Here is the kind of garbage Tennessee (RepubliKKKan) legislators are doing

Instead of taking care of important things, Tennessee RepubliKKKans are fcuking around with stuff like this:

Bill would require hospitals report if a person is suffering a drug overdose to police in Tennessee

(which could be a Constitutional violation at most and a HIPAA violation at least)

and

Tennessee lawmakers debate several anti-LGBTQ bills, one headed to Governor's desk

I thought about including the one defining antisemitism, but after reading the article, that one actually makes some sense, because it speaks to the internationally accepted definition. Still, RepubliKKKans do nothing else much but play around with culture war issues because it distracts from the fact that the states they run are near the bottom in education, health, care for women and children, and other economic and social issues, and would collapse entirely if it were not for assistance from blue states. Perhaps we should let them.
