Parent of a third grader here. Thinking about families across TN learning this weekend their third grader is at risk of being retained. The law responsible for this mess is not only misguided but cruel. The third graders effected by this new policy are the kids who missed

It’s interesting that there appear to be Republicans on the floor right now breaking rules by video recording on the house floor while in session. #justsaying

WATCH: “This is not democracy.”

@NC5PhilWilliams lays out some of the ways democracy has been smothered to death in Tennessee — through absurd “voice votes” and last-minute amendments that rewrite entire bills.

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING: “I’m gonna die! I can’t breathe! I beg you!”

KNOXVILLE: Lisa Edwards insisted she was sick as @FortSanders Hospital discharged her. @Knoxville_PD arrested her, joked about her pain—she died in their car.

@CharmeAllenDA: "no charges"

So, which show is kid friendly? Hey Knoxville, thats your mayor in the pic on the right. I think they are both drag, but the one on the left is much much prettier and much less violent.

Is anyone feeling tremendous sadness about #LeslieJordan that you can’t quite articulate? How he was so funny, so talented, and then when the pandemic hit we got to hang out with him at his apartment and listen to beautiful stories and then laugh along with him? #HunkerDowners

New NBC poll in line with trend we’ve been seeing — expect high turnout that could exceed 2018, but Republicans still have an enthusiasm edge

Unlike any of these men, I've met a 12-year-old rape victim who was being forced to give birth. She didn't quite understand what was happening. When adults explained that she was going to have a baby, she asked if she could have a doll instead.

The same SCOTUS that said yesterday that states don’t have the ability to regulate guns today gave states the power to regulate women’s bodies.

If you don't need to get vaccinated because God will protect you, why do you need a gun?

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait, watch and work: you don't give up.
So we take care of the poor today. We pick up litter in our neighborhoods and trails. Left foot, right foot, breathe

When it’s useful for the oppressor, they’ll take the Bible literally.

When it challenges the oppressor, they’ll call it just a parable.
