Look, I obviously know the circumstances are different, but there is a ton of overlap between what is going on now and the various iterations of the so-called campus free speech wars that we’ve seen for years. We know how this will unfold. Here’s a sneak preview.
I was hungry, but you took free lunch out of schools. I was thirsty, but you made me drink contaminated water. I was a stranger, but you watched me and my children drown underneath your razor-wire buoys. I was sick, but you cut my healthcare coverage. I was in prison, but…
The guy can’t even answer a simple question. From no-bid contracts to “sock masks” to franchise tax “refunds” to toll lanes to vouchers to this sham office, @GovBillLee’s entire admin is ONE BIG SCAM. He’s blown up the state budget and set the state up for a financial crisis.

What y’all asked for: -Background checks -Red Flag Laws -Assault Weapons Ban -Raise the age What TN Republicans are giving you: -Arming Teachers w/o telling parents -Force kids into gun class, no opt out -open carry of assault weapons & lower the age to 18
WATCH: “Shame on us, Mister Speaker.” JUST NOW — the arming teachers bill passed the Senate on party lines with Republican support, as @ltgovmcnally had parents removed from the balcony and @yarbro & @TNSenateDems said it isn’t what most Tennesseans want to keep kids safe.
Important.
And thanks to @DianeNashville, along with everyone who took the time to join us on our Zoom! 🙏 I wholeheartedly support @VoteGloriaJ for being right on all the issues, a tireless advocate for Tennesseans & decidedly anti-bloodbath. 👍 #VoteJohnson4Tennessee ☑️🗳️

Crystal clear, crucially important. About democracy, not just Trump.

This is disgusting. It should be deleted and they should make a public apology to the man and his family. This shouldn’t be difficult.

Trump inviting Russia to attack NATO allies should be one of the biggest stories of this election. The fact that it's not even on the front page of the NYT or Washington Post (while stories about Biden's age are) is a disgrace to journalism.

Walmart hiked prices on its Great Value food brands. The result? Its net income spiked 93% to $10.5 billion towards the end of 2023. Walmart rewarded shareholders with $5.9 billion in buybacks and dividends. When I say price gouging is driving inflation, this is what I mean.
Do you have a fourth grader in Tennessee? This explainer might be for you. We know 44,000 faced TCAP struggles as third graders. Those same kids — now in fourth grade — could face be held back to repeat fourth grade if they don't score high enough. I explain for @NC5.
I’ve had a front row seat to @GovBillLee’s admin. Past TN govs of both parties have valued our public schools, govt services & transparency, health care access, infrastructure, & our environment. Lee has disrespected and tried to dismantle every last bit. Trust him at your peril.

We need to stop viewing the South as overwhelmingly racist and white, and start viewing it as vast communities of color, held hostage by right-wing state governments.

WATCH: “It’s embarrassing, we have a commissioner of education that doesn’t understand basic education principles. She was a lobbyist.” Rep. @VoteGloriaJ joins the call for @GovBillLee’s statutorily unqualified @TNedu commissioner Lizzette Reynolds to resign. #ShallMeansShall
“New poll shows 72 percent of Republicans would be satisfied with a vindictive despot wannabe who has promised to spend 4 years unraveling the fabric of our democracy being the titular head of their Party.” There. Fixed it.

📌NOTE: That we are actually celebrating Brittany Watts will not be charged after a miscarriage is the best example yet of how far back in time the repulsive Republican Party is trying to drag women.
Hey TN GOP, your entire agenda puts the lives of Tennesseans in danger, so I think you’re the uncivil ones — not us Democrats.

WATCH: “Hey Lance, what does ‘The Office of Faith-Based Initiatives’ do exactly?”🤷🏻 @GovBillLee gives it $1.4 MILLION in taxpayer💰yearly, hired @lancevillio to run it (despite his recent startup “flirting with bankruptcy”). Lance had no answers. @JRClemmons wants an audit.

In the '30s, the Nazis launched a propaganda campaign in America to shift public opinion on the war in Europe. Today, Russia is using these same tactics to influence U.S. support for Ukraine. I asked Secretary Austin if he sees this campaign as a threat to American interests.
Crystal clear, crucially important. About democracy, not just Trump.

All right, I really should be doing literally anything else with my time, but I have certain compulsions, so here's a short thread on the Harvard thing. Or actually, not about Harvard per se, because I, like most Americans, don't really give a shit what goes on at Harvard.
Raise your hand if you are allowed on every state ballot.
OMG this speaks to me
What’s sad is that @GovBillLee could actually change every child’s life regardless of zip code or income by funding and fully supporting our public schools, instead of decimating them. But no donors or special interests would profit off of that plan, so….. voucher scam.
Education has the power to change a child's life, & it's time that TN extend education freedom to every family - regardless of zip code or income. Many thanks to @SarahHuckabee for joining us in TN to share how statewide parental choice is working in her state.
Elections are won on the margins. And Republicans know this, which is why they are engaging in a sustained, concerted, targeted effort to suppress young people from voting. We must expose them for it & give this the attention it needs. Or we may not have a democracy in 2024. /END
