Everyone needs to be paying attention to what's happening in Tennessee 🚨

3 lawmakers are about to be illegally ousted for joining the 10,000 kids protesting at the state capitol.

Stop following Trump's location and focus on protecting our democracy from fascism everywhere. https://twitter.com/brotherjones_/status/1643063537244291076

Rep. Justin Jones on Twitter

“Tonight as Tennessee House Republicans push forward to schedule vote on our expulsion, Speaker Sexton orders the gallery cleared as crowd chants “fascists.” Media forced out at as well. Then, Rep. Lafferty (R-Knox) pushes me and grabs my phone. This is a sad day for Tennessee.”

@Melzpetpals yes, agree. When I see a ton of coverage on one topic I sense attention is being diverted away from something more important. And yes, video I've seen of that Nashville protest looked monumental.

I wonder how the authorities are going to respond...

@Makikigirl they removed 3 Dems from their positions in retaliation.

@Melzpetpals it's so hard to follow their train of thought. Closest I can relate them to are authoritative parents of teens they feel need to be reeled in from disastrous behavior that would ruin their future.

It's mind boggling how limited these authoritarians are with their responses to issues.

@Makikigirl and how hypocritical too. They are removing these legislators today and they represent about 200,000 people. Crazy.
