Thank you @NC5PhilWilliams for applying the pressure to Casada and his former CoS about the foolishness. I also want to thank @TheTNHoller for continued voice on these issues. Today is a small step forward and it shows that alternative media with mainstream media can work... 1
In holding elected officials accountable. Folks have complained about @TheTNHoller & @stopbyrd but guess what? Their willingness to go where mainstream media wouldn’t go worked! Pressure was applied and 2 major resignations followed.
We the people feel voiceless because our “leaders” act bad and mainstream media doesn’t always do the best job in highlighting the bad actions. But with alternative media these narratives can change.
I also think the activists who consistently protested at the #TnLeg deserve their own recognition for their protest - again when folks thought it was out of line or wouldn’t work. All the collective small steps worked. So @brotherjones_ @JeneishaCHarris @Jennyinthesky7 @AftynBehn
Thank you for putting yourselves on the line! You might not get the mainstream media recognition but folks who care about real change see and appreciate you. There is still work to be done with the @stopbyrd movement and believe me it will continue. Today is just a small victory.
