accident or coincidence. It is intentional. It is an attempt to signal a message of white nationalism to the state and the entire country.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

For those keeping score at home...

Things that WILL NOT get you expelled from the TN state legislature:
- child molestation
- domestic violence
- federal investigation
- peeing on your colleague's chair

Things that will:
- fighting to protect kids from gun violence

Dear Ma & Pa MAGA,

donald trump didn’t lower your taxes. He didn’t get your roads fixed or your bridges built. He didn’t get you healthcare coverage, lower the price of your prescriptions, decrease the deficit, end the opioid crisis, revive the coal industry, he didn’t make “covid disappear”, didn’t make Mexico “pay for the wall”, he didn’t “put America First” and he sure as hell didn’t “drain the swamp”.
So when you say he “fought for you”, you mean he validated your hate.
Because he didn’t do a goddamn thing for you other than that.

He hates who you hate.
And sadly, that’s all you think you need.

In Idaho you can't donate organs from someone who died w/o their prior consent—but Idaho's new abortion bill would force an 11-year-old rape victim to have her rapists child w/o her consent.

In short, even a corpse in Idaho has more rights over its body than do women & girls.😳

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

I'm tired of Republicans saying things like "If you want to ban AR-15's then why don't we ban cars since cars kill more people." Here's why this argument actually proves why we need more Gun Laws:

- Cars require a registration.
- Drivers need a license to use them.
- Drivers require insurance in case their car kills/injures someone.
- There are 100's of safety restrictions on cars before they are road-ready.
- A car user needs to pass a test to drive it.
- They also need to take a course in most states.
- There are dozens of restrictions based on age, health, etc.
- You can lose your right to drive a car if you don't use it properly.
- Cars are illegal to use when drunk.

[thucksgiving @TylerHuckabee]

if the “extreme left” had our way, this shooter would have never had access to a gun.

[Steve Rattner @SteveRattner]

It's the guns.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

The red line is when Republicans ended the national assault weapons ban.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

This is excellent.

Stewart: Why are you banning drag shows?

Dahm: The government has a duty to protect children

Stewart: Drag shows have killed zero kids. Firearms are the leading cause of death of children and you don't give a flying f*** about that. That's hypocrisy.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

After no fault divorce was legalized in 1970, female suicide rates dropped 20%🤯

The "strong 1950s family unit" that GOP is nostalgic about ignores record high female suicide, suffocating domestic violence, & zero female financial autonomy.

But maybe that's GOP's goal?

The devil doesn’t look like red lights and songs about sex.

He looks like a trusted pastor telling you he’s sorry, he’s not going to report your attacker to the police, your attacker is just too important to the ministry — and are you sure the attack wasn’t really your fault?

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

Children killed annually by mass education of Black history: 0

Children killed annually by mass book reading: 0

Children killed annually by mass shootings & firearms: 4400

GOP: The only way to protect our kids is ban history, ban books, & arm more kids with guns.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Marjorie Taylor Greene said that Sandy Hook and Parkland were staged and the parents are actors and the kids are really still alive.

Republicans just put her on the committee that oversees school safety.

But Ilhan Omar…

[Albert Jaragua Corado 🔻 @digitalurn]

Hi, I just wanted to put this here for all the fucking freak weirdos:

EVEN IF SOMEONE IS NOT COMPLYING WITH A COP'S ORDERS, IT DOES NOT MEAN THEY DESERVE TO DIE.

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

An overwhelming majority of white Evangelical Christians voted for Herschel Walker, a man who paid for abortions, lied, allegedly physically threatened and traumatized his wife, and fronts for Trump, a criminal vulgarian. Their religion is white supremacy, not Christianity.
