⚠️ 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 Tennessee allows guns to be carried inside the state Capitol. What a quandary these GOP legislators would be in if all the protestors outside laid down their signs and walked inside armed.
The policy, which Lt. Gov. Randy McNally, R-Oak Ridge, and House Speaker Beth Harwell, R-Nashville, approved Dec. 14, expressly prohibits “hand-carried signs and signs on hand sticks” because they “represent a serious safety hazard.”
WTF. The witless irony of stomping on the 1st Amendment while stroking the 2nd is vomit-inducing 🤢🤢🤢🤢
