Don’t lose faith. Don’t falter, and don’t quit. This movement of love, hope, justice, and healing is inevitable. Thank you, Rep. Pearson.

This is the Good Friday for Democracy. The real insurrection is to nullify votes of the constituents who voted the lawmakers in office. This is wrong and we must do all we can to protect democracy. You can expel the members from the people’s house, but they won’t expel the moment

In the end, the people of Tennessee made the ultimate choice of courage and hope. Thank you to the thousands who came to the people’s house today to show the nation that we will not yield to authoritarian attacks on our democracy. Our fight is not over. #notonestepback ✊🏾

I’ve had four strategy calls today, didn’t raise a cent just folks offering strategy. Listen, there is no shortage of strategy in this state. Our organizations are fully functioning just underfunded. We already have all the tools, data and strategy. We just need resources in TN.

Another thing the media has missed some of the most talented Black organizers in Tennessee have packed up and left because 1. We could not afford to pay them what they deserved 2. Extreme burnout 3. Death threats And racial targeting.

When you see me doing the things that I tried to do with you don’t trip when you see me thriving elsewhere. You had the opportunity to build with me too.

WATCH: “Parliamentary inquiry… what’s the process for a vote of ‘NO CONFIDENCE’ in Speaker Sexton?” #KremlinCameron Speaker Cameron Sexton CUTS JONES’ MIC for the 3rd time this week, as Rep. Justin Jones asks about a nc vote— with Sexton’s fragile iron fist crushing democracy in the House.🇺🇸

“POWER TO THE PEOPLE!” Rep. Justin Jones joins the protestors in the rotunda after #KremlinCameron & the TN House Republicans vote to silence him for no reason, simply because they could. The Dems walked out.

The underlying *offense* Speaker Cameron Sexton ruled Rep. Justin Jones “out of order” for was so minimal even the clerk couldn’t remember it. It was less off topic than most members are every time they speak. Sexton is a wanna-be dictator tyrant. The walkout was entirely justified.

REP. Bo Mitchell MITCHELL: “A great waste of time. Gov. Bill Lee called a special session about gun violence where I couldn’t bring a bill about gun violence… it looks like East Germany up here.” #KremlinCameron #TNSpecialSession
