This is an outrage! By building a new gas plant, TVA would ignore the EPA and would disregard climate science, economics, and the voices of Tennesseans. Renewable energy is increasingly cheaper, more reliable, and better for our planet and its people.

I worked to pass TWO laws to deal with gun switches during session. ⁦TN House Republicans⁩ Leader William Lamberth said my bills were “unnecessary.” I want laws that make us safer not just incarcerate more people. We should be able to work on this together! dailymemphian.com/article/43611/…

Lifting up Charlotte in prayer. Four law enforcement officers were killed by an individual with a high powered rifle. These weapons of war are a threat to our community & those who swear to serve and protect our communities. No one needs an assault rifle! They deserved better!

Yesterday, I joined Rep. Justin Jones to talk to Velshi on MSNBC about the ridiculous decision of the TN GOP to prioritize the gun lobby over the safety of our students. We need to stop the guns from getting to the schoolhouse, not bring the gunfights into the classroom!

WATCH: “Welcome to Nashville… It’s courage.”

Rep. Justin Jones brings drag queens from HBO’s “We’re Here” to the House floor. The show features 🏳️‍🌈 folks in TN, and Boro Pride being canceled (since overturned)

Jones says mass shootings, not drag queens, are a threat to our kids.

WATCH: “They don’t think critically about the ramifications of their decision-making.”

Justin J. Pearson talks to Ali Velshi about the TNGOP Ryan Williams arming teachers bill — rejected by many of Tennessee’s largest school districts already.

The bill to stop the study of reparations has been TABLED! Congratulations to all of the activists who fought and pushed to stop this bill from coming forward especially Dr. Earle Fisher Rev. Earle J. Fisher, Ph.D. and the Memphis community! Here’s the final tally!

WATCH: “If we don’t have the courage to protect our citizens, why are we taking that power away from local governments? This makes no sense.”

Justin J. Pearson & Rep. Bob Freeman rip Jody Barrett - State Representative (TN69) Barrett’s bill that blocks locals from keeping guns from dangerous people.

When bullies and cowards have power, they abuse it.

The response to the gun violence epidemic in our state are laws that arm teachers, honor rifles, lower age requirements & allow long guns in public.

These are dangerous laws and scary times in TN.

The entire gallery has been cleared in our state house after the Republican Party just passed a bill to arm teachers and the People dissented. This is an awful day for Tennessee, our kids, our teachers, and communities. Instead of protecting kids, thy’ve protected guns AGAIN!

The bill to arm teachers has been placed on the calendar for tomorrow at 1pm. This is dangerous and terrifying. Our schools are going to have more instances of gun violence due to this bad bill. Arming teachers isn’t the answer to legislator’s cowardice! #ProtectKidsNotGuns

As they prepare the pass this budget against all of these objections, TN House Republicans is kicking people out of the gallery.
