Today in pop-health sub, the committee killed bills to protect Tennessean’s right to an IVF and contraception.
Let that sink in and if women aren’t livid already, then you aren’t paying attention.
NEWS!! THE WILLIAMSON COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD VOTED TO KEEP THE FIRST GROUP OF CHALLENGED BOOKS ON THE SHELVES! Your voices did this, Williamson County.
Second vote happening soon one one last vote....
The Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen BARELY allowed for this year's Pride celebration to move forward due to fears related to "decency." Meanwhile in their county, a pastor is facing charges of child sexual exploitation.
Drag queens do not appear to be the problem.
Former SNL cast member Victoria Jackson yesterday at the Franklin City Hall, Tennessee vote on whether or not the Gay Pride Parade should be permitted this year: "God hates sodomy. He hates homosexuality. … and god hates pride.” h/t @Mike_Hixenbaugh@JoeMyGod
There is more love and compassion in this clip of @Justinjpearson comforting a Covenant Mom than anything I’ve seen come out of the state legislature in a decade
Not only do we need Justin reappointed immediately, we need a dozen more just like him
The same body that fought to keep the kkk grand Wizard statue in the Capitol just expelled the 2 black guys and kept the white lady - make of that what you will 🤔
I stand with #TheTennesseeThree. While @TNGOP leadership is power drunk, afraid, & getting this all wrong. I hope reasonable voices among @TNGOP will prevail & @VoteGloriaJ, @brotherjones_, & @Justinjpearson will remain in positions. Committees have already been stripped. 1/
Students skipped school to rally to end school shootings. They say “enough is enough” and want to see gun reform legislation. This is in the wake of the Covenant School shooting.

RIGHT: A “Christmas card” posted by the congressman who represents that child’s district
The school shooting in Nashville is heart-wrenching. No student, teacher or family should experience the fear and trauma of gun violence. Enough is enough. Congress needs to once again ban assault weapons and pass gun violence prevention legislation to keep our children safe.

Awesome big number with @MarenMorris@outsidechild13 & friends bringing drag queens on stage at #LoveRising NASHVILLE. Thousands in attendance, hundreds of thousands raised. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈❤️ #LoveWins
If you were focused on @GovBillLee quietly signing the drag felony bill and trans youth health care ban, or the Republican who wants to bring Lynching back, or the Swastika thanking Gov lee hanging from a bridge — you may have missed this ugly little nugget…
