After every mass shooting we’re told it’s “too soon” to talk about the failed policy choices that allow this happen day after day in America.

The truth is it’s too late.

The time to act is NOW— we don’t have to accept mass death to appease the profits of the gun industry.

[Rep. Zooey Zephyr @ZoAndBehold]

I have been informed that during tomorrow’s floor session there will be a motion to either censure or expel me.

I've also been told I'll get a chance to speak. I will do as I have always done—rise on behalf of my constituents, in defense of my community, & for democracy itself.

The first openly-trans state legislator in Montana may be expelled tomorrow for speaking up against GOP hypocrisy and complicity. She is overwhelmingly popular in her district. This will not end well for the Montana GOP.

ICYMI: This is the quickest resignation of a public official in my career. (More details in link below.)

I love whipping out the spring/summer wardrobe and seeing all the cute clothes I forgot about and remembering my favorite warm weather fits 🌞

The new Biden title IX trans sports regulations feel like a betrayal.

They allow for birth certificate sex, invasive physical exams, and more.

They regurgitate right wing talking points without addressing them.

BREAKING: @brotherjones_ a duly elected representative, has been expelled from the Tennessee State House for standing up for kids killed by guns. This is fascist, undemocratic behavior. #TennesseeThree

GOP response: “We’re not turning schools into prisons, we are turning them into fortresses. A prison keeps people in, a fortress keeps people out” 🤦🏻‍♀️ #TenneseeThree

Today, democracy is on trial. In TN House of Reps, 3 of our @TNDemocrats face expulsion for temporarily, peacefully interrupting a House floor session for <30 mins. 75 Republicans seek to silence 200k Tennesseans, bc legislative business was briefly delayed. Abuse of power.

@turnerjoylynch i relate to him lol i do the same thing to my gf like every day

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

Tonight as Tennessee House Republicans push forward to schedule vote on our expulsion, Speaker Sexton orders the gallery cleared as crowd chants “fascists.”

Media forced out at as well.

Then, Rep. Lafferty (R-Knox) pushes me and grabs my phone.

This is a sad day for Tennessee.

me optimistically adding lemon juice to my batched smoothies to preserve the color, then blending it and it turns out to be the ugliest color you’ve ever seen, is a metaphor for how the month of March went

Texas heard SB888 yesterday, an anti-trans bill targeting doctors caring for trans youth.

After one person spoke, the chair then read off the names of 3 people to speak next...

And just...

Watch...

God I love Gen Z💀

REMINDER: @GovBillLee & the @TNGOP just appointed Jordan Mollenhour to the board of education— whose company was sued for selling ammo to an underage mass killer (SANTA FE) and sold ammo to at least one more (AURORA)

He has ZERO education experience.
