Tennessee government to fund religious zealots to tell lies about voluntary abortion, deny funds to cops to investigate involuntary sex and pregnancy. Nothing law, order, or truth here. Just patriarchy. @CarwilBJ/1648786115640393728

In the face of growing #GunControl protests in the state, Tennessee lawmakers have put their bill to expand gun rights on hold until the 2024 legislative session. SB 1503 / HB 1005 may return, but this is a real achievement. wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=SB1503 #TNleg

Prior to the #TennesseeThree expulsion, a teacher's rally protesting guns was already planned for 8am this morning. (It's a professional development day at MNPS.) Now democracy is on the line.
