⚠️ Via Sherrilyn Ifill:
This is a VERY SERIOUS situation unfolding in #Nashville. Reps who stood w/their constituents who came to state house to demand #guns safety are facing expulsion from the House. Their Member ID badges have already been turned off. This is how #democracy ends.

...The Tenn. legis is planning to expel lawmakers who stood w gun control advocates today.
They've been stripped from committee assignments & their member ID’s shut off
THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY.
@GottaLaff so I'll be honest, back when I was a teen & Obama was elected I asked why the GOP wasn't expelled from the Feds (like w/ Reconstruction Era) b/c of 1960's rhetoric of "Big Tent" Dems. I was told white power terrorists would kill too many people. The irony being the GOP wasn't expelled in "hopes" of deescalation, but now the GOP did that in Tennessee anyways. Why were fascists platformed?
When I was a teen the mood was betrayal, so now it's just a grim day to see it validated. 😭😭💀💀💀
