"You ban books, you ban drag, kids are still in body bags."

Then you expel two black legislators who joined their protest. By expelling them you silenced two districts representation. You silenced their voices.

F*** You Tennessee!

Those House members that voted to expel the members of color are also racist!

The white male patriarchy is solidifying their demise. The majority of people know, they are in the majority and it will only continue to move in our favor! Being racist fascists, will only end their power grab faster.

At first, it was almost exclusively college kids while most middle-aged and older adults, including elected officials, thought it would just pass or wondered what was wrong with these kids. Soon the protests looked just like America -- all ages, religions, and races.

These students are educating a lot of under-informed voters right now.
