Tennessee GOP strips most House Democrats of committee posts
“Speaker of the TN House Cameron Sexton just removed me and every Democrat — and therefore every Black elected official in the state legislature from any committee we served on," Rep. Pearson said. Fascist reprisals for protesting.
HumanityExists18Every fascist/racist needs to be documented into a database for future prosecution
Diane Doyle10Basically, Tennessee is now officially a one party dictatorship as much as a one party dictatorship as the Soviet Union. Only one political party is legal, for all practical purposes.
First Name-Last Name6The GOP just doesnt want anyone to see them in their robes and hoods.
lexquinlan.bsky.social4Increasingly embarrassing to be a sentient human much less a white American.
The Best Words3Fucking Klansmen. They will pay electorally in the Fall.
lolita shatter3Fucking infuriating. Get your shit together, Tennessee voters. Time to remove the racist fascist white supremacists from your State House.
Rose (\(ㅇㅅㅇ❀)/)3And they can just do that huh? why cant we just say- no actually none of you republicans have jobs now instead?
reasonmatters.bsky.social3Cameron Sexton's name certainly calls to mind an aggressive privileged white supremacist, that's for sure. Southern white Republicans are shameless in their racism. What a toad.
Jane Rabbit2@brotherjones.bsky.social I know you'll make this into good trouble still, I'm so sorry please keep letting us know how we can support you
Tennessee Republicans just stripped ALL House Democrats of their committee assignments through November because they protested a gerrymandered map designed to dilute Black voting power in Memphis. Unfuckingbelievable racist, fascist BS. www.newschannel5.com/news/tenness...
AsteroidX13Is anyone else hear the war drums ? They arent going away quietly.
Catherine1218% to 35% Citizens of Tennessee who are democrats, and, roughly 48% of Tennessee voters who are classified as Independent or unaffiliated will now be taxed without representation. The cornerstone of the Republican Political Party is: Full regard for selves & sadistic disregard for everyone else.

Deadcoco7That is a really bad look for Tennessee it makes it look like the whole state is racist I'm sure that can't be the case but the Republican party is and people who vote for the Republican party at this point are racist as well
Tooey7Holy sh*t. How long before the Rs start wearing their white hoods in public?
Dan6Tennessee is a racist and corrupt as they come.
🇨🇦6No longer a functioning democracy. Fight back Tennessee. One-party rule is a kleptocratic dictatorship.
Chuck Russell6Nobody in tennessee should pay their state taxes. Defund the confederacy.
Freestatefemale5How is that even allowed? Feels like stripping the people of full representation.
J9 Artist5What losers in desperation do.
Midnight5They had little power on those committees anyway. Turn it into a positive. Now the dems have free time to get out in the community and rile up their supporters. Wishing you much GOOD TROUBLE! @thetnholler.bsky.social
dshags2So, what are Tennessee residents going to do ... only 34% of voters there are registered as Republican!
Let’s Be Frank2It’s jaw-droppingly unbelievable in 2026. This cannot happen in a sane and civil society. The MAGAT Congress and the Supreme Court are loaded with shameless White Supremacists now emboldened by a fascist thug in the White House. They’ve set this country back 100 years.
EmmyEm 🇺🇸+🇬🇧💙2Well, now those Dems have more time and more ammo to reach voters.
