I’m not going to shut up about any of this until the day my sons can go to school without having active shooter drills & fear that they could get murdered. And I know I live in seattle but I kid was killed by a gun THIS YEAR in our neighborhood hs so yeah I’m gonna keep screaming
This goes to show that the rush to vote this young man out completely ignores the compassion that children and parents deserve. Their bigotry and obsession with guns is disgusting.
💔 @JustinJPearson comforts a woman holding a sign that reads: “Covenant Mom.”
Reminder for the people in power: The families, who are burying children and loved ones murdered in last week’s #CovenantSchool shooting, deserve real action to stop gun violence.

Dear Tennessee House @GOP Members
Y’all just played yourselves.
You just put two brilliant men into the national spotlight.
You just energized even more young people to vote you all out.
You just broadcast your racism to the world.
#TenneseeThree
The TN house just created two progressive heroes and assured their own obliteration by a rage filled Gen Z who are tired of living in fear of slaughter at school, and the millennial parents who refuse to allow the same for their children. Eat shit, GOP.
The Tennessee House voted to expel two of the state’s youngest Black representatives, both Democrats, who had led a gun control protest at the Capitol in the wake of the Nashville school shooting. https://t.co/zKEPAqxYQP
It’s not teachers who are making your kids liberal. It’s the fact Republicans have been pushing the same bullshit failed solutions that continue to get kids killed in school for a generation. It’s not indoctrination- it’s their lived experience of fearing for their lives.
BREAKING NEWS: Democrat Tennessee Rep. Gloria Johnson was NOT expelled from the Tennessee House after a vote. She was asked moments later why fellow Democrat and African American, Justin Jones was expelled and she was not.
Rep Johnson: "I'll answer your question; it might have to do with the color of our skin."
We need answers after this fascist and possibly racist behavior.
Wow: Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, one of the Dems that the GOP is trying to expel from state legislature to protesting gun violence, calls out his colleagues on the floor
‘For years, one of your colleagues, an admitted child molester, sat in this chamber – no expulsion’
"What you're telling me is, you don't mind infringing free speech to protect children from this amorphous thing you think of, but when it comes to children that have died, you don't give a flying f*ck."
Jon Stewart is a national treasure.
@abikhalil_t That’s like saying we should have no laws and make everything legal because criminals will break laws. So by this logic we should make all drugs legal and accessible everywhere.
SCHOOLS AREN’T PRISONS. How are children more safe with armed guards at schools? Screw you Ted. 3 babies are dead. 3 mothers woke up without their kids. Perhaps they wouldn’t if the person didn’t have access to weapons.
The Covenant School shooting was horrific.
For everyone who says “thoughts & prayers aren’t enough,” I AGREE.
Ask why EVERY SINGLE SENATE DEM voted against my bill doubling police officers in school.
One armed officer could have stopped this lunatic, BEFORE a child was killed.
