This is what happens in fascist states. Your local fascist government takes over an entire school system and punishes a city for being against the fascism. Black people in #memphisTenn are being punished and slaughtered by fascism. You don't see it in the news for a reason. Keep up with what's happening in #Tennessee It's coming to a state near you. #memphis #memphisprotest

Rep. Justin Jones: We care more about democracy than decorum.

Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost: It’s not about decorum. If it were about decorum, they would talk more about January 6th… It’s about keeping people who look like us out of power.

The movement the Justins built with Tennesseans who care about democracy is not going back in the bottle. Sound up. This is amazing.
Supporters march with Pearson singing “Ain’t gonna let Republicans turn me around” (based on freedom song / spiritual featured In Selma)

"The removals may have violated Jones’s and Pearson’s First Amendment rights...the rights of citizens of Memphis & Nashville to be represented by the legislators of their choice and rights the pair have...prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race."

Loving #VPKamalaHarris 's dynamic speech at #FiskUniversity in #Tennessee addressing the gun violence tragedy and the plight of #TheTennesseeThree. She is our leader for this moment.

So after a trip through an MRI scanner and a visit to a neurologist, it has been found that I have dangerous narrowing of the veins in my cerebral circulatory system.
For this reason, I need to avoid stress, as it can kill me, so America, could you please stop trying to kill my trans homies like @danirabbit, doing racism like #TheTennesseeThree, and generally speaking not holding the police accountable at all?
You are literally killing me.

Greg Sargent: “The expulsion of #TheTennesseeThree is part of a much bigger story: As #GOP legislatures become cesspools of reactionary rule, they're resorting to increasingly indefensible power plays to hold off rising tides of public backlash.
GOP state legislatures aren't just banning books, censoring teachers & outlawing care for #Trans youth. They're using their power to tamp down on the unexpectedly ferocious dissent unleashed by their reactionary #CultureWars.”

WSMV 4 Nashville:
“On Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke in support of the Tennessee lawmakers removed from the House after protesting for stricter gun laws.
‘The children should be able to live and be safe and go to school and not be in fear ... A democracy says you don’t silence the people.’”

VP #KamalaHarris at Fisk University with #TheTennesseeThree: “If the #StudentsDemand, if the #MomsDemand, if the people’s demand is not being heard by those who should listen and care … if I feel like I’m so right … shouldn’t I have the courage to debate it? Make your case!”

Tennessee Senate Democrats:
“Justin Pearson comforts a woman holding a sign that reads: ‘Covenant Mom.’
Reminder for the people in power: The families, who are burying children and loved ones murdered in last week’s #CovenantSchool shooting, deserve real action to stop gun violence.”

VP #KamalaHarris is on the ground in #Tennessee for a surprise visit with #TheTennesseeThree and the Democratic caucus following the expulsion of Justin Jones and Justin Pearson from the state legislature for gun protests. She joins Jones, Pearson and Johnson on stage for a rally at Fisk University.
The VP’s visit is “an important sign for young people across America that the Biden-Harris administration stands with them in the fight against #GunViolence.” - Andrew Weinstein

Barack Obama: “This nation was built on #PeacefulProtest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.
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.”

Sen. Chris Murphy:
“Remember where this started.
Just kids. Asking the adults in charge to protect them from being gunned down.
The GOP told them to screw off, then silenced anyone who spoke up.”

@staidwinnow 2/ Think Selma. Think the Woolworth’s lunch counter. Think Rosa Parks. Think the women of Iran burning their hijabs and Israelis standing up to Netanyahu. #PeacefulProtest is one of the most powerful forces for change on earth, which is why #fascists work so hard to silence us. Standing with an empty sign will get you arrested in Moscow. Even the symbol of protest scares #authoritarians. #TheTennesseeThree #Resistance
-
@staidwinnow Protests DO work. Did #Tennessee Republicans win today? No. They were so eager in their #racism & gun love to strike down their opposition that they handed a national & world platform to #TheTennesseeThree & all the young people rising up around the state. Justin Jones, Gloria Johnson & Justin Pearson began the day in the shadows and ended it as household names. States would not arrest BLM & climate activists if protests were ineffective. (cont…)
