WATCH: THE PEOPLE’S STATE OF THE STATE
“@GovBillLee has failed us! They don’t care about us!” — protestors at Gov. Lee’s state of the state yelled the truth about what’s really going on in Tennessee, and who Lee & the @TNGOP supermajority really represent. pic.twitter.com/smSTCCWqWa

“If something does happen to me, bring my casket outside the Capitol.” Activist Justin Jones on the RUN-OVER-A-PROTESTOR bill now revived by Lt. Gov. McNally, Gov. Bill Lee, and the Tennessee Republican Party.
“Are you worried BLACK PLAYERS won’t come to Tennessee? Why didn’t you go talk to the players about WHY they were kneeling?”
We asked Senators Rusty Crowe & Jon Lundberg about Coach Shay being forced out of ETSU (by boosters & TNGOP) for standing with his players.
State Senator Jon Lundberg walks right into a trap set by News 5 WCYB’s Caleb Perhne and ends up ACCIDENTALLY AGREEING that the government doesn’t have the right to dictate what kind of protest should be allowed when discussing the ETSU basketball players kneeling in protest.
In a deeply disappointing decision Franklin just voted to require permits to protest. All protests in Franklin have been peaceful.
The resistance was bipartisan. Mayor Ken Moore broke the 4-4 tie.
WATCH: “DEMOCRACY is not always tidy… I’m not going to support an ordinance that requires people to tell us when & where they plan to protest.”
FRANKLIN’s anti-1st amendment PERMIT-TO-PROTEST law passed 5-4, with @mayorkenmoore breaking the tie after bipartisan pushback.? pic.twitter.com/4V24xzOnWg

Governor Bill Lee announced that he will be signing a draconian anti-protest bill which includes making it a felony punishable by up to six years in prison to pitch a tent outside the Capitol overnight. This flies in the face of his claims of wanting to pass meaningful criminal justice reform, a term that House Majority Leader William Lamberth had the gall to use when referring to this bill.
Not only will this legislation have severe implications for protesters, but it will have far-reaching ramifications on the people in Tennessee who are experiencing homelessness.
Republican Legislators drafted this bill with the protesters who have been occupying the plaza outside the State Capitol in mind in an effort to silence them and their demands. We are left wondering if any members of the Tennessee Republican Party have learned from the late great John Lewis, or if they have considered that perhaps they are participating in government overreach, which they are so quick to decry when Democrats propose regulations.
.@GovBillLee will sign a bill that makes it a felony to put up a tent at night but doesn't care to enforce the law when his own legislators:
– take bribes in office
– sexually abuse children
– perjure themselvesHe doesn't care about lawlessness, he cares about the status quo. pic.twitter.com/N2O0UgRBbV

WATCH Holler co-founders Holly McCall & Justin Kanew – and Howard Garrett – speak out against a Franklin ordinance that seeks to regulate citizens’ First Amendment right to peaceable assembly.
Williamson County residents gathered on the Public Square in Franklin on Friday to call for Speaker Casada to resign from the legislature completely, immediately.
