Wow: Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, one of the Dems that the GOP is trying to expel from state legislature to protesting gun violence, calls out his colleagues on the floor

‘For years, one of your colleagues, an admitted child molester, sat in this chamber – no expulsion’

@wondermann5 Wow!!!!

“We called for you to ban assault weapons and you respond with an assault on democracy.” – @brotherjones_ #TN3

[Sarah McCarthy @sarahmccarthytn]

These are the Tennessee Republicans who voted to suspend the rules and proceed with showing an edited video of the Tennessee Three protesting on the house floor last week. The #TN3 were not allowed to see the video beforehand.

“True peace is not merely the absence of tension, but the presence of justice” – @brotherjones_ quotes MLK when asked what the chant “No action, no peace!” means to him #TN3

@BrettFishA Thank you for the reminder

I live a block away from the site of the most recent mass shooting, and am feeling the weight of sorrow as I ponder @GovBillLee making guns easy get and the @TNGOP obsessing about drag queens being a threat to children.

It will be a beautiful day when we decide to protect kids rather than assault rifles.

The Nashville shooter had “2 assault rifles and a handgun.” Military weapons don’t belong on our streets. They are designed for one purpose: to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible… and that’s exactly what they keep getting used for.

We’ve won some big victories for working families in Massachusetts and across the country, but there’s a lot more to do. So today I’m making it official: I’m running for re-election to keep up the fight.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

There are moments when life seems to be a sealed tomb: all is dark, and around us we see only sorrow and despair. In #TodaysGospel (Jn 11:1-45) Jesus tells us that in these moments we are not alone. Precisely in these moments He comes closer than ever to restore life to us.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Tragically, looking at the politics of many Christians today, one would think Jesus took over the Roman Empire with his disciples and imposed his will on the world through political control rather than laying down his life out of self sacrificial love for the world.

If ur child asks 4a fish, will give a snake instead? Or if the child asks 4an egg, will give a scorpion? If u then who are evil know how 2give good gifts 2ur children how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit!"

In 2011, David Hampton and Dennis Creel won the contract to reforest an area of Oregon with Douglas fir trees but decided to plant deciduous Larch trees amongst the fir trees so that every Fall they turn into a gigantic smiley face. I just love the sheer cheekiness of that!
