UPDATE: reportedly ALL Dems were stripped of committees… but white male house Dems are still listed. Only Black reps & women removed. Weird!
Sexton + TN House Republicans not beating the “it’s about race” allegations.
(P.S. It’s all standing committees. We have screenshots.)
Hundreds of students at The Watertown High School in Wisconsin walked out of school after the conservative school board, banned a song with no lyrics whatsoever from being played by the school band.
The school board claimed that this song “indoctrinated students and endorsed violence”.
It was “A Mother of a Revolution,” and it had NO LYRICS AT ALL.
REP. @VoteGloriaJ: “I was like this can’t be real, but it is. I went to the website… House Republicans are just big ol’ racists and don’t care who knows it.”
Gloria confirms what we said — White male Dems (except Powell) still have committees, Black & Female Dems were removed.
Seriously?!? What is happening?
Are y’all saying that high school kids in the year of our Lord 2026 should not be able to access ‘Roots’?
Alex Haley is a Tennessean for the love of God and one we celebrate. That’s why there’s a museum in Henning and a statue in Knoxville.
“It’s an insult to the intelligence of the people in this state.”
@yarbro shreds the lie🤥from @SenJohnStevens & TN Republicans race wasn’t used to make the map, puts it in (racist) historical context, and says they couldn’t racially gerrymander it any better. #Memphis#JimCrow
SOUTH CAROLINA — @RepJamesClyburn: “Why is it when you have a 75% white district that’s not racial, but you have a 45% Black district that is racial? There’s no way the numbers bear this out… I never thought I’d see the day the Supreme Court would be so openly partisan.”
LAWSUIT: “Three Memphis voters, through the American Civil Liberties Union, have filed a federal lawsuit against Tennessee leaders, claiming the state’s new congressional maps are discriminating against Black voters.”

Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on.
This move strips nearly 2 million Tennesseans from the representation they deserve in TN state leg.
BTS’ “ARIRANG” surpasses Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” to become the ONLY album in history to chart all of its tracks on the Billboard Global 200 for 7 consecutive weeks.
