I donned a suit and tie this morning and moseyed over to the Cordell Hull Building of the Tennessee State Capitol to try to prevent my state legislature from debasing itself and disgracing our state further by moving a bill that would decriminalize killing protesters with cars forward in my Senate Judiciary Committee. I’ll link to the coverage I can find as it appears, but I’m beginning to suspect some reporting will only happen if I do it myself.
thank you for your heart and conscience, david. for caring enough to put on a suit and leave the house and give us all the account. i came within yards of being run over by one of these guys here in iowa city this summer. the attempted murderer told the judge “i thought they needed an attitude adjustment”. the judge waived the $1,000 fine. what did you say? something about how we might have to start being the journalists we’re looking for? thank you for doing the work today of showing the way.

Thanks for sharing this David. This is the first time I've heard Justin Jones speak. I'm eager to meet him someday.
Thanks for you journalistic efforts here David - stuff I need to know about.
