REPORT: Under TNGOP, Tennessee ranks 45th for student funding, 44th for teacher pay in 🇺🇸

Senator London Lamar: “The Republican record on public education is starvation budgets, disrespect for teachers and voucher scams that defund our neighborhood schools.” tnsenatedems.medium.com/tennessee-rank…

MEMPHIS MEMPHIS MEMPHIS THE BEAUTIFUL LAND OF THE WORLD

Come to our rally on Monday, let’s talk about flipping seats! CC: Senator London Lamar, John Ray Clemmons, Sen. Sara Kyle, Jesse Huseth, Noah Nordstrom secure.ngpvan.com/2CF-XL1waUOEWY…

I saw someone with an unmarked van installing cameras in my neighborhood this week.

The cameras blend in until you spot the first one.

After that, you can't un-see the top-heavy black poles everywhere.

And so I went down a rabbit hole...

LEGALIZE IT: Senator London Lamar says federal marijuana reclassification a 'historic decision driven by common sense.'

The TNGOP has kept Tennessee in the dark ages while patients with cancer & chronic pain have begged for relief. This move could offer help.

In Tennessee, RFLC member Senator London Lamar is working for reproductive justice with bills to end high maternal & infant death rates across the state that fall hardest on Black and Latina families. Nashville Post zurl.co/gwNU

I want to thank my colleagues for standing with me against the continued nonsense coming out of Nashville that puts our children in harms way. I have 3 kids, all been in lock downs due to active shooters. No one cares more about keeping them safe than me. But this isn’t the way.

WATCH: “BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS!! VOTE THEM OUT!!”

More footage of chaos erupting and a die-in ensuing as the TN House Republicans passes the wildly unpopular Ryan Williams arming teachers bill as angry students and parents looked on from the full gallery.

My baby and her friends are there. The moment I heard the chants, my heart dropped. I knew they would be removed and I prayed they would not be hurt. Terrifying moment as mama. My baby and her friends are literally fighting for their lives. The children are leading.

It’s disgusting the House has joined the Senate in passing one of the most dangerous bills to come out this session… arming teachers with guns! With guns being the leading cause of death of children, more kids are at risk of getting shot.. this isn’t pro-life

The majority claims to be pro-life but created a state where guns are the leading cause of death for children… make it make sense

If Republican voters were actually aware of the bad bills their party members pass that hurt them, I’m sure they’d become independents or democrats. Hence why the Republicans distract voters with divisive social issues so voters are ignorant to the bad fiscal & criminal policies

The legislature hasn’t accomplished anything that helps the state or working families. Instead they’ve attacked Memphis, put guns in hands of teachers and gave corporations over a billion in tax refunds. Working families got nothing! The majority doesn’t care about citizens.

Sen. London Lamar’s pattern of introducing legislation aimed at improving maternal mortality rates is personal.

Proud of our Tennessee Senate Democrats Caucus this week. Four consecutive days of 4-5 hour floor sessions debating a barrage of tngop's bad ideas and defending Tennesseans from harmful bills. It's been taxing and exhausting TBH but the 5 of us(minus Kyle) held it down!

Black women in America are 3x as likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women, making Black Maternal Health Week an urgent call for action.

That’s why we’re using the power of the federal government to address the long-standing disparities that Black

Teachers don’t want this. Moms don’t want this. Thank you Senator London Lamar for fighting for our kids. 👊🏼
