“Jeffrey Clemmons, Ramos' campaign manager, told KVUE's media partners at the Austin American-Statesman that Ramos was detained while walking his dog at around 8:50 a.m.
According to Clemmons, the state troopers, many who arrived in unmarked vehicles, did not show Ramos a warrant for his arrest.”
Texas police has arrested a city council candidate in Austin who participated in a protest against ICE: www.kvue.com/article/news...

In 1969, as Black Americans were still barred from swimming with whites, Mr. Rogers broke a racial barrier by inviting Officer Clemmons to join him in cooling their feet together in a pool.

As the pearl-clutching over @Justinjpearson’s reaction to @RepAndrewFarmer disrespecting him for grieving his brother rolls in, we don’t remember @timburchett or anyone else calling for expulsions when Clemmons & Cepicky got in each other’s faces on the house floor:

Oh, shut up, Meghan!

In 1969, black people swimming with white people was seen as very controversial and often prohibited. Regardless, Mr. Rogers invited officer Clemmons to join him and cool his feet in a pool. It was a powerful, quiet statement against segregation and is still talked about today!

They’re getting vengeance for Mr Rogers cooling his feet with Officer Clemmons.

Yeah the thing about Mr. Rogers is his show was never political.

Check out Mr Rogers doing an actual act of transparent virtue signaling to fill the absence he had in depth of character

Bonus trivia, that man, François Clemmons, is also a proud gay man. If they knew that back then, the show would've been cancelled.
Mr. Rogers once washed a Black man's feet on his show and the whole nation crashed out I'm not even bullshitting.

THIS. Not just the OG scene in 69, but the 1993 followup — Dr. Clemmons was gay, and 1993 was still AIDS Panic times. Rev. Rogers knew exactly what he was about. Bless both of them.

Here’s the Tennessean’s write-up of the TN Dems leadership vote today, where Clemmons & Camper were elected over Pearson & Hardaway respectively. www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

CLEMMONS: “Please be aware — They’re trying to hide this data.”

@jrclemmons.bsky.social calls out Republicans for killing McKenzie’s bill to require @GovBillLee to tell us how many voucher kids were already in private schools aka “WELFARE FOR THE WEALTHY”

And now they want to double it

“It really exposes the inequality underlying our entire society.”

Kanew & @jrclemmons.bsky.social discuss 700,000 Tennesseans needing food assistance, because many jobs don’t pay them enough to live. (Aka corporate welfare)

Clemmons says even some state employees are on SNAP😕

Their act challenged racial norms, symbolizing equality and inclusion. More of the clip can be seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6O_...

“BULLY” BULSO: “It makes explicit in our state constitution that medical freedom is a fundamental right.”

CLEMMONS: “I find it very hypocritical… are we gonna protect the medical freedom of women, in the state of Tennessee?” 🤔🎯 #ForcedBirthState

Read this memoir by Dr. Francois Clemmons a few years ago and it's stuck with me:

REP. @jrclemmons.bsky.social : “If you solely relied on census data, I’m confused about how you knew partisan scores when drawing this map.”

Rep. Jason Zachary: “Did you have a question?”🤷🏼

CLEMMONS: “If that’s your answer, that is all I need.”😬

⚡️UPDATE: John Ray Clemmons has been re-elected @tndemocrats.bsky.social caucus chair.

Justin J. Pearson was the other candidate.

Seems they are not releasing the vote count.
