In January, Nissan is cutting 9000 jobs in your state. I see you voted for trump. I hear there are fields that need fruit pickers soon. Chop Chop 🖕

They’re the first American workers to win a union at a non-union car company in decades.

The Tennessee Republican Party has rejected a bill which would have granted an exception to the state's abortion ban for children under the age of 13 who have been the victims of rape. https://t.co/o8TbglNhbO

And in each of those nine states, it has proven to be an abject failure. This is not about "education," nor "freedom." This is merely a scam to ciphon public money into private schools. https://t.co/9yIqq6fNjS

You don't hear any Republicans condemning Tennessee for denying free speech. It's just a harmless sign.

GOP-led Tennessee legislature orders removal of public from gun control hearinghttps://t.co/6uCNQb2TEz
Texas is trying interfere with how their largest blue county runs elections.

This isn’t an isolated incident.
The @GOP are systematically chipping away at our democracy to insert their control:
-TN is trying to slash Nashville’s city council in half
-FL hired a police squad to…
Just weeks after a mass shooting massacre at a Tennessee school republicans there have passed a law to protect….gun makers. That’s republicans’ priority: gun makers over dead kids. pic.twitter.com/jYtnN5DFZJ

“Racists lawmakers kick out black lawmakers for racists reasons” is the objective way to say it, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable.

Three kids and three officials gunned down in yet another mass shooting.
— President Biden (@POTUS) April 6, 2023
And what are GOP officials focused on?
Punishing lawmakers who joined thousands of peaceful protesters calling for action.
It's shocking, undemocratic, and without precedent. https://t.co/NB9gSdFI9h
A grotesque abuse of power. That it's two Black men and a woman, all of whom represent urban areas is no coincidence.

From @brotherjones_ on the ground in Nashville— the Tennessee legislator is planning to expel lawmakers who stood with gun control advocates today.

They have been stripped from committee assignments and their member ID’s have been shut off.

The wife of my governor had friends get massacred at Covenant and instead of saying "I'll never let this happen again." He wants us to pray. It was a Christian school dumbass. If prayers worked, they'd all be alive today. https://t.co/QSoUCw6ZbO

Tennessee @GovBillLee hasn't had time yet to tweet his thoughts and prayers for Covenant School, but when he does, remind him that this is exactly why police and citizens opposed the permitless carry bill he signed into law at a gun maker's factory in 2021. #tnleg pic.twitter.com/NZ2smJQEkC

Wow. During a hearing on a bill that would bring back firing squads and the electric chair, Republican Paul Sherrell from Tennessee just suggested bringing back lynching.
— Harry Sisson (@harryjsisson) March 2, 2023
I am disgusted. This is the Republican Party.
Wedge issues like book bans appear when fascists have no plan to govern and just want to direct white rage at public institutions like schools to erode support for the public good.
