1. 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

3. The Western left is not intellectually prepared for a looming set of debt crises that isn't centered on the Washington Consensus and IFIs. We live in an age of multipolar capitalism, but we have failed to re-theorize our solidarity in response. @TonamiPlayman/1646236796907581442

12. 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.

15. Strategy thoughts on #NashvilleWalkout: TN legislative election is 19 months away. And high school students largely cannot vote. Like Civil Rights protesters, their power is to shame, disrupt, catalyze, and electrify others. mastodon.online/@Carwil/110144268219249158

18. Nearly 30 years ago, I discovered that I usually knew less about a topic after listening to a president speak than I did before. (The turning point was Clinton on Haiti.) So I almost never do. I read transcripts if needed. Has rarely failed me. All the more true w #Trump.

19. All Eyes on Tennessee's suppression of democracy in diverse cities: 2022: Republicans divided Nashville in three US House districts. 2023: State GOP cut Nashville City Council in half, seized control of airport, stadium boards. Thursday could expel 3 Dems from House.

26. Many of the tweaks in Musk-era Twitter have made this platform a harder place for subject matter experts to share and amplify their knowledge. But pay-to-play virality, set for April 1, will be the worst so far. A further reason to migrate serious conversation to #Mastodon.
