“We broke the glass of your false power…” YES @brotherjones_ 🙌👏 You model Power within, not power over. Thank you for your voice, courage, leadership, and presence. Keep going.

What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.
The Tennessee three — Reps. Justin Jones, Gloria Johnson and Justin Pearson — walk into the floor to cheers from protesters ahead of House session. They face expulsion from the legislature over their role in gun reform protests last week. Updates: https://t.co/QU3GyEZNpn
Today @WilliamLamberth, a Tennessee state representative, asked students protesting gun violence which gun they’d like him to use when shooting them: “If there’s a firearm out there you’re comfortable being shot with, please show me which one it is.”

Hey @GovBillLee - Can you hear their cries? Will you respond? Will the TN Legislature do ANYTHING? These are our children crying out for the adults in the room to step up. Will you step up? Will you protect them now that they are BORN?
“A resolution to expel Justin Jones from his seat as a member of the House of Representatives…”
Just handed this on the House floor, but they still have to vote. We’ll not be intimidated. THE PEOPLE are demanding we act to stop kids from being murdered in school. #goodtrouble
I don’t know what else to say except this image taken by @NicoleHester90 will be seared into my memory for the rest of my life.
I can’t look at it and not start crying
