What the extremists are doing in state houses are political coups. This is a throwback to a pattern Southern states used to overthrow movement success in the 1870s and 1970s. 

We must remember why we find ourselves here:

Classic example of the microasssaults and microaggressions Black people experience daily. Vivek is wrong, AND should be silenced on this topic. That is some series privilege. @CNN seriously?!

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

according to the NYT this interview that Don Lemon conducted last week with Vivek Ramaswamy played a role in his firing. Note co-host Poppy Harlow sitting silently while Lemon goes after Vivek.

Transgender Montana lawmaker Zooey Zephyr was again prevented from taking part in debate over a measure banning gender-affirming care for minors as her supporters brought the House session to a halt — chanting “Let her speak!” from the gallery. https://t.co/J6SGW8BJZy

Right now, the TN house is voting on not using children’s gender pronouns which will intentionally discriminate against children who are transgender and gender-fluid as they’re learning and understanding their identity. @tnhousegop must learn to help children and not hurt them.

@NOTronald_ Behind the scenes and under noses? They aren’t seeking to hide or cover up anything. It’s happening right in front of our faces, and they DGAF.

@NOTronald_ It wouldn’t stop there I can assure you, if you belong to any group not deemed acceptable, you could have your care delayed or void. Race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender, sexual orientation, etc.

OUTRAGEOUS: A new bill proposed by Florida Republicans, and backed by Ron DeSantis, would give doctors and insurance companies the freedom to deny care to patients who are LGBTQ people or women. The so-called “Protections of Medical Conscience Act” was proposed by the Health & Human Services Committee and Healthcare Regulation Subcommittee of the Florida House of Representatives.

The bill would allow healthcare providers to refuse to treat or pay for the treatment of people based on “conscience-based objections without… threat of adverse actions.”

Under the law, doctors and insurance companies could deny treatment and payment if they feel the patient goes against their religious, moral or ethical beliefs. Critics say this would impact women and LGBTQ people directly, as doctors could claim they have religious, moral or ethical objections to treating LGBTQ patients, or providing medical care such as birth control, abortion referrals or gender-affirming care. 

The bill also provides doctors and insurance companies with legal protection for their objections, and doesn’t require them to refer their patients to another doctor.

Vote Sexton out!!!

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton doesn’t stop at silencing legislators. Tonight, he had this grandmother arrested for speaking in the gallery against a bill to abolish community oversight boards of police that would undo the will of Nashville voters. This is not democracy.

This broke me — Local authorities weren’t even trying to act like they wanted justice for Rasheem.
#SaveMississippi

Rasheem Carter was found decapitated — still no arrests months later even though he gave his mom the name of the individual he was fearful of and told her that he was being chased by a group of white men in 3 trucks.

Police told his mom there was NO foul play within a day of his remains being found.

Attorney Ben Crump is calling for help from the DOJ, but where’s Mississippi’s own AG on this⁉️ @LynnFitchAG

TRIGGER WARNING:

Koko Da Doll was shot & killed here in ATL, she’s the 2nd trans woman murdered in less than 2 weeks in the city.

My trans sisters, be careful. You won’t see much news coverage. There are no suspects in custody for either murders. #BlackTransLivesMatter 🏳️‍⚧️

A group of friends pulled into a driveway to turn around when 65-year-old Kevin Monahan came out of a house and shot at the car, killing 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis.

America has more guns than people, and our sick, obsessive gun culture is killing us. https://t.co/lqQ7i08HoT

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

It’s morally insane that in Tennessee they can pass laws to ban books, ban conversations about racism and bias in schools, ban drag shows, and even try to ban Black legislators they disagree with… but we can’t pass a ban on militarized guns from terrorizing our communities…
