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

To understand why so many white folks deny the centrality of racism in US history, consider what most of us were taught (or weren’t) about the entirely racist motivations for killing Lincoln. Booth wasn’t a madman. He was a white supremacist terrorist.

Watch Professor Khiara Bridges HANDLE Josh Hawley.
✅Laughing at his attempts to seem reasonable and to denigrate her.
✅Dismissing his insincere attempts to deny trans people’s existence
✅Calling his line of questioning about “what is a woman” transphobic.
Masterful.

As promised: The history of our racist gun laws and a history of the Second Amendment, beginning with our first gun laws and Slave Patrols and ending with white-power militias.
I expanded, added sources, and edited my thread from a few days ago.

More sad news for Jefferson County, the only school district in Florida to be privatized.
Only 19% of its third graders passed the state's reading test this year — by far the worst in the state.
Last year it was 28%, also the worst.
