The state where Martin Luther King Jr. was killed by gun violence just expelled 2 young Black legislators for trying to stop gun violence.

THEY DON'T SAY THIS ABOUT ANY OTHER TYPE OF CRIME. But when it comes to the ability to use weapons of war against civilians, they say nothing can and should be done, because people who want to shoot up schools are going to shoot up schools, so let the chips fall where they may.

Tennesseans: We want higher wages, access to healthcare, affordable housing, and great public education for our kids

@TNGOP: Best we can do is arrestin’ Drag Queens and bringing back firing squads

Holy shit. This openly gay Republican just completely dismantled Missouri Republicans’ proposed Don’t Say Gay law. (h/t @HeartlandSignal)

The message Jimmy Carter left in Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object from Earth, is breathtaking.

It’s the 15th day of the year and 1,699 people have already died from gun violence, including 77 children.

But all Republicans want to talk about are gas stoves and the gender of M&Ms.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

This week:
— Missouri Republicans passed a new rule banning women lawmakers from showing their arms
—Alabama’s Republican Attorney General said women can be jailed for abortion pills
—Oklahoma Republicans intro’d a bill to jail women for abortions

But gas stoves.

Republicans vs. Democrats during the Speaker vote tonight.

The “fuck your feelings” and “freedom” party had a member cry on the floor of Congress today to oppose Americans having the freedom to marry.

[Brad Batt for Tennessee State House @bradbatt]

It’s 2022 and I just watched a grown-ass white woman cry on the floor of congress because she wants everyone to vote against gay marriage

America: Land of the Free. If the GOP okays it.

[Brad Batt for Tennessee State House @bradbatt]

Nothing captures the true essence of the MAGA movement more than an American flag burned into a two-by-four that you can use to beat children

The obscenity of wealth inequality is visible everywhere in Nashville. Do not normalize this. It isn't okay and it doesn't have to be this way.

Instead of incentives to businesses and developers, we need peer pressure for living wages and dignified housing.

BREAKING: Donald Trump, the twice-impeached former president who lost by 7 million votes in the 2020 election, whose last act in office was to instigate a coup attempt to corruptly retain power, is running for president in 2024.

Arizona GOP candidate Randy Kaufman said he wants "our children protected [from] the progressive left.”

He was recently arrested for masturbating outside of a preschool. And he's still on the ballot.

Just so we're clear, Republicans want to ban abortions, books, dropboxes, polling places, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and the acknowledgement of LGBTQ Americans in classrooms.

But sure, "party of personal freedoms." Got it.

a more detailed video shows the victims of the police shooting and clear video of the man disarming himself

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

So a $700 billion bailout for the banks, an $80 billion bailout for the auto industry, a $50 billion bailout for the airlines and a $3 trillion Fed bailout for the stock market are all "capitalism" but unemployment checks are "socialism?"
