🗣️ @hill_bron: “I grew up in small town TN; Aldean's song does not represent my values — Generalizing that all small towns believe the same aggressively conservative views is naive, adds to our divide, stops country music from being for everyone.” columbiadailyherald.com/stor…

Thank you @POTUS and @TheDemocrats!
It was great to join @CharterGov as we continue to make Tennessee the best and most well connected state in the country. Yesterday we celebrated a huge investment for broadband expansion for Cumberland County at the ribbon cutting in Pleasant Hill.

Y'all, I have to tell you something terrible, because I cannot hold it in my heart alone. So, Henry Choate, the kid they lynched at the Maury County courthouse? He was accused of assaulting a white girl name Sarah Harlan. They tracked him to his grandfather's house and grabbed

1. 13 GOP Attorneys General wrote a letter to 100 top CEOs alleging they were discriminating against white people — "an inversion of the odious discriminatory practices of the distant past."
Is Corporate America really biased against white people?

Sir— you voted to expel the two youngest Black legislators in our state because we protested with our constituents calling for common sense gun laws. Meanwhile, you shielded your Republican Vice-Chair who was sexually harassing an intern until it became public. That’s corruption.

So this is a thing. I’m so happy we had the opportunity to talk about the gun violence problem on a national stage. We must act now. These young people (and their parents) want us to act now to save lives!

Representative Justin Jones @brotherjones_ has been appointed by the Nashville Metro Council to fill the vacant seat that Republicans expelled him from. The Council has followed the law, it’s time for the Republican Speaker to do the same and swear him back into the State House.

Earlier, I spoke to Reps Jones, Pearson, and Johnson to thank them for their leadership and courage in the face of a blatant disregard of our nation’s democratic values.
Our country needs to take action on gun violence — to do that we need more voices like theirs speaking out.

This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.

This is not democracy. This is about absolute power and control over the people inside and outside the House who are demanding change. @repgloriajohnson @brotherjones_ & I are working to elevate the issues in our communities, who want to see the end of gun violence in TN.

Here is the letter I sent to every TN House member yesterday taking accountability for not following decorum & also explaining why it was important for us to speak up and not remain silent as thousands chanted and marched to end gun violence! Yet, they still voted for expulsion.
