Tonight on the floor was difficult. I’ll talk more about that later, but a man on the floor actually said, out loud, to the body, that they would do everything they could to protect the fetus. As an afterward, he said they would do what they could for pregnant women-no promises.

Actual video and actual quote (I paraphrased) coming so you can see for yourself. But every living, breathing TN woman and girl were told they didn’t matter as much as a fetus.

For those keeping score at home... Things that WILL NOT get you expelled from the TN state legislature: - child molestation - domestic violence - federal investigation - peeing on your colleague's chair Things that will: - fighting to protect kids from gun violence

This isn’t happening in a vacuum, at all. Tennessee Republicans have been heavily suppressing tremors of dissent and protest. This from last year. boltsmag.org/pamela-moses/

Ironically, Tennessee Republicans are using cancel culture against legislators who are literally pro life

Nashville's Bill Beck says when former Rep. Jeremy Durham was reported -- by the Attorney General -- to have sexually assaulted or harassed 23+ women, Republicans said they couldn't expel him because he hadn't had due process.

It’s interesting that there appear to be Republicans on the floor right now breaking rules by video recording on the house floor while in session. #justsaying

So far, every time this Supreme Court doesn't immediately toss an abortion case, it is Bad News for abortion rights

I read takes like this, written by men who fancy themselves clever because their ignorance creates small worlds for them to lord over, who presume to assume the mantle of the thing they call ‘Western culture’ with no understanding of the humility and effort it takes (1/N)

This is a helpful reminder to Rep. Gloria Johnson and put Sen. Marsha Blackburn with the rest of the garbage!

Fun fact the most comprehensive database of American citizens and their health is in China

In the span of a few days, the Roman Catholic diocese of Lafayette, Louisiana, has excommunicated a man who resigned as a deacon after a priest with whom he served pleaded guilty to molesting his (the deacon's) altar boy son. | theguardian.com/us-news/2024/m…

Today my plan to steal the sun will be realized.

🚨 Y’all, we are waaaaay behind in this year’s fundraiser for the Louisiana Abortion Fund. We need to raise $50,000 by 5/31 or we’ll lose matching funds ( and right now we have less than 3k! 😱) Can you help?

I appreciate that whoever wrote this code planned for edge cases like this.
