we need to talk. All of my incredible musician friends, songwriters, artists, & producers, must speak out against tyranny and in favor of representative democratic norms in your state. This is preposterous.
Please speak up. #TyrannyInTennesseeWay to further engage ALL people including PoC, millennials, first time voters, LGBTQ+, cementing an even bigger, more energized DEMOCRATIC base. The Republican party’s kink for self-harm apparently knows no limit.
#TyrannyInTennessee #HomeOfTheKKKRay was responding to news Thursday that the Tennessee House voted to expel two Democratic representatives, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, for engaging in a protest against gun violence and stymied gun reform following the fatal school shooting in Nashville last week. Their Democratic colleague, Rep. Gloria Johnson, also partook in the protest but was permitted to stay.
The GOP supermajority, which accused Jones, Johnson and Pearson of breaking House rules on conduct and decorum, voted 72-75 to expel Jones and 69-26 to expel Pearson, who are both Black. But the resolution to expel Johnson, who is white, failed by one vote, with the final tally coming in at 65 to 30.The fact that Johnson was allowed to remain on the House floor while two Black colleagues were expelled has gained media traction going into the weekend as the latest example of racism within the Republican Party. It is likely that a career musician like Ray called for the support of his music industry contemporaries in part because of Nashville’s reputation as a historic musical incubator for country and rock ‘n’ roll acts.

Hunter Ingram SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers from “Love,” the finale of the limited series “Tiny Beautiful Things,” now streaming on Hulu. Hulu’s “Tiny Beautiful Things” ends on a serene note, with a hospital bed in the middle of a horse pasture and a single spoken word: “love.” The moment is one of the few shared between Kathryn Hahn and Merritt Wever in the limited series, which is based on author Cheryl Strayed’s life and her time writing an advice column called “Dear Sugar.” Wever plays Frankie, the free-spirited mother of Hahn’s character Clare, who (like Strayed’s mother) dies suddenly of lung cancer at the age of 45. The story primarily takes place in the present day as a grown-up Clare (played by Hahn) grapples with the trauma of having lost her mother, while Wever’s character exists in flashbacks to the 1990s when Clare was in her 20s and played by Sarah Pidgeon.
