TN Rep. #JustinJones (D-Nashville) was ruled out of order and barred from speaking for the rest of the day. Yet another member of the same body was ruled out of order twice but was not silenced. Continuing to silence the voices of voters. #VoteSuppression, just another form. Good people not doing enough. #DOJ failing to intervene at the root of the American democracy crisis.
#BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter needs to find another home. Cesspool with dead birds stink.

@JaniceOCG reading this yesterday and my mind instantly correlated every in office political debate where the right leaning participants got angry when they were losing debate points and would then figuratively flip the table though where volume and drown out any logical reasoning. It is the same thing, only TN GOP has the power to actually silence members of the congress preventing them from doing their job.

Yes, it is now not democratic but fascist rule in TN, FL, TX, and many other local governments, It is flourishing and no matter the polls conclusions, highly acceptable across the country.
