Ugh. Big #grief wallop out of nowhere this morning. @Lin_Manuel #Hamilton got it right: "If I could trade his life for mine, he'd be standing here right now. And you would smile." #missingmitchell #18foreverstrong I miss him so much.

@realDailyWire Bless your heart. Those are elected representatives on the floor of our State House. How about doing some real journalism instead of #fakenews ???

I wish I could tell you my kids listen the first time I ask them to do something. But if I’ve asked 5-10 times and they still ignore me sometimes I raise my voice and yell. You know what? They usually listen.
@TNGOP You should have listened the first 1,000 times. Now we shout.

@KevinMKruse @RepThomasMassie So we should trust teachers with guns but not books, works of art, history, or science.

@SarahCalise I saw that earlier and was like... uhhhh

[Ryan Shead @RyanShead]

Why do Republicans want armed guards in every school in America?

…because they know police forces can’t handle the added job responsibility.

That means there will need to be private contract companies in-place to train and place said security. Who do you think will get those State and federal contracts? 😒

It’s the same reason we privatize the prison system. Because there is money to be made off of other peoples suffering. 💯

@JohnWesssley I was wondering this morning what @mitchellmielnik would make of the world today and saw your tweet. I am so proud of you and know he is too. Love and light!

After a difficult day for our city and community yesterday I received some personally challenging family news today. These last 2 weeks have been emotionally turbulent and I know emotional turbulence more than most people so that's saying something!

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Reminder that just last month Republicans wore AR-15 pins in place of where their American flag pin would normally go.

As I was thinking about teaching the 1990s in my classes in a couple of weeks, I was listening to Last Podcast OTL about #Columbine. Then today's #Nashville news comes across too close to home. How have we leaned nothing in 25 years?!

It’s not the drag queens.
It’s not the pot, not the porn, not the trans kids, not the video games, it’s not the locks on the doors, and it sure as shit ain’t the books about Rosa Parks.
You wanna PROTECT OUR KIDS?
Then do something about the motherfucking guns.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Tennessee Republicans in 2023:

Banned drag shows

Moved to significantly expand access to guns in the state via a series of bills — including one which would lower the carry age from 21 to 18

Are you mad? Are you broken? Are you raw? Good—just don’t be numb. Be a single issue voter this next election cycle. Write. Donate. Scream. Don’t. Be. Numb. Our children deserve better.

THIS is last year's Christmas card from Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican who represents the district that Covenant School is in in Nashville. #tnleg

@arielmaelambe Thank you for your kind wishes. These sorts of clickbait headlines trivialize so many things that can't be made better no matter what we do. Your post was spot on!

[Dr. Tara Mitchell Mielnik @tmmvol]

@hartjshirley @tnstatemuseum @TennHistory That was my 1st reaction

[Dr. Tara Mitchell Mielnik @tmmvol]

In the continuing saga of "how low can Tennessee go" we present HB 1023, requiring the @tnstatemuseum to give all Confederate artifacts to the SCV. No word on if they are actually owned by @TennHistory...
