@A_Bama_ @MainStreetMuse @Acyn Ga and the Board of Regents System have invested heavily in the infrastructure, education and industrial base of NWGa with tremendous gains in the economy of the last 5 decades. Much of the foundational labor in carpet and poultry has been from undocumented labor. 🍰 & racism too

If #CovidVaccine funding goes away, here is what happens: 1.Vaccine still delivered in multi-dose vials. 2. Pediatricians can't afford to waste doses but also can't avoid it. 3. Pediatricians stop giving Covid Vaccine. 4. Covid rates surge. Let's not do this. #tweetiatrician

@ZachWLambert I know there have been different Bible translations throughout the years, but I’m pretty sure there isn’t a version in which Jesus says, “Follow me. But, if need be, you do you and we’ll be cool.”
English
Many people are deconstructing their faith because they were handed a version of God that is nothing like Jesus by people trying to hoard wealth and accumulate power.

This has been a DCS funding problem for the last 12 years. Inaction on improving this problem is incompatible with caring about children, mental health or crime tennessean.com/story/news/pol…

Republicans are suing to stop people from getting student loan forgiveness.
Ask yourself why.

This impacts patients in our practice frequently. It is usually the direct consequence of under resourced schools unable to meet the exceptional needs of our kids. This falls on the community and school system leadership but the most at risk families pay the price

TN pastors read from Amos 5 from The Message to Gov Lee on his declared day of fasting and prayer. #justice #dayofprayer

@RevSoMuchBible @davidsibley When I suggested as a young adult to my pastor father that his views on theology, orthopraxy and even parenting were more based on John Locke than Jesus, he didn’t talk to me for three months. He now sees that moment as the most pivotal in his walk.

They were warned.

Yes, this happened in the Tennessee legislature this week! Rep. @78RepLittleton (R-Dickson) and Sen. @janicebowlingtn (R-Tullahoma) asked about the “growing crisis” of furries being allowed to use litter boxes in the classroom. (Spoiler: there’s zero evidence that it’s true!)
