Rutherford County (TN) is facing a serious budget crisis that could lead to a tax increase and the local school board just voted to exacerbate the problem (by granting tax money to a Hillsdale charter school).

Wow: Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, one of the Dems that the GOP is trying to expel from state legislature to protesting gun violence, calls out his colleagues on the floor
‘For years, one of your colleagues, an admitted child molester, sat in this chamber – no expulsion’

With the growth of technology & advancements, it is easy to lose sight of how important it is to be happy. People are pushing themselves to work hard. This effort can be meaningless if we aren't happy at the end of the day. From the winter nature in the Yukon, sending joy & hope!

So I hope every woman and every person capable of becoming pregnant knows that as of today you are not a full and equal citizen of the United States of America.

Nixon on his secret tapes,, May 1972:
“I don’t know why any individual should have a right to have a revolver in his house….Can’t we go after handguns, period?...I know the rifle association will be against it, the gun makers will be against it…People should not have handguns.”

In the aftermath of the Uvalde shooting, Greg Abbott went to a re-election fundraiser while Beto O'Rourke went to donate blood. The difference could not be more obvious.

In Judaism, if you say a prayer over something, then fail to do the requisite action that follows, like blessing bread and not eating it, it’s a bracha levatla - which is a sinful act.
If you pray for victims of gun violence but do nothing, it is a sinful act.

What time would the sun come up in in December in your part of the United States if Congress passes legislation that makes daylight savings time permanent. Some places not until 9:00 a.m. or later. Image from Capital Weather Gang

In Korean, the phrase Black Lives Matter translates to Black Lives Are Precious. You more than matter. You are more than worthy of protection. Black lives are beloved, cherished, dignified, and made in the Image Divine. #BlackHistoryMonth

No matter how you feel about whether or not 14+ teens should be able to get vaccinated without parental permission, the fact is @drfixus relayed existing law to physicians after clearing it internally, and was scapegoated by @GovBillLee for doing her job.

PSA: If you think keeping a KKK GRAND WIZARD STATUE in a place of honor in our Capitol is important to “remember history” but teaching that state-imposed segregation was part of our (recent) history is a no-no, you’re carrying on the tradition of white supremacy.

.@Wonkette reiterates that @GovBillLee & the @TNGOP just blocked HALF A BILLION DOLLARS from reaching unemployed folks (and our economy) because “250,000 open jobs” - but only 3% pay above poverty wages. 🧐
