Rep Bulso doesn't want Pride flags in schools but used the Supremes' same-sex ruling to try to argue that first cousins should be able to marry, including gay first cousins: tennesseelookout.com/2024/04/12/sto…

WATCH: “48 states got the funding - why didn’t Tennessee apply for the $7.2 MILLION grant to support small farmers & food banks? They were counting on that💰.”

TN Dept. of Ag Gov. Bill Lee is this incompetence? Cruelty?

Should be a bigger story. More: buff.ly/4ajD077

.William Lamberth joins the rest of TNGOP in crying #BackTheBlue after ignoring police requests for:

🚨Red flag laws
🚨No permitless carry
🚨No open carry long guns
🚨No guns in cars

Save your prayers, William. You & the rest of Speaker Cameron Sexton’s goons got these officers killed.

TN voters, if only they’d fight as hard to keep guns out of our schools as they do to keep unions out of TN! Fighting to keep wages low - shame on all of them! hcdp UAW Allison Gorman Rachel Campbell

The Gov. Bill Lee admin missed 2 application deadlines, ignored multiple emails, and ultimately lost out on $7.2 million in funding for TN farmers. 1 of only 3 states not to apply. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Yet another Bill Lee fail that negatively impacts TN’s working families. 🧑‍🌾 👩‍🌾

That didn't take long.

TN voters, please consider donating to Lexi Melton for TN’s campaign. Let’s all do everything we can to volunteer, amplify and vote to get her elected.

It’s a Throwback Thursday post, but segregation is also in our futures with the nationally-funded voucher legislation. Call and write your state legislators.

🚨A bill passed senate allowing teachers & staff w/ direct student responsibility to carry firearms.Parents & other staff WON’T know who. Sign the letter now to take action. TN already passed a $230 million school safety package already w/ funding for SROs

CHALKBEAT: “Lee’s push to create a statewide school voucher system is running out of time as Republican lawmakers work to reconcile significantly different proposals… bill has stalled for three weeks in finance committees — without public discussion.” chalkbeat.org/tennessee/2024…

Brought to you by the group that cuts mics, expels Black Dems, breaks their own rules, and has the Capitol looking like the Kremlin.

Deberry makes over $200,000 a year in the Gov. Bill Lee administration to let himself be used like this. Shameful.

This bill passed the Legislature yesterday and has now been signed by the two speakers, so it is about to hit the Governor's desk. Call him and urge him to veto it.

The authoritarian TNGOP just doing what they do. Tacitly going along with it doesn’t make you any better. What are you afraid of? Let @kanew in!
